Schneider Electric Altivar 12 Variable Speed Drive
The Schneider Electric Altivar 12 is a compact variable speed drive covering 0.18 kW to 4 kW with single-phase 200–240 V input, purpose-engineered for simple machinery, small pumps, and fans where cost-effective motor speed control is needed without complex parameter configuration. The ATV12 integrates a built-in EMC filter meeting Class A emission limits, a brake resistor connection terminal, and a simple 7-segment LED display for commissioning — all within a DIN-rail-mountable body as narrow as 45 mm for the smallest frame. Its preset speed function allows up to four fixed speeds via digital inputs, covering the majority of simple machine speed control requirements with no external PLC required.
Technically the ATV12 operates on scalar V/Hz control, delivering smooth acceleration and deceleration ramps adjustable from 0.1 to 999 seconds, with an integrated motor thermal protection model replacing the need for a separate overload relay in most circuits. The built-in braking resistor connection supports dynamic braking for loads that require fast stopping, such as centrifuges and small hoists. Operating ambient temperature reaches 50°C without derating, and the IP21 standard enclosure with optional IP41 or IP54 kit covers both indoor panel installations and moderately harsh industrial environments across Saudi Arabia's varied climate zones.
In Saudi Arabia, the Altivar 12 KSA serves the light manufacturing, food processing, and building services sectors across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. MODON industrial estate tenants running packaging lines, bottling machinery, and small conveyor systems routinely specify the ATV12 for its low purchase price combined with Schneider Electric's local technical support network. Vision 2030 SME manufacturing programmes are expanding the base of small Saudi OEMs who need reliable, affordable drives for export-quality machinery, and the ATV12 is a standard component in their panel designs.
Razz Middle East stocks Altivar 12 drives across the full 0.18–4 kW range in both single-phase input variants for immediate delivery to customers in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Al Khobar, Jubail, and Yanbu. Our team provides 4-hour RFQ response with SAR pricing and technical selection support for OEMs and panel builders integrating the ATV12 into new machine designs.

Key Features & Benefits
- Single-phase 200–240 V input allows connection to standard single-phase supply, eliminating the need for a three-phase supply infrastructure for small motor applications in workshops and light industrial units.
- Built-in Class A EMC filter meets EN 61800-3 emission requirements without an external filter component, simplifying CE-marked panel design for Saudi OEM machine builders.
- Four preset speed function via digital inputs provides multi-speed operation without an external PLC or separate speed controller, reducing system component count and wiring cost.
- Integrated motor thermal model protection with adjustable nominal current setting replaces the separate overload relay in most circuits, freeing DIN rail space in compact machine panels.
- Acceleration and deceleration ramps adjustable from 0.1 to 999 seconds cover both gentle conveyor starts and rapid tool-change stops within the same drive without hardware changes.
- IP21 standard with field-fit IP41 or IP54 protection kit allows the same drive unit to be used in clean indoor cabinets or moderately dusty Saudi industrial plant rooms.
- DIN-rail and panel-mount screw fixing options with 45 mm minimum width allow multiple drives to be installed side-by-side in space-constrained machine control cabinets.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Small conveyor and indexing drives in MODON industrial estate packaging and food processing facilities across Riyadh and Jeddah, where the ATV12's low cost per axis is essential for multi-drive machine economics.
- Single-phase pump speed control in building services plant rooms, irrigation skids, and water feature systems in Saudi commercial and hospitality developments.
- Fan speed control in ventilation units, exhaust systems, and industrial dryers at light manufacturing facilities operated by Saudi SMEs under Vision 2030 industrial development programmes.
- Textile and garment machinery auxiliary drives in Saudi clothing manufacturers, where simple preset-speed control matches feed roller and cutter speeds without complex programming.
- Small hoist and lifting equipment drives in workshop and maintenance facilities, where the brake resistor connection enables controlled load lowering without a separate braking module.
- Dosing and metering pump drives in water treatment skids and chemical injection systems, where the built-in PID analogue input allows closed-loop flow control from a 4–20 mA sensor.
- Retrofit speed control for legacy fixed-speed single-phase motor applications in commercial kitchens, laundry equipment, and catering machinery across Saudi hospitality projects.
