Schneider Electric ATV212HU15N4 1.5 kW HVAC Drive 480 V
Description
ATV212HU15N4: a 1.5 kW Altivar 212 drive for fans and pumps
The ATV212HU15N4 is a Schneider Electric variable speed drive listed in the datasheet as: variable speed drive, Altivar 212, 1.5kW, 2hp, 480V, 3 phases, with EMC, IP21. The Altivar 212 line is the HVAC and building-services drive of the family, tuned for centrifugal fans and pumps where torque falls with speed. This 1.5 kW unit is the smallest practical size for a single exhaust fan, a circulation pump or a small booster set. Seven Star LLC supplies the ATV212HU15N4 in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier based in Muscat.
Reading the reference: ATV212 is the range, the H and U15 part carries the form factor and the 1.5 kW rating, and N4 marks the 400/480 V three-phase supply class. The datasheet title confirms 1.5 kW, 2 hp, 480 V, 3 phases, so use the title and the ordering table together when you confirm a replacement.

Motor, supply and output ratings of the ATV212HU15N4
The rated motor power is stated as 1.5 kW. Continuous output current figures: 3.7 A 380 V; 3.7 A 460 V. The supply voltage range is 380 to 480 V (tolerance -15 % / +10 %). Phase information from the datasheet: 3 phase.
Overload capability: 4 A 60 s. Motor control profiles: Voltage/frequency ratio – Energy Saving, quadratic U/f. Speed range: 1 to 10. Switching frequency: 6 to 16 kHz adjustable; 12 to 16 kHz with derating factor. Line short-circuit rating: 5 kA.
Control, communication and safety functions of the ATV212HU15N4
Communication protocols listed: APOGEE FLN; BACnet; Modbus; LonWorks; METASYS N2. EMC filter: Class C2 EMC filter integrated. Analogue inputs: 2. Braking: By DC injection. Because the range is aimed at building services, it brings functions such as a simple PID loop, multiple presets and a serial link so a building management system can start, stop and read speed without extra hardware. Always check the protocol list above against your network.
What makes the ATV212HU15N4 different from a general-purpose machine drive
A machine drive is judged on starting torque and positioning; an HVAC drive is judged on energy saved at partial load. For a centrifugal fan, power falls roughly with the cube of speed, so a 20 percent speed reduction can cut absorbed power by about half. That is why the ATV212HU15N4 class of drive pays back quickly on fans and pumps that run throttled today.
Typical set-up work on this unit is therefore about limits rather than dynamics: minimum speed so a pump never runs dry, a skip frequency to avoid a duct resonance, and an acceleration time long enough not to stress a belt. Document these settings after commissioning because the next engineer will need them.
Installation, wiring and commissioning of the ATV212HU15N4
Mount the drive vertically in a ventilated cabinet with the clearances in the installation guide, and keep the power cables physically separated from the control and fieldbus wiring. Use a motor cable length and screening consistent with the EMC statement of the datasheet, and ground both ends of the screen.
During commissioning enter the motor nameplate data, run the auto-tune if the datasheet procedure offers it, and test the rotation direction with the coupling off. Check the heatsink fan and clean the vents on every shutdown; in dusty Gulf sites, filter mats on the cabinet door extend the life of the drive.
Typical applications of the ATV212HU15N4 in Oman and the GCC
In Oman and the GCC a 1.5 kW variable-torque drive typically drives air-handling fans, cooling-water circulation pumps, small jockey pumps and ventilation fans in utility buildings and plant rooms. High ambient temperature is the main concern: derate if the cabinet runs hot, and prefer an air-conditioned electrical room.
Dimensions, environment and approvals of the ATV212HU15N4

About brand
Schneider Electric is the French group for energy management and industrial automation: low and medium voltage switchgear and circuit breakers, motor control, drives, PLCs, power monitoring, UPS systems and building management. Its history goes back to 1836, when the brothers Adolphe and Eugène Schneider took over the iron and steel works at Le Creusot in Burgundy. Over the 20th century the company left steel and heavy engineering and became an electrical group through acquisitions such as Merlin Gerin, Télémécanique, Square D and Modicon. Its head office is in Rueil-Malmaison near Paris, and its shares are listed on Euronext Paris.

Choosing Schneider Electric breakers and motor control
Circuit breakers are chosen by current and breaking capacity. Acti9 miniature circuit breakers (iC60, C120) protect final circuits up to 125 A. ComPacT NSX molded case breakers cover about 16 to 630 A, and the letter after the frame size sets the breaking capacity: B, F, N, H, S, L from lowest to highest. MasterPacT air circuit breakers are used as main incomers on large switchboards. For motors, a TeSys contactor with an LRD overload relay or a GV2 motor circuit breaker suits direct starting, an Altistart soft starter reduces starting current, and an Altivar drive controls speed. The breaking capacity must always be at least the prospective short-circuit current at the point of installation.
Where Schneider Electric products are used
In Oman and the GCC, Schneider Electric equipment is found in main and sub-main switchboards of commercial and residential buildings, motor control centres in water, oil and gas and industrial plants, substations protected by Sepam and Easergy relays, data centres powered by Galaxy and APC UPS systems, and buildings controlled by EcoStruxure Building Operation.
APC by Schneider Electric: UPS and critical power
Since 2007, APC has been part of Schneider Electric and is now its product brand for uninterruptible power supplies, replacement batteries, battery packs, network management cards and rack power distribution. Our APC catalogue covers Smart-UPS line-interactive and on-line models, Easy UPS On-Line, the modular Symmetra LX, RM and PX ranges, Silcon three-phase systems and their spare part kits, and the RBC cartridges that keep them running. Schneider Electric breakers, drives and PLCs can be quoted together with APC UPS systems in one request.
