The Altivar 32 drive is a frequency inverter for 200 to 500 V three-phase asynchronous and synchronous motors rated from 0.18 to 15 kW. In combination with synchronous motors, Schneider Electric’s Altivar 32 variable speed drives offer optimized energy efficiency, and their high dynamic response optimizes application performance. The Altivar 32 variable speed drive is […]
Selecting contactors and circuit breakers for use with ATV32 Circuit breakers and/or contactors are frequently requested for use with Altivar 32 (ATV32) AC variable speed drives. The circuit breaker provides protection against accidental short-circuits, disconnection and, if necessary, provides isolation. The contactor controls and manages any protection functions. A contactor can be […]
Schneider Electric, announced two new Altivar Machine series drives (VSDs) for 2016. Two complementary models, the Altivar 320 and Altivar 340, lead the line-up of new drives dedicated to the needs of machine manufacturers. The new ranges are claimed to improve machine effectiveness while reducing total cost. Designated as OEM drives, the two […]
Energy efficiency in the public sector In decentralising services, government is moving more responsibility and decision making to Local Authorities. Budgets however do not necessarily follow, and more money must be raised locally. Given that governments are driving energy efficiency measures forward, one can imagine that the public sector must be […]
