Information About ATV31HU40M3X

The ATV31HU40M3X is a 4 kW drive in the Altivar 31 series, designed for precise motor control in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Its 5 HP output provides effective management of 3-phase motor systems, ensuring efficient performance and fine-tuned speed adjustments to meet the needs of specific applications. Engineered for compatibility with 208-240 VAC input voltage, the drive supports both 50 Hz and 60 Hz input frequencies, enhancing versatility in global settings and ensuring seamless integration with diverse power supplies. Operating at a maximum current of 17.5 A, the ATV31HU40M3X offers the capability to support demanding motor loads while maintaining stability and efficiency within rated power parameters.

A key feature of the ATV31HU40M3X is its broad output frequency range, adjustable from 0.5 Hz to 500 Hz. This extensive frequency range provides flexible control over motor speed, allowing it to be tailored precisely to various application requirements. The capacity for low-frequency operation supports applications needing slow, precise movements, while the upper frequency limit of 500 Hz enables high-speed operations when required. This adaptability in frequency output enhances the drive's suitability for applications with diverse operational requirements, including conveyors, pumps, fans, and other systems where precise speed control is essential.

The cooling design of the ATV31HU40M3X utilizes a heat sink to maintain optimal thermal performance and protect internal components from overheating. This passive cooling solution enhances the drive’s durability by efficiently dissipating heat generated during operation, thus reducing the risk of temperature-related failures. The heat sink cooling system is particularly beneficial in high-demand settings where the drive may be required to operate continuously or at high loads. By effectively managing heat, the ATV31HU40M3X provides stable performance, contributing to extended service life and reduced maintenance needs.

The IP20 enclosure protection rating ensures that the ATV31HU40M3X is suitable for installation in controlled environments where protection against larger solid particles, such as fingers and tools, is necessary. This rating, however, specifies limited protection against dust and no protection against water, making it most appropriate for indoor environments or enclosed control panels where exposure to harsh environmental conditions is minimized. The IP20 rating aligns with typical requirements for industrial control cabinets, allowing this drive to be integrated easily into standard electrical enclosures without additional protective measures.
