Schneider Altivar 71: The best choice for heavy duty industry

28.09.2022

In industry and the domestic sphere, in almost any technical system, a combination of an asynchronous motor and a frequency converter is used. Despite the obvious advantages of an asynchronous motor over a DC motor, its weakness was the difficulty in regulating the rotation speed. This problem has now been fixed thanks to variable speed drives.Schneider Altivar

The variable speed drive or frequency converter is designed to transfer alternating current from one frequency to another, that is, to change its voltage by rectifying the mains and converting it into a three-phase one.

In industry and the domestic sphere, in almost any technical system, a combination of an asynchronous motor and a frequency converter is used. Despite the obvious advantages of an asynchronous motor over a DC motor, its weakness was the difficulty in regulating the rotation speed. This problem has now been fixed thanks to variable speed drives.

The variable speed drive or frequency converter is designed to transfer alternating current from one frequency to another, that is, to change its voltage by rectifying the mains and converting it into a three-phase one.

Today we will look at the Schneider Altivar 71 variable speed drive line.

What is Altivar 71?

Altivar 71 (ATV 71) is a variable speed drive for 3-phase asynchronous electric motors with Schneider Altivar 71 motor overload protection.

Altivar 71 frequency converters are designed for motors from 0.37 to 630 kW with four types of mains supply:

  1. Single-phase, 200 - 240 V, from 0.37 to 5.5 kW.
  2. Three-phase, 200 - 240 V, from 0.37 to 75 kW.
  3. Three-phase, 380 - 480 V, from 0.75 to 500 kW.
  4. Three-phase, 500 - 690 V, from 1.5 to 630 kW.


This series of variable speed drives allows you to control, using the flux vector control (CVF) algorithm, asynchronous motors in open and closed loop speed control systems and synchronous motors with sinusoidal EMF in an open system.Schneider ATV71

With the main supply of 200 - 240 V and a 380 - 480 V, a functional range of frequency converters is offered, which allows you to control synchronous motors with a sinusoidal E.D.S. in a closed loop speed control system.
