Altivar 61

The Altivar 61 is a powerful and efficient frequency drive from Schneider Electric, designed for applications where energy savings and precise motor control are essential. This Variable Speed Drive (VSD) is primarily used in HVAC systems, water treatment facilities, and other industrial processes where fans and pumps play a key role. By adjusting the speed of electric motors, the Altivar 61 helps reduce energy consumption and extend the lifespan of mechanical components.

Where is the Altivar 61 used?

The Altivar 61 is commonly deployed in sectors where ventilation, cooling, and pump control are critical—such as commercial buildings, the food industry, and water management. With intelligent control capabilities, the drive can reduce energy use while optimizing system performance. It also features advanced network communication and process monitoring functions, making integration into existing automation systems straightforward.

What are the key features of the Altivar 61?

This frequency drive offers comprehensive features for energy management, fault detection, and performance optimization. Thanks to advanced algorithms, it can automatically determine the motor's optimal operating point, ensuring more efficient energy use. In addition, the Altivar 61 includes thermal and electrical protection mechanisms that safeguard equipment from damage caused by overloads or power fluctuations.

Differences between the Altivar 61 and other Altivar drives

Within Schneider Electric’s Altivar series, each model has its own specialization. While the Altivar 630 and Altivar 930 are designed for more heavy-duty industrial applications, the Altivar 61 is specifically developed for HVAC and water management systems. This makes it ideal for setups requiring a high level of energy efficiency. Its compatibility with various communication protocols also allows for easy integration into existing networks, offering a flexible and scalable solution.
