ATV930D18N4 Variable Frequency Drive Altivar 930 18.5kW 3-ф/380

ATV930D18N4: Schneider Electric Altivar 930 variable frequency drive rated at 18.5 kW (3-phase 380 V input, 3-phase 380 V output). We use it for a dynamic conveyor, extruder, or machine with sharp load changes when the project needs Altivar diagnostics and a predictable automation path.

• Parameters: 39,2 A output current, IP21, 110-130% overload, maximum frequency 500 Hz.
• What matters: This is the ATV900 line for heavier mechanics: high torque, braking, encoder options, and network options.
• Check before use: Before commissioning, check motor current, load type, cable length, and the control method.

Schneider Electric Altivar 930: where this series fits

Altivar 930 is an Altivar Process ATV900 in wall-mounted IP21 format for heavy industrial mechanisms. Our catalog currently has 16 active items in this series: 0.7-75 kW, supply variants 3-phase 380 V, IP21 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 930

• Common mechanisms: conveyors, cranes, mills, crushers, extruders, and drives with sharp load changes.
• 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 930 is not the right drive

We do not recommend Altivar 930 for a regular pump or fan where ATV630/650 is the more logical choice. 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.
