Description
Schneider ATV320U04N4C412 | Variable speed drive, Altivar Solar, 0.37kW, 380 to 500V, 3 phases, compact
Product Description
The Schneider ATV320U04N4C412 is a compact variable speed drive (VSD) from the Altivar Solar series, specifically engineered for solar-powered pump applications. It controls the speed of a 3-phase asynchronous or synchronous motor by adjusting the frequency and voltage of the power supply. The drive is designed to operate directly from DC power generated by solar panels without the need for an AC grid connection.
Specifications
This VSD is rated for a power output of 0.37 kW and operates on a three-phase voltage range of 380 to 500 V. It features an integrated Modbus RTU communication protocol and a robust design for industrial environments. Its compact size makes it ideal for installation in small cabinets.
Key Features and Benefits
Solar Power Optimization: The drive includes an integrated MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm to maximize energy extraction from solar panels, ensuring the pump operates at peak efficiency even under varying sunlight conditions.
Grid Independence: It allows for the operation of pumps in remote locations where a reliable AC power supply is unavailable.
Motor Protection: Provides essential protection for the motor against overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, and phase loss, extending the motor’s lifespan.
Ease of Use: Features a simple interface for setup and control, and can be configured using specialized software for more advanced functions.
Applications
The ATV320U04N4C412 is primarily used in solar water pumping systems for a variety of applications, including:
Agriculture and irrigation systems
Water supply for remote villages and homes
Livestock watering
Groundwater pumping
