Description
Schneider ATV320U11M2C412 Altivar Solar | Variable speed drive, Altivar Solar, 1.1kW, 200 to 240V, 1 phase, compact
The Schneider Altivar ATV320U11M2C412 is a compact variable speed drive (VSD) specifically designed for solar water pumping systems. It is rated for a power output of 1.1 kW and operates on a single-phase voltage of 200 to 240V.
Key Features and Benefits
This drive is a solution for efficient and sustainable water management, particularly in remote areas. Its core technology is Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), which constantly adjusts the motor’s speed to extract the highest possible power from the solar panels. This ensures that the pump delivers maximum water output throughout the day, even under fluctuating solar conditions.
The drive features an integrated C2 EMC filter, reducing electromagnetic interference and ensuring stable operation. It comes in a space-saving “book” style form factor, making it easy to install in a control cabinet. For safety and protection, it includes built-in features such as Safe Torque Off (STO) to prevent unexpected startup, and dry-run protection which automatically stops the pump when the water source runs out, preventing damage. The drive also has the capability to operate on a dual power supply, allowing it to switch between solar power and an AC grid to ensure continuous operation.
Primary Applications
The Schneider Altivar ATV320U11M2C412 is well-suited for a variety of small to medium-sized solar pumping applications where a single-phase motor is used. Its main uses include:
Agricultural Irrigation: Providing water for small farms, vineyards, or greenhouses.
Residential Water Supply: Supplying water to homes or small communities in off-grid locations.
Water Transfer: Filling water storage tanks for later use in rural settings.
Livestock Watering: Ensuring a reliable water source for animals in remote pastures.
