ATV212HD22N4 Variable Frequency Drive Altivar 212 22.0kW 3-ф/380

ATV212HD22N4: Schneider Electric Altivar 212 variable frequency drive rated at 22 kW (3-phase 380 V input, 3-phase 380 V output). We use it for an industrial pump, fan, or compressor package when the project needs Altivar diagnostics and a predictable automation path.

• Parameters: 43.5 A output current, IP20, 110-130% overload, maximum frequency 200 Hz.
• What matters: The series is built for HVAC: pumps, fans, BMS integration, energy monitoring, and sleep/wake scenarios.
• Check before use: Before commissioning, check motor current, load type, cable length, and the control method.

Schneider Electric Altivar 212: where this series fits

Altivar 212 is a HVAC series for pumps, fans, and compressors in buildings. Our catalog currently has 33 active items in this series: 0.7-75 kW, supply variants 3-phase 380 V, IP20 enclosures, EMC filter: yes. Schneider Electric is not the cheapest route. The usual reason is simpler: Altivar diagnostics, SoMove, documentation, and a predictable cabinet startup.

Typical jobs for Altivar 212

• Common mechanisms: ventilation, air conditioning, circulation pumps, smoke extraction, and BMS integration.
• Selection: first check motor current, load duty, supply voltage, IP rating, and motor cable length.
• Commissioning: with Altivar, define the command source, speed reference, network protocol, and braking need before wiring.

When Altivar 212 is not the right drive

We do not recommend Altivar 212 for a heavy conveyor, crane, or crusher with constant-torque demand. In those jobs, another Schneider Electric series may be more logical, or INVT / Veichi may be enough when the project does not specifically require Altivar.

Our field note

Schneider Electric is usually chosen for sites with BMS, SCADA, or an older Altivar already in the cabinet. Predictability matters there. Before ordering we ask for a motor nameplate photo and a short mechanism description. That filters out 220/380 V, IP, and braking mistakes early.
