Schneider Electric ATV320U15N4B Altivar Machine 1.5 kW Book
Description
ATV320U15N4B compact book-format drive for machine builders
The ATV320U15N4B is a Schneider Electric product listed in the datasheet as: variable speed drive, Altivar Machine ATV320, 1.5kW, 380 to 500V, 3 phases, book. The Altivar Machine ATV320 is the compact drive range built for original-equipment machines such as conveyors, packaging lines, mixers and hoists. The book format of this 1.5 kW unit is narrow and deep, so several drives can be mounted side by side on a back plate with little cabinet width. Seven Star LLC supplies the ATV320U15N4B in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier based in Muscat.
Reading the reference: ATV320 is the Altivar Machine range, U15 stands for 1.5 kW, N4 for the 380 to 500 V three-phase supply, and the final B marks the book mounting format given in the datasheet title. The wide 380 to 500 V band suits both 400 V and 480 V networks.

Ratings and machine-control features of the ATV320U15N4B
Rated motor power: 1.5 kW heavy duty. Nominal output current: 4.1 A. Supply voltage: 380 to 500 V (tolerance -15 % / +10 %). Network frequency: 50-60 Hz. Motor power ratings: 1.5 kW heavy duty. Discrete inputs: 7. Discrete outputs: 3. Analogue inputs: 3. Analogue outputs: 1. Analogue input types: AI1 voltage 0 to 10 V DC 30 kOhm 10 bits; AI2 bipolar differential voltage ± 10 V DC 30 kOhm 10 bits. Output type: Open collector DQ+ 0 to 1 kHz 30 V DC 100 mA; Open collector DQ- 0 to 1 kHz 30 V DC 100 mA. Communication protocols: Modbus serial; CANopen.
The ATV320 range includes motion-oriented functions that machine builders need: a speed range for asynchronous and synchronous motors, an integrated safe torque off, and commissioning tools that keep set-up short. Where the datasheet lists a communication option such as Modbus or CANopen on the front RJ45 port, plan the cable and termination in the machine design.
How the ATV320U15N4B fits a machine design
Compared with a process drive like the ATV630, the ATV320 is more compact and less loaded with plant-network functions; it is the preferred choice when a machine builder wants many small drives in a tight cabinet. Compared with the ATV340 (a motion-oriented drive with more control capability), the ATV320 is simpler and lower cost.
Because the ATV320 appears on many machines, keeping a spare of the commonly used 1.5 kW size is a practical way of protecting production.
Selection checklist for the ATV320U15N4B
- Motor power: 1.5 kW and rated current compared with the nominal output current.
- Supply: 380 to 500 V three phase.
- Format: book (the ATV320U15N4B ends in B), check cabinet depth and the heat dissipation of side-by-side mounting.
- Safety function requirement and the type of safety relay or controller.
- Fieldbus or serial protocol needed on the machine.
- Brake resistor requirement for decelerating high-inertia loads.
Mounting and commissioning of the ATV320U15N4B
Fit the drive on a metal plate which is grounded, with the clearance above and below the datasheet recommends. Use the correct cross-section of the line and motor cable and keep the control wiring away from the motor cable.
Commission using the keypad or the PC software, enter motor data and carry out the auto-tuning. Before releasing the machine, test the stop and safe-torque-off function and record the final settings.
Typical applications of the ATV320U15N4B in Oman and the GCC
In Oman and the GCC the ATV320 is typical on conveyors in logistics and food packaging, on small pump skids, door and gate systems and on machine-builder equipment shipped to the region. Dust, heat and sand are the typical cabinet challenges, so specify filters on the cabinet vents.
Dimensions, environment and approvals of the ATV320U15N4B
For the ATV320U15N4B, plan the mounting space from the datasheet: 45.0 mm (W) x 325.0 mm (H) x 245.0 mm (D). The ATV320U15N4B weighs 2.5 kg. Mounting, derating and enclosure choices follow the environmental data below, which should be compared with the actual panel temperature and the dust and humidity of the site in Oman and the GCC.
Ambient temperature limits in the datasheet: -10 to 50 °C without derating. Ingress protection: IP20. Standards listed: IEC 61800-5-1. Certifications listed for this reference: CE; ATEX; NOM; GOST; EAC; RCM; KC.

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.

Milestones
- 1836: The Schneider brothers acquire the Le Creusot works; the business grows in steel, locomotives and heavy engineering.
- 1975: First investment in Merlin Gerin, a French maker of electrical distribution equipment.
- 1988–1992: Télémécanique, Square D (USA) and Merlin Gerin join the group, making it an electrical specialist.
- 1997: Modicon, the company behind the first programmable logic controller, joins the group.
- 1999: The group takes the name Schneider Electric.

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.
