Information About ATV61HD18M3X

The ATV61HD18M3X is a variable speed drive from the Altivar 61 series, designed to deliver precise motor control and energy efficiency for a wide range of industrial applications. With a power capacity of 25 HP, this drive is engineered to control 3-phase motors, making it suitable for tasks that require reliable, adjustable motor speed control, such as HVAC systems, pumps, and conveyor systems. Its capabilities make it a critical component in industrial environments where variable motor speeds are essential for optimizing energy usage, equipment lifespan, and process flexibility.

Operating within a voltage range of 200-240 V AC and supporting both 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies, the ATV61HD18M3X provides the versatility needed for global applications. This dual-frequency compatibility allows the drive to function seamlessly in regions with differing power standards, facilitating integration across diverse installations and making it a practical choice for facilities requiring adaptable motor control solutions. This voltage and frequency range ensures that the drive can maintain consistent, reliable performance in applications where fluctuations or load changes might otherwise cause instability.

The ATV61HD18M3X’s variable speed control capabilities allow operators to adjust motor speeds to meet specific operational requirements precisely. This adjustability improves overall process control, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes wear on mechanical components, especially in systems where fixed speeds are not optimal for efficiency or performance. By modulating motor speed in response to load demands, the drive enhances system efficiency, allowing operators to achieve significant energy savings over time and contributing to lower operational costs.

An IP20 protection rating ensures that the ATV61HD18M3X is suitable for indoor environments where protection against solid objects over 12 mm in size, such as tools or thick wires, is sufficient. This rating indicates the drive is appropriate for control panels and enclosed spaces where environmental protection is not a primary concern. IP20-rated drives are commonly used in clean, climate-controlled industrial settings, where dust, moisture, and other environmental factors are controlled to prevent performance degradation.

The Altivar 61 series, known for its energy-saving features and robust control options, includes multiple functionalities that enhance the ATV61HD18M3X’s performance in process-oriented applications. These include optimized control modes that improve motor efficiency, customizable acceleration and deceleration profiles for smooth speed transitions, and built-in protection features that guard against overloads and other electrical faults. The series is designed to offer high reliability and performance consistency, making the ATV61HD18M3X a suitable solution for critical processes requiring steady operation and low maintenance demands.
