Schneider Electric ATV930C25N4C Altivar Process 900 Variable Speed Drive

Product Overview

The Schneider Electric ATV930C25N4C is a heavy-duty Variable Speed Drive (VSD) from the Altivar Process 900 series, designed for high-power industrial motor control. This unit is specifically engineered to handle massive loads, supporting three-phase synchronous and asynchronous motors up to 250 kW (400 HP). By focusing on “process-oriented” performance, the ATV930C25N4C provides the torque and precision necessary for mission-critical equipment such as large-scale crushers, industrial pumps, and complex conveyor systems.

Power Ratings and Operational Flexibility

The ATV930C25N4C is built to adapt to varying industrial demands through dual-rating capabilities:

• Normal Duty: Supports motors up to 250 kW (400 HP) with an allowable overload of 120% for 60 seconds.
• Heavy Duty: Supports motors up to 200 kW (300 HP) with a more robust overload capacity of 150% for 60 seconds.

Operated within a 380V to 480V AC range, the drive utilizes advanced motor control algorithms to ensure high dynamic performance. This is particularly effective in master/slave configurations, where multiple drives must coordinate perfectly to manage a single mechanical load, reducing mechanical stress and increasing the lifespan of the powertrain.

Intelligence and Connectivity

A core strength of the ATV930C25N4C is its role as an “Industrial Internet of Things” (IIoT) ready device. It features dual-port Ethernet for seamless integration into modern automation architectures via EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP. Because it contains a built-in web server, operators can access real-time diagnostics and energy consumption data from any standard browser without specialized software. Additionally, its network resilience ensures that the drive continues to operate safely even if the communication link to the main PLC is interrupted, providing a vital layer of protection for continuous process industries.

Industrial Applications and Sustainability

This drive is a preferred solution for sectors where downtime results in significant financial loss, including:

• Oil & Gas: Precision control for drilling and pumping.
• Mining: Handling high-torque start-ups for heavy conveyors and mills.
• Water Treatment: Optimizing energy use in large-scale fluid distribution.
• Food & Beverage: Coordinated motion control for high-speed processing lines.
