Schneider ATV320U30M3C412 | Variable speed drive, Altivar Solar, 3.0kW, 200 to 240V, 3 phases, compact

The Schneider Altivar ATV320U30M3C412 is a compact variable speed drive (VSD) from the Altivar Solar series. It is designed for solar water pumping systems with a rated power of 3.0 kW and operates on a three-phase voltage of 200 to 240V.

Key Features and Benefits

This drive is optimized for efficient use of solar power for pumping applications. Its main feature is Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, which intelligently adjusts the motor’s speed to extract the maximum available power from the solar panels. This ensures that the pump operates at its most efficient point, providing a consistent water supply even with varying sunlight.

The drive has a space-saving “book” style design and includes an integrated C2 EMC filter. It is equipped with safety functions, including Safe Torque Off (STO), which prevents accidental motor startup. It also offers specific protections for pumping, such as dry-run protection, to prevent damage to the pump when the water source is depleted. The drive’s dual-supply capability allows it to operate from either a solar array or a conventional AC grid, ensuring reliable operation.

Primary Applications

The Schneider Altivar ATV320U30M3C412 is well-suited for a variety of medium-scale solar pumping applications, particularly in remote or off-grid locations. Its primary uses include:

Agricultural Irrigation: Providing water for farms and greenhouses.

Residential and Community Water Supply: Supplying water to homes and villages in off-grid areas.

Water Transfer: Filling large storage tanks and reservoirs.

Livestock Watering: Ensuring a reliable water source for animals in pastures.
