Among a large number of electronic devices, frequency converters attract attention. These technical devices are specially designed to convert network parameters into output currents over a wide frequency range. A feature of modern inverters is the conversion of a wide frequency band. Today we will look at what Schneider Altivar is.

Schneider Electric ATV

Schneider Electric Altivar are frequency converters that are designed to vary the incoming current, which has a standard frequency, into alternating current with increased frequency characteristics.

Manufacturing companies specializing in the production of such devices offer two types of converters that differ in design features:

equipped with a motor operating in asynchronous mode, supplemented by a rotor functioning as a generator;
devices of electronic type of action.

Altivar frequency converters are among the electronic type of action that is required for motor control, regardless of typology. The desired action is achieved by creating an output current with specific frequency response. The simplest converters operate on the principle of the quotient of dividing the voltage by the current frequency. Such advanced models use the principle of vector control in their work.

Structurally, Altivar Frequency Converters consist of a rectifier used to convert industrial frequency currents into direct currents, and an inverter or converter used to create the required frequency and amplitude of variable current indicators. Also inside are the transistors needed to provide the correct amount of current used to power the electric motor.

Sometimes, in order to increase the resulting output voltage and power inside the converter, a choke is mounted in the area up to the engine. Reducing the impact of factors causing interference generated by the electromagnetic field can be achieved through the use of an EMC filter.

Altivar Process

The Altivar Process by Schneider Electric is a frequency converter from 0.75 to 800kW with built-in intelligent services that make it unique and provide overhead savings for industries and infrastructure.

Key built-in services and features that Schneider Altivar Process are equipped with:

Built-in power measurement and power consumption toolbar.
The built-in pump head and flow charts.
Low harmonics.
Monitoring and protection of the actuator.
Monitor pump deviation from a peak efficiency point.

Altivar Building and Machine Drives

Altivar Building Drives is a range of frequency converters designed for use in pumping, ventilation, and compressor applications. The power of electric motors is from 0.75 to 75 kW.

These frequency converters are integrated into Building Management Systems (BMS):

Configurable via network interfaces of BMS systems thanks to built-in communication capabilities.
Immediate fault detection: broken belt, pump running dry, power failure.
Reduced repair and maintenance costs: fault signaling, running time, etc.
Energy consumption control.

Also, frequency converters of this line are equipped with a user-friendly interface:

Easy configuration, commissioning, and diagnostics: remote graphic terminal (8 languages by default), multi-booter, PCSoft, and SoMove Mobile software, Bluetooth communication capability.
Compact dimensions for ease of installation.

Altivar Building frequency converters as well as Altivar Machine Drives contain an optimal list of protective functions:

Long service life.
Functions demanded by building management systems: fire control, damper control, machine protection, etc.
Built-in EMC filter.
Harmonic suppression technology (THDI ≈ 30%).
