Altivar 212

Dedicated HVAC drives for 0.75 to 75 kW motors
Orientated towards performance, intelligence and building protection.

Features

The Altivar 212 is a variable speed drive for 3-phase asynchronous motors from 0.75 kW to 75 kW. It is specifically intended for the most commonly encountered fluid management applications in tertiary sector buildings (HVAC): heating, ventilation, air conditioning and pumping. Due to its eco-energy based design, energy savings of up to 70% can be achieved compared to a traditional control system.

Characteristics :

Altivar 212 covers motor powers between 0.75 kW and 75 kW on the following supplies:

• 200…240V 3-phase, from 0.75 kW to 30 kW, IP 21
• 380…480V 3-phase, from 0.75 kW to 75 kW, IP 21
• 380…480V 3-phase, from 0.75 kW to 75 kW, UL Type 12/IP 55

• Speed range: 1:50
• Transient overtorque: 110% - 60 s.
• Integrated EMC filters, categories C1 to C3 depending on model
• Communication bus most commonly used on the market integrated: Modbus, METASYS N2®, APOGEE FLN P1® and BACnet®. Optional: LonWorks
• Complies to international standards and certifications: UL, CSA, C-Tick and NOM
• Antiharmonic technology enables a THDI < 30% to be achieved Benefits Centred on Centralised Technical Management

• Centred on Centralised Technical Management :
• Instant viewing of the energy consumption.
• Detection of failures for quick intervention: belt breakage, pump running dry, phase failure, supply fault, etc.
• Preventative maintenance for reducing costs and optimising the equipment: fault alert, operating time, etc.
• Connection to building supervision network using embedded protocols.
• Centred on user-friendliness :
• Tools for installing, parametering and viewing the installation (remote graphic terminal in 6 languages, Multi-Loader, Bluetooth and SoMove Mobile).
• Compact size.
• Simple maintenance.
• Centred on protection :
• Continuity of service assured.
• Dedicated “Building” series functions (fire mode, register monitoring, mechanical protection function, etc.
• Integrated EMC filter, antiharmonic technology (THDI ˜ 30%).

Applications :

• Ventilation :
• Less noise pollution (airdraulic noise, motor noise, etc.).
• Detection of transmission component breakage.
• Smoke extraction: forced start with fault inhibition.
• Automatic restart.
• Allows register management.
• Heating and Air conditioning :
• Optimise control in fluid processing.
• Use of PID controller (temperature, flow rate, pressure, etc.).
• Adjustable flow rates for better energy management.
• Suppression of mechanical resonance.
• Pumping :
• Detection of underload/overload, pump running dry.
• Multi-motor configuration.
• Limitation of operating time at low speed.
• Sleep/Wake function.
• Pressure surge suppression for prolonging the life of the installation.
