The Schneider ATV9B0M10Q4 is a modular Altivar Process ATV900 drive rated for 1000 kW normal duty at 400 V, with a line current of 1550 A normal duty and 1240 A heavy duty. It handles synchronous and asynchronous motors, and includes an integrated EMC filter compliant with IEC 61800-3 category C3 for 300 m cable runs.
The 1000 kW normal duty rating at 400 V sets the motor power it can drive continuously with typical industrial loads. Heavy duty at 800 kW gives headroom for constant-torque applications like conveyors or extruders. The line current figures — 1550 A normal duty, 1240 A heavy duty — are what you size the input wiring and upstream protection for, not the motor FLA alone. Switching frequency is adjustable from 2.5 to 8 kHz, with derating above 2.5 kHz. That matters when you're trying to quiet motor noise or reduce harmonics — but you lose output current capacity as you go up. The drive also carries a prospective line short-circuit current rating of 50 kA, so it can be installed on high-fault-capacity supplies without additional series reactors in many cases. Safe torque off (STO) is rated SIL 3 per IEC 61508, which covers the safety function for the motor and the drive itself. That simplifies integration into safety circuits — no external safety relay needed for the stop function if the drive handles it.
Cabinet mount, forced convection cooling. The modular version ships as a kit: one control unit, mechanical mounting kits, power connection set, fuse set, six 160 kW power modules, and a front cover. That means you're not piecing together a drive from separate line items — it arrives as a single orderable assembly. Three option card slots (A, B, C) accept communication modules for Profibus DP, PROFINET, DeviceNet, CANopen, EtherCAT, plus digital/analog I/O and relay extension modules. Slot B also takes encoder interface modules (digital 5/12 V, analog, resolver). The drive ships with dual RJ45 for Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP and one RJ45 for Modbus serial, so basic networking is ready out of the box.
