Product Overview

The Schneider Electric ATV212HD22N4 is a high-efficiency variable speed drive (VSD) specifically optimized for the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) sector and fluid management. This 22 kW (30 HP) power converter is designed to drive three-phase asynchronous motors within a 380V to 480V supply range. As part of the Altivar 212 family, it focuses on reducing operational costs by eliminating the need for additional harmonic filters or line chokes, thanks to its specialized "reduced capacitance" technology. This unit provides a streamlined, space-saving solution for building automation systems that require precise motor regulation and significant energy savings.
