Altivar 212

The Schneider Electric Altivar 212 is a frequency converter designed for the efficient and reliable control of small to medium-sized electric motors. This Variable Speed Drive offers a cost-effective solution for regulating motor speed in a range of industrial and commercial applications. Thanks to its versatility and robust design, the Altivar 212 is ideal for use in systems such as fans, pumps, air conditioning and heating systems, and small conveyor belts.

How Does an Altivar 212 Variable Speed Drive Work?

The Altivar 212 adjusts motor speed by varying the frequency of the electrical current supplied to the motor. This allows the motor to be precisely matched to actual demand, resulting in energy savings and reduced wear on the motor and associated components. The drive not only provides basic speed control functionality, but also includes features that ensure optimal protection for both the motor and connected equipment. This extends equipment lifespan and lowers long-term maintenance costs.

Where Is the Altivar 212 Commonly Used?

The Altivar 212 is widely used in applications where motor control is essential to maintaining efficiency and performance, but where heavy industrial demands are not present. It is commonly deployed in the HVAC sector (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), in water treatment facilities, and in small to medium-sized pumps, fans, and conveyors. This drive is particularly well-suited for applications with variable loads, as it enables rapid adaptation to changing conditions without wasting unnecessary energy.

What Is the Difference Between the Altivar 212 and Other Schneider Electric Drives?

The Altivar 212 differs from other Schneider Electric drives, such as the Altivar 320 or Altivar 58, in that it is specifically designed for smaller motors and applications that do not require advanced, heavy-duty industrial control. While the Altivar 320 and 58 are targeted at larger motors and more intensive industrial processes, the Altivar 212 provides a simpler and more cost-effective solution for smaller machines. It is ideal for applications that prioritize simplicity and efficiency without the need for high-end functionality.
