ATV61H075M3 - Speed drive - SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC

SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC frequency drive ATV61H075M3 – Altivar 61

The frequency drive reference ATV61H075M3 belongs to the Altivar 61 range from SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC. Designed for energy management and motor speed control in industrial utilities, it is primarily aimed at ventilation and pumping applications where process stability and service continuity are critical. With a rated power of 0.75 kW (1 HP), a 240 V single-phase or three-phase supply and an integrated EMC filter, this model is intended for panel mounting, IP20, in environments controlled by programmable logic controllers and digital control systems. The output frequency range of 0.1 to 599 Hz and the nominal switching frequency of 4 kHz, adjustable from 1 to 16 kHz, allow fine tuning of motor behavior to process requirements while limiting electromagnetic disturbances thanks to the onboard filtering. Compatibility with synchronous and asynchronous motors makes it easy to replace older drives and standardize your fleet.

Overview of the Altivar 61 range

The Altivar 61 series is dedicated to variable speed drives oriented to HVAC and utilities, focusing on energy efficiency, reduced mechanical stress and reliability of auxiliary services. Widely deployed in industrial buildings, food processing, water and environmental sectors, this range covers a broad spectrum of power ratings and supply configurations to adapt to existing networks. Core features for speed control, management of acceleration and deceleration ramps, and integrated EMC filtering aim to limit interference within automation architectures. Compatibility with synchronous and asynchronous motors ensures operational continuity during replacements without major changes to machines. In contexts where a PLC manages control, the Altivar 61 integrates in a standard way via its inputs and outputs, and, depending on installed options, through dedicated communication cards. This approach secures gradual modernization of installations while maintaining a rational maintenance strategy.

Industrial applications

This SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC frequency drive fits into many industrial environments where air or fluid flow control is a major performance lever:

• Industrial ventilation: control of single- or multi-speed fans for processes, extraction and cooling
• Pumping: speed control for centrifugal pumps, booster systems and process water circuits
• Air treatment: AHUs, cooling towers, duct networks managed by PLCs
• Utility services: auxiliary loops of production units requiring fine speed adjustment
• Low-dynamic material handling: conveyors where speed regulation is prioritized over torque precision

In these uses, the ability to cover a wide frequency range and to adjust the switching frequency according to cabinet constraints and acoustic requirements is an asset for commissioning and overall EMC compliance of the installation.

Integration and communication

The ATV61H075M3 model is designed for panel mounting IP20. The provided wiring terminations ease connection to the PLC I/Os and power devices. The presence of an integrated EMC filter helps control conducted and radiated disturbances within good wiring, shielding and grounding practices. The 0.1 to 599 Hz range covers common speed control needs for ventilation and pumping. The switching frequency adjustable from 1 to 16 kHz provides useful parameter space to balance heating, motor tolerance and cabinet acoustic constraints. Both synchronous and asynchronous motors are supported, facilitating reuse of existing equipment during a drive migration. Depending on selected options in the range, integration into a control network can be achieved via dedicated communication cards, with exact references to be confirmed in the Altivar 61 documentation or through our technical support.

In architectures combining numerical control and PLC, the Altivar 61 acts as a variable speed drive ensuring energy conversion and setpoint regulation coming from the automation. This clear separation of control and power functions simplifies maintenance, troubleshooting and compliance of electrotechnical assemblies.
