Description
About the ATV320U04M2C
About the ATV320U04M2C
The Schneider Electric ATV320U04M2C is a compact variable speed drive from the Altivar 320 series, rated at 0.37 kW for single-phase 200–240 V AC supply with a rated output current of 3.3 A. Designed for straightforward machine integration, the ATV320U04M2C delivers precise frequency inverter control, smooth torque regulation, and measurable energy savings in a space-efficient compact form factor suited to OEM and panel-building applications.
Applications & Use Cases
- Conveyor & Material Handling: Smooth variable frequency drive control reduces mechanical stress and extends motor life on belt conveyors and transfer systems.
- Pumping & HVAC: Energy-saving speed regulation matches pump and fan output to real demand, cutting electricity consumption significantly.
- Packaging Machines: Precise torque control and fast dynamic response make the ATV320U04M2C ideal for pick-and-place, wrapping, and filling machine axes.
- Compressors & Mixers: Soft-start capability via the VSD eliminates current spikes, protecting upstream electrical infrastructure.
- OEM Machine Building: Compact dimensions and single-phase input simplify panel layout in space-constrained machine enclosures.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What motor power does the ATV320U04M2C support? The drive is rated for motors up to 0.37 kW on a single-phase 200–240 V AC supply.
- Is this drive suitable for three-phase supply? No — the ATV320U04M2C is specifically designed for single-phase input; for three-phase applications, select the corresponding ATV320 three-phase variant.
- What is the rated output current? The rated output current is 3.3 A.
- What does the 'C' suffix in ATV320U04M2C indicate? The 'C' suffix denotes the compact book-style form factor optimised for side-by-side panel mounting.
