Altivar Lift drives have been designed in close collaboration with lift manufacturers, installers and maintenance engineers to offer very specific characteristics.  They incorporate the wealth of expertise acquired by Schneider Electric over the years in other applications, machines and processes where drive quality is paramount.

They feature many application-specific functions such as Power Removal and the angle test for synchronous motors which are unique to lifts.  Safety functions ensure safe and comfortable operation for users, as well as providing protection for both users and lift equipment in the event of a fault.

Variable speed drives for synchronous and asynchronous motors (with or without encoder)

– 200/240 V range – 27 A to 66 A
– 380/480 V range – 10 A to 48 A
