The Schneider Electric ATV340U40N4E Altivar Machine is a robust 4 kW variable speed drive, engineered for demanding industrial environments. Designed for three-phase 380–480 V supply, it delivers stable, efficient motor control — ideal for conveyor systems, pumps, packaging machines, material handling, and general industrial automation.
Compact yet powerful, the ATV340U40N4E combines advanced motor control, reliable heavy-duty construction, and flexible communication protocols (Ethernet/Modbus), making it a versatile choice for factories, workshops, and automated production lines. With integrated EMC filtering and multiple safety protections, it ensures compliance and longevity even under challenging conditions.
Key Features
- 4 kW output power (heavy-duty rating) — suitable for a wide range of industrial motors and loads.
- Three-phase 380–480 V AC supply — standard for industrial power systems.
- Integrated EMC filter (Class C3) — reduces electromagnetic interference and simplifies compliance.
- Embedded multi-protocol communication — EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU for seamless integration with PLCs, HMIs, or automation networks.
- Flexible motor type support — works with asynchronous and synchronous motors, open- or closed-loop control.
- Adjustable switching frequency (2–16 kHz) — enables optimization between performance and acoustic/EMI requirements.
- Comprehensive protection & safety — overload, overvoltage/undervoltage, phase-loss, over-temperature, short-circuit, and built-in Safe Torque Off (STO) functions.
- Heavy-duty, industrial-grade build — IP20 cabinet-mount design, suitable for harsh industrial conditions (vibration, dust, temperature up to 60 °C).
