ATV930C16N4C: A Field-Proven Drive for Evolving Process Demands
For decades, oil and gas operators have faced a familiar challenge: process loads grow, but the electrical infrastructure around them rarely keeps pace. The ATV930C16N4C variable speed drive from Schneider Electric answers that challenge with a dual-rated design that delivers 160 kW (250 HP) in normal duty and 132 kW (200 HP) in heavy duty from a 380...480 V three-phase supply.
As a member of the Altivar Process ATV930 series, this IP00 cabinet-mounting drive is built for demanding environments where reliability is not optional. It combines rugged power electronics with integrated safety and modern communication in a single package.
Key Features and Technical Specifications
- Dual ND/HD rating: 160 kW normal duty with 120% overload for 60 s, or 132 kW heavy duty with 150% overload for 60 s.
- Input voltage: 380...480 V three-phase (-15%/+10%), 50/60 Hz, with 284 A maximum input current at 380 V in ND.
- Output current: 302 A continuous in ND, 250 A continuous in HD, at nominal switching frequency.
- Operating temperature: 0 to +40 °C standard, with derating from 40 to 50 °C for the IP00 cabinet version.
- Integrated safety: 1 STO function rated SIL3 / Cat. PL e per IEC 61508 and ISO 13849-1.
- Communication: Built-in EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP dual-port switch, plus a Modbus serial port.
- I/O: 8 digital inputs, 3 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 3 relay outputs.
- EMC filter: Category C3 integrated filter per catalog footnote (6).
- Power dissipation: 3812 W total in ND, 3001 W total in HD at nominal load.
This unit is a cabinet-mounted drive, so thermal management is critical. It requires a minimum air flow of 600 m3/h and installation clearance of 250 mm above and below plus 100 mm in front. These figures come directly from the installation manual NHA80932.
Why Operating Temperature and Power Supply Matter in Oil & Gas
In upstream and midstream applications, drives often sit inside enclosures where ambient temperatures can climb. This unit handles 0 to +40 °C without derating, and it can operate up to 50 °C with current derating. This flexibility lets engineers specify a single drive for multiple climate conditions.
Equally important is the input voltage tolerance. The 380...480 V three-phase supply range accommodates the voltage variations common on offshore platforms and remote well sites. Additionally, the drive is certified to SEMI F47-0706, which supports ride-through during voltage sags.
Installation and Setup Guidance
Because This unit is an IP00 drive, it must be mounted inside a suitable electrical enclosure. A conformity kit is available for IP21 or UL Type 1 wall mounting if needed. The drive weighs 82 kg and measures 852 x 320 x 393 mm, so plan for adequate lifting equipment and panel space.
Terminal tightening torque is 27 N·m for main power terminals and 13.5 N·m for control terminals. Always follow the installation manual for wiring and configuration. The drive includes an integrated EMC filter, but installers should verify that the filter meets site requirements.
Integration with Control Systems
The built-in Ethernet dual-port switch supports EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP, allowing daisy-chain topologies that reduce cabling. A separate Modbus serial port is also available. For other fieldbuses, one option slot accepts modules for PROFINET, PROFIBUS DP V1, CANopen, DeviceNet, EtherCAT, or POWERLINK.
Integration Note: Wiring into these networks may require an external gateway or connection module. Confirm cables and gateways with the supplier before commissioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the motor power rating of This unit?
This unit is dual-rated: 160 kW (250 HP) in normal duty with 120% overload for 60 s, and 132 kW (200 HP) in heavy duty with 150% overload for 60 s.
Does This unit include a braking unit?
No. This unit does not include a built-in braking unit. An external braking unit is required for braking applications.
What is the operating temperature range of This unit?
The drive operates from 0 to +40 °C without derating. From 40 to 50 °C, derating applies per catalog p.17 for the IP00 cabinet version.
Can This unit be mounted outside a cabinet?
The standard enclosure is IP00, designed for cabinet mounting. A conformity kit is required for IP21 or UL Type 1 wall mounting.
What input voltage does This unit accept?
It accepts 380...480 V three-phase (-15%/+10%) at 50/60 Hz, with a maximum input current of 284 A at 380 V in normal duty.
