The Schneider Altivar ATV320D15M3C412 is a compact variable speed drive (VSD) from the Altivar Solar series. It is designed for efficient and reliable operation of solar water pumping systems. The drive has a rated power of 15 kW and operates on a three-phase voltage of 200 to 240V.
Key Features and Benefits
This VSD is optimized to maximize the performance of a solar-powered pump. Its main feature is Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), which continuously adjusts the motor’s speed to extract the highest possible power from the solar panels. This ensures that the pump operates at peak efficiency, delivering maximum water output even under varying sunlight conditions.
The drive has a space-saving, book-style form factor 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, which automatically shuts off the pump when the water source runs dry, preventing damage. 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 ATV320D15M3C412 is a reliable solution for various medium to large-scale solar pumping needs, particularly in remote or off-grid areas. Its primary applications include:
Agricultural Irrigation: Providing water for farms and large greenhouses.
Community Water Supply: Supplying water to villages and rural communities.
Water Transfer: Pumping water for filling large tanks and reservoirs.
Livestock Watering: Ensuring a consistent water source for animals in pastures.
