The Schneider Altivar ATV320D15N4C412 is a compact variable speed drive (VSD) within the Altivar Solar range, engineered specifically for solar-powered pumping systems.It is a robust and efficient solution for controlling asynchronous and synchronous motors, with a rated power of 15 kW. It operates on a three-phase voltage supply from 380 to 500V.
Key Features and Benefits
This drive is designed to optimize the performance of solar pump applications.Its standout feature is the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, which intelligently adjusts the motor’s speed to draw the maximum possible power from the connected solar panels throughout the day, even under varying sunlight conditions. This ensures continuous and efficient water pumping.
The drive can be powered directly from a DC solar panel array or an external AC grid, offering flexible and reliable operation.It incorporates advanced protection and safety features, including Safe Torque Off (STO) and Safe Stop 1 (SS1), which prevent unexpected motor startup and enhance machine safety.It also has built-in functions for pump-specific protection, such as dry-run protection to prevent damage when the water source runs dry.
With its compact, book-style form factor and an IP20 rating, it is suitable for installation in control cabinets.It also supports multiple communication protocols, like Modbus and CANopen, for seamless integration into industrial automation systems.
Primary Applications
The Schneider Altivar ATV320D15N4C412 is primarily used in solar water pumping systems for a variety of applications where grid power is either unavailable, unreliable, or too expensive. Its main uses include:
Agricultural Irrigation: Powering pumps for drip, sprinkler, and flood irrigation systems.
Livestock Watering: Ensuring a consistent water supply for animals in remote pastures.
Rural and Off-grid Water Supply: Providing a sustainable and cost-effective solution for drinking water in remote villages.
Water Management: Used in systems for filling water storage tanks and other water transfer applications.
