The Schneider Electric ATV61HD22N4Z is a high-performance variable frequency drive (VFD) from the Altivar 61 series. This series was specifically engineered for variable torque applications, making it a legacy standard for controlling pumps and fans in building management and industrial processes.
The "Z" suffix typically denotes a version supplied without the DC choke, often used in specific cabinet-build configurations.
| Category | Specification |
| Manufacturer | Schneider Electric |
| Series | Altivar 61 (ATV61) |
| Motor Power | 22 kW / 30 hp |
| Input Voltage | 380 to 480 V AC (3-phase) |
| Continuous Current | 48 A (at 4 kHz / 400 V) |
| Max Transient Current | 52.8 A (for 60 seconds) |
| Output Frequency | 0.1 to 500 Hz |
| Protection Rating | IP20 (Open Style) |
Control Laws: Scalar ($V/f$), Flux Vector Control (Sensorless), and specialized Energy Saving ratios.
Integrated Ports: Modbus and CANopen.
Option Slots: Supports communication cards (Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet) and I/O extension cards.
Energy Optimization: Includes a specific law to reduce motor losses by up to 30% under low-load conditions.
Pump/Fan Logic: Features integrated "Catch on the Fly" (restarting a spinning fan), sleep/wake modes, and multi-pump control (with card).
Safety Integration: Provides Safe Torque Off (PWR) terminal to prevent accidental motor starts.
Customization: Macros for specialized functions like "Pumping," "Ventilation," or "General Use" simplify the initial setup.
Mounting: Designed for vertical mounting in an electrical enclosure. Because it is an IP20 unit, it must be protected from dust and moisture.
Heat Dissipation: The unit generates approximately 685 W of heat at full load. Ensure the cabinet fan capacity is sufficient to keep the ambient temperature below $50^\circ C$.
DC Choke: Note that the "Z" version may require an external line reactor or DC choke to comply with harmonic distortion limits, depending on your local grid requirements.
Cable Selection: Use shielded motor cables to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI). Keep control wiring and power wiring in separate conduits.
Can I use this drive for a conveyor or crane?
While possible, it is not recommended. The ATV61 is optimized for Variable Torque (pumps/fans). For constant torque applications like conveyors or hoists, the Altivar 71 (ATV71) or the newer ATV930 series is more appropriate.
What is the replacement model for the ATV61?
The Altivar 61 series is now largely superseded by the Altivar Process ATV630. The ATV630 offers superior energy monitoring and embedded Ethernet as standard.
How do I clear a "PLF" (Phase Loss) fault?
Check the input power supply for a dropped phase. If the input is fine, inspect the DC bus connections. If you are running the motor on a test bench without a load, you may need to disable the "Output Phase Loss" check in the fault management menu.
Does it support PID control?
Yes. The ATV61 has a built-in PID regulator for pressure or flow control, allowing it to adjust motor speed based on a feedback signal from a 4-20mA or 0-10V sensor.
