ATV860C11N4 — Schneider Electric Altivar 860 Heavy Duty Drive
The Schneider Electric Altivar 860 is a heavy-duty variable speed drive covering 0.75 kW to 630 kW on 380–480 V three-phase supply, purpose-designed for applications requiring maximum overload capability, robust mechanical construction, and reliable operation under severe duty cycles. The ATV860 is rated for 200% overload for 2 seconds and 150% for 60 seconds — the highest overload rating in the Schneider Altivar product family — making it the correct drive for crane hoists, mine hoists, press feeders, and centrifuge applications where instantaneous load spikes far exceed steady-state current. The drive's reinforced power electronics and thermal management system are engineered specifically for the temperature cycling and load variation associated with cyclic heavy industrial duty.
The ATV860 incorporates four-quadrant operation with regenerative braking via an active front end option, enabling recovery of braking energy during hoist lowering and machine deceleration cycles. This regenerative capability is commercially significant in crane and hoist applications where it can recover 20–30% of total electrical energy consumption. The built-in crane and hoist control functions include anti-sway (load pendulum damping), load measurement, slack rope detection, and creep speed positioning — functions that previously required a separate crane automation controller. Integrated STO / SS1 / SS2 / SOS / SLS safety functions certified to SIL 3 / PLe satisfy the EN 14492-2 crane safety standard.
In Saudi Arabia, the ATV860 KSA serves the heavy industry sectors that are expanding rapidly under Vision 2030's industrial diversification strategy. Ma'aden's aluminium and steel complexes at Ras Al Khair use ATV860-driven overhead cranes, conveyor systems, and press equipment. ARAMCO's rig maintenance and heavy lifting facilities in Dhahran and Dammam operate ATV860-driven workshop cranes. Port crane operators at King Abdulaziz Port Dammam, King Fahd Industrial Port Jubail, and Jeddah Islamic Port specify ATV860 for portal and overhead cranes handling heavy industrial cargo.
Razz Middle East holds ATV860 stock in key ratings for critical industrial applications and provides emergency replacement supply with 4-hour RFQ response. Our engineers perform crane and hoist safety commissioning including SIL 3 function testing and EN 14492-2 documentation across all Saudi industrial regions.

Key Features & Benefits
- 200% overload for 2 seconds and 150% for 60 seconds — the highest in the Altivar family — handles instantaneous load spikes from crane grab operations, press feeders, and centrifuge basket loading without nuisance tripping.
- Built-in anti-sway (load pendulum damping) control function reduces crane load swing during traversal, improving operator safety and load positioning accuracy without external anti-sway controller hardware.
- Slack rope detection prevents hoist motor runaway when a suspended load is lowered onto a surface, stopping rope payout the instant rope tension drops below threshold and preventing dangerous rope fouling.
- Active front end regenerative option recovers 20–30% of electrical energy during hoist lowering and machine deceleration cycles, delivering significant operating cost savings in crane-intensive heavy industrial operations.
- STO, SS1, SS2, SOS, and SLS safety functions certified to SIL 3 / PLe satisfy EN 14492-2 crane safety standard requirements without a dedicated safety PLC module in the hoist control panel.
- Four-quadrant regenerative operation with built-in dynamic braking transistor option covers both energy-recovery and conventional resistor-braking applications within the same product family.
- Reinforced power electronics and dedicated thermal management for cyclic heavy-duty operation handle the continuous load variation and temperature cycling of crane and hoist duty without premature component failure.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Overhead crane hoist and travel drives at Ma'aden Aluminium Company smelter and rolling mill in Ras Al Khair, where anti-sway and load measurement functions improve operational efficiency in high-throughput production.
- Portal crane and ship-to-shore crane drives at King Fahd Industrial Port Jubail and King Abdulaziz Port Dammam, where 200% overload capacity handles the variable hook load of bulk cargo handling operations.
- Heavy industrial workshop overhead crane drives at Saudi Aramco rig maintenance facilities in Dhahran, where SIL 3 safety certification satisfies ARAMCO HSE crane safety requirements.
- Steel plant ladle crane and billet handling crane drives at Hadeed and Rajhi Steel facilities, where regenerative braking recovers significant energy during ladle lowering and load release cycles.
- Centrifuge drives at petroleum refinery and petrochemical catalyst regeneration facilities, where 200% instantaneous overload handles centrifuge basket loading transients without drive tripping.
- Mine hoist and skip drive systems at Ma'aden phosphate mining operations in Al Khali, where regenerative four-quadrant operation recovers braking energy during full-skip lowering.
- Press and forging machine flywheel drive and feeder drive applications at Saudi industrial machinery manufacturers, where high cyclic overload capability handles the extreme current peaks of press cycle loading.
