The Schneider Electric ATV980C50Q4X1 is a regenerative variable speed drive from the Altivar Process ATV900 family, specifically the ATV980 regenerative system. It is rated for 500 to 400 kW output at a supply voltage of 380...415 V (-10...6 %), three-phase, 50/60 Hz. This is a compact floor-standing enclosure variant, IP23 rated, with forced convection cooling. It handles both asynchronous and synchronous motors, and is designed to meet IEC 61800-2, -3, -5-1, and IEC 60204-1. The drive includes an enclosure, Spacial SF graphical operating panel mounted in the door, main switch, line choke, dv/dt filter choke, and terminal blocks for main supply and motor — essentially a near-complete drive package for a regenerative application.
The IP23 enclosure is ventilated (forced convection) and suitable for indoor installation where dripping water and limited dust ingress are acceptable. The compact floor-standing format means it occupies a defined footprint on the plant floor, not a panel mount. Total harmonic current distortion (THDI) is less than 5 % at full load, conforming to IEEE 519. That is a strong figure for a regenerative drive — it means the built-in active front end cleans up the line side, reducing the need for external harmonic filters in most installations. Operating temperature range is 0...40 °C without derating, and 40...50 °C with derating. Below 0 °C, an optional enclosure heater is required. Altitude derating starts at 1000 m: 1 % per 100 m up to 2000 m, and continues to 4800 m with the same derating slope, with specific earthing system notes for TT, TN, and IT systems above 2000 m. Communication is via Modbus serial, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP — all standard on board. No option card required for basic network integration.

The drive carries CE marking and complies with IEC 61800-2 (adjustable speed drives), IEC 61800-3 (EMC), IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), and IEC 60204-1 (electrical equipment of machines). Environmental resistance includes chemical pollution class 3C3, dust class 3S3, and humidity class 3K3 per IEC 60721-3-3. EMC immunity is tested to level 3 for electrostatic discharge, radiated RF, conducted RF, and surge (1.2/50 µs - 8/20 µs), and level 4 for fast transients. Vibration resistance is 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 3...20 Hz and 0.6 gn at 10...200 Hz, conforming to class 3M3.
