Low voltage AC - Altivar 212

Product Description

About Altivar 212:

The Altivar 212 drive is designed for the most common fluid management applications (HVAC) in the service sector buildings, such as:

  • Ventilation
  • Heating and air conditioning
  • Pumping

Its eco-energy design ensures a reduction in energy consumption of up to 70% compared to a conventional control system.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Facts about Altivar 212:

Specification:

The Altivar 212 is a variable speed drive for 3-phase asynchronous motors from 0.75 kW to 75 kW. Specifically designed for the most common fluid management applications in tertiary sector buildings (HVAC) like heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and pumping. Energy savings of up to 70% can be achieved compared to a traditional control system, thanks to the eco-energy design.

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
• Anti-harmonic technology enables a THDI < 30% to be achieved

Functions:

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

Scope:

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
