Schneider Electric ATV71HU22M3Z Altivar Variable Speed Drives

Razz Middle East supplies Schneider Electric Altivar variable speed drives across Saudi Arabia — the ATV range covering machine, process, pumping and HVAC duty from fractional kilowatt units to large process drives. Every drive is sourced to order against the reference you quote and delivered duty-paid to your site. Typical lead time is three weeks from order confirmation.

About Altivar Variable Speed Drives

The ATV reference is highly structured and every field in it matters. The number after ATV gives the range and generation — ATV12 and ATV312 are compact machine drives, ATV320 the machine range that replaced them, ATV61 and ATV71 the older process and high-torque programmes, ATV212 an HVAC-focused drive, and ATV600 and ATV900 the current process and high-performance families. What follows encodes the power rating, the supply voltage and phase, and the enclosure or option build.

Reading it correctly matters because two fields are easy to misjudge. Supply voltage and phase are inside the reference: a single-phase 230 V drive and a three-phase 400 V drive of the same power are different references and are not interchangeable. And the power rating in the reference is the drive's rating, which must be selected against the motor's full-load current rather than its nameplate kilowatts — a motor with a high service factor or an unusual power factor can need a larger drive than the kilowatt figure suggests. Braking resistors, filters and option cards are separate references matched to the drive, not chosen independently.

Altivar Variable Speed Drives in Saudi Arabia

Drives are where Saudi ambient conditions cost the most money, because a drive is the most temperature-sensitive item in a typical panel. Altivar ratings are quoted at a reference ambient, and a drive installed in an unconditioned plant room or an outdoor kiosk at 50 °C must be derated or actively cooled. Ignoring that produces a drive that runs for a season and then trips on over-temperature every afternoon, which sites often misdiagnose as a drive fault.

The applications are everywhere in the Kingdom: water and wastewater pumping, HVAC fans and chilled water pumps in commercial buildings, conveyors and mills at cement works, and packaging lines in food and beverage. Cable length between drive and motor is a recurring constraint on utility sites, where a drive room can be a long run from the pump house — long unshielded runs cause bearing currents and radiated interference, so shielded cable and an output filter are engineering requirements rather than options. Dust is the other factor: drive heatsinks and cooling fans clog, and a filtered enclosure with a maintenance schedule outlasts an unfiltered one by years.

Ordering and lead time

Quote the complete ATV reference from the drive label. If you are replacing a failed unit, send a photograph of the label rather than transcribing it — the reference is long and a single transposed character selects a different voltage or power.

If you are specifying a new drive, give us the motor's full-load current and voltage, the supply voltage and phase, and the application — pump, fan, conveyor, or constant-torque machine duty — because the duty affects the selection as much as the power does. Tell us the ambient temperature where the drive will sit; if it is above 40 °C we will raise derating before you order rather than after the first hot afternoon. Say whether you need a braking resistor, a filter or an option card, and if you are replacing an obsolete ATV31, ATV61 or ATV71 we will tell you the current equivalent and what differs in wiring, dimensions and parameter set — those replacements are rarely drop-in. Typical lead time is three weeks from order confirmation.

Specifications are taken from the supplier's published catalogue data. Confirm against the manufacturer's current datasheet before ordering.
