Water and Wastewater: Pump stations, aeration blowers, and treatment process control
-
General Process Industries: Fan and pump applications requiring precise speed and torque regulation
Key Benefits
Important Notes
-
Enclosure Configuration: The product is supplied as IP21 / UL Type 1 for wall mounting. For panel mounting, the power parts are accessible from the bottom, making the product IP00. An IP21/UL Type 1 conformity kit (VW3A9704) is required separately for certain mounting configurations.
-
EMC Filter: This model does not include an integrated EMC filter as standard. An EMC plate option is available for compliance with EMC requirements.
-
Braking Resistor: The drive includes an integrated braking chopper, but the braking resistor itself is not included and must be specified separately if dynamic braking is required.
-
Derating: For continuous operation above the nominal switching frequency of 2.5 kHz, derating of the drive output current is required. Consult the derating curves.
-
Safety Function: The STO function is designed for emergency stopping and does not replace a full safety circuit. Proper safety system design and validation are required.
-
Firmware Updates: Latest firmware is available from Schneider Electric for enhanced features and performance improvements.
FAQ
Q1: What is the power rating of the ATV930D30M3?
A: The drive is rated at 30 kW (40 HP) for Normal Duty applications (up to 120% overload) and 22 kW (30 HP) for Heavy Duty applications (up to 150% overload).
Q2: What is the difference between Normal Duty and Heavy Duty ratings?
A: Normal Duty (ND) is for applications requiring slight overload (up to 120%), typically fans and pumps. Heavy Duty (HD) is for applications requiring significant overload (up to 150%), typically constant torque loads like conveyors and extruders.
Q3: What communication protocols are supported?
A: The drive features Modbus TCP, Modbus Serial, and EtherNet/IP as standard embedded protocols. Additional protocols including Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, EtherCAT, CANopen, and Ethernet Powerlink are available via option modules in Slot A.
Q4: Does this drive include a braking chopper?
A: Yes, the ATV930D30M3 includes an integrated braking chopper (braking unit) for controlled deceleration of high-inertia loads.
Q5: What is the enclosure protection rating?
A: The drive is rated IP21 conforming to IEC 61800-5-1 and IEC 60529, and UL Type 1 conforming to UL 508C.
Q6: Does the drive support safety functions?
A: Yes, the drive includes Safe Torque Off (STO) certified to SIL 3, which safely removes power from the motor without contactor switching.
Q7: What is the switching frequency range?
A: The nominal switching frequency is 2.5 kHz, with an adjustable range of 1 to 8 kHz. Operation above 2.5 kHz requires current derating.
Q8: What motor types can this drive control?
A: The drive controls both asynchronous motors (variable torque, optimized torque, constant torque profiles) and synchronous motors (permanent magnet and synchronous reluctance).
Q9: What is the operating temperature range?
A: The drive operates from -15°C to 50°C without derating, with options for operation up to 60°C, and can operate for 2 hours at 70°C under specific conditions.
Q10: What are the physical dimensions of the drive?
A: The drive measures approximately 290 mm (W) × 922 mm (H) × 325.5 mm (D) and weighs approximately 57.6 kg.
