Schneider Electric ATV212HD15N4 ATV212 15 kW HVAC Drive 480 V

Lifecycle note for the ATV212HD15N4

The datasheet of the ATV212HD15N4 carries the notices “Discontinued on: 8 Jun 2026” and “To be discontinued”. This page therefore describes a drive that the manufacturer has withdrawn. Seven Star LLC can only say what is obtainable once you send the enquiry, and a project that needs a long service life should ask about a current alternative.

ATV212HD15N4: 15 kW / 20 hp Altivar 212 HVAC drive

The ATV212HD15N4 is a Schneider Electric Altivar 212 variable speed drive, listed in its datasheet as: variable speed drive ATV212 – 15kW – 20hp – 480V – 3ph – EMC – IP21. The Altivar 212 range is specified for pumps and fans in HVAC and building services, and this reference is a 15 kW (20 hp) drive for big HVAC pumps and fans drawing about 30 A, on the 245 x 330 x 190 mm body. Seven Star LLC supplies the ATV212HD15N4 in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier in Muscat.

Reading the reference: ATV212 is the range named in the datasheet, and the title gives the rest, namely 15 kW, 20 hp, 480 V, three-phase, EMC filter and IP21. Use the figures in the table below rather than decoding the letters, because the datasheet does not publish a decoding key.

ATV212HD15N4 datasheet values at a glance

Output current, overload and control of the ATV212HD15N4

At 15 kW the ATV212HD15N4 lists a line current of 22.8 A at 480 V; 28.5 A at 380 V and an apparent power of 23.2 kVA at 380 V. The continuous output current is 30.5 A at 380 V; 30.5 A at 460 V with a transient of 33.6 A for 60 s, so the motor nameplate current must stay below 30.5 A if the drive is to carry it continuously; the transient figure only covers short overload.

Output frequency runs from 0.5 to 200 Hz with a speed range of 1 to 10. The motor control profiles include voltage/frequency ratio (2 points, 5 points, automatic IR compensation), an energy-saving quadratic U/f profile for fans and pumps, and sensorless flux vector control. Transient overtorque is 120 % of nominal motor torque for 60 s, and ramps are adjustable from 0.01 to 3200 s or automatic according to the load.

The line short-circuit rating is listed as 22 kA. Treat it as a design input for the supply side and compare it with the fault level of the board that feeds the drive.

I/O and building-automation links on the ATV212HD15N4

The control board offers two analogue inputs (VIA and VIB), three programmable discrete inputs (F, R, RES) on 24 V DC, one analogue output (FM) and two relay outputs. VIA accepts 0 to 10 V or 0 to 20 mA, and VIB can be configured for 0 to 10 V or for a PTC probe input with up to six probes. The relay outputs switch 5 A at 250 V AC on a resistive load and 2 A inductive.

Communication is built in: 2-wire RS 485 with Modbus RTU at 9600 or 19200 bps, addresses 1 to 247, on an open terminal and an RJ45 connector. The datasheet lists METASYS N2, APOGEE FLN, LonWorks and BACnet among the protocols, with an option card for LonWorks. This is why the ATV212HD15N4 fits into building-management systems without a gateway in many cases; confirm the protocol you need against the datasheet and the option card list.

Heat loss and cooling of the ATV212HD15N4

The datasheet gives a power dissipation of 625 W and an air flow of 206 m3/h for the ATV212HD15N4, with a noise level of 54 dB. Use these two numbers when you size the enclosure: the dissipation is the heat that has to leave the panel, and the air flow is the volume the drive fan moves.

The operating range is -10 to 40 °C (without derating); 40 to 50 °C (with derating factor), so in a hot switchroom the derating factor above 40 °C is not a footnote but a design condition. The datasheet gives the operating position as vertical within 10 degrees. It has 25 mm² (3 AWG) power terminals at 4.5 N.m and the datasheet lists a noise level of 54 dB, a step up from 51 dB on the smaller bodies.

Where the ATV212HD15N4 is applied in Oman and the GCC

Across Oman and the GCC, air-conditioning load dominates summer electricity demand, so HVAC fans and pumps are among the most valuable motors to put on a drive. The ATV212HD15N4 suits chilled-water and condenser pumps, AHU supply and extract fans and cooling-tower fans on buildings, hospitals, malls and utility plants.

The energy-saving U/f profile and the PI regulator listed in the datasheet allow pressure or temperature loops to be closed inside the drive. In dusty or very hot sites, keep filters and heat-sink fins clean, because the thermal limit of the drive is reached before the motor shows any distress.

Selection checklist for the ATV212HD15N4

• Motor nameplate current at or below 30.5 A, at 380 to 480 V three-phase.
• Application: pump or fan with a quadratic torque curve, as the HVAC profile assumes.
• Supply: 380 to 480 V -15/+10 %, 50 or 60 Hz; check the line short-circuit level against the Isc figure.
• Enclosure: heat loss of 625 W and air flow of 206 m3/h.
• Building-automation protocol required: Modbus, BACnet, METASYS N2, APOGEE FLN or LonWorks (option card).
• Lifecycle status accepted, as the datasheet marks the reference discontinued.
