Particularly suited for retrofitting the Altivar 31C comes ready for wall mounting.  The IP55 housing means the drive can be installed outdoors and adjacent to the motor or application if required.

Altivar 31C is designed for simple industrial machines (material handling and packaging, textile machines, special machines, pumps and fans). The IP55 enclosed ATV 31C range offers a rugged design, compact size, integrated functions and highly customisable drive to suit a wide range of requirements.

The Altivar 31C is a frequency inverter drive for three-phase 200~500 V asynchronous motors rated from 0.18 kW to 15 kW.   Up to 4 kW the enclosure is made from moulded plastic.  From 5.5kW to 15 kW it is constructed from steel.

Customisable enclosed drive (0.18 kW to 4 kW)

This range allows full customisation of the human-machine interface part of the enclosure, and the drive includes:

1: A drive with external heat-sink
