Features:
- Serves as the power conversion and motor control interface for 160 kW three-phase industrial machinery
- Integrates high-power variable speed capability with built-in EMC filtering and reinforced thermal management
- Functions with the graphic terminal for complex machine automation system configuration and monitoring
The ATV71HC16N4 operates as the reinforced variable speed drive in the Altivar 71 range, specifically designed to handle complex, high-power machines requiring precise motor control up to 160 kW / 250 hp at 380...480 V three-phase supply. It continuously converts incoming AC power into regulated variable frequency output to support steady state operation of large industrial motors, drawing 233 A at 480 V or 289 A at 380 V for full rated output. This drive solves the challenge of controlling heavy-duty mechanical equipment in applications such as material handling systems, processing machinery, and large mechanical drives where high starting torque and dynamic speed adjustment are essential. Seamless motor control is standard with the ATV71HC16N4, and using its integrated control capabilities allows smooth acceleration profiles under significant mechanical loads. The ATV71HC16N4 has made improvements in several areas over previous drive designs in addition to incorporating universal input voltage capability and an integrated EMC filter within the reinforced version.
The ATV71HC16N4 provides essential motor control functions critical to the entire machine operation, and is a vital component of the automation path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall drive system. One ATV71HC16N4 drive is required per motor application depending on the desired control configuration. The ATV71HC16N4 occupies standard drive mounting dimensions in the enclosure and is always located with adequate clearance for the integrated heat sink assembly to ensure reliable thermal dissipation.
For demanding high-power machine applications, the control system requires the ATV71HC16N4 drive module installed with proper ventilation and three-phase power distribution. In addition to standard single motor operation, the reinforced configuration also performs under heavy mechanical load conditions. The ATV71HC16N4 drive system executes motor management using the internal power circuitry specified in the drive options. Using this method, the control system continually monitors the health of output current, thermal status, and voltage stability. If the system detects that the motor load is operating outside configured tolerance levels, it will automatically implement protective shutdown procedures and register an event in the system diagnostic log.
The ATV71HC16N4 Schneider Electric Variable Speed Drive may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
