Schneider Electric ATV12P055M2 Altivar 12 Variable Speed Drive – 0.55kW, 0.75HP, 200–240V 1-Phase
Schneider Electric ATV12P055M2 Altivar 12 0.55kW / 0.75HP VFD with 200–240V single-phase input, three-phase motor output, Modbus communication and base-plate mounting for simple industrial machines.
Description
The Schneider Electric ATV12P055M2 is an Altivar 12 variable speed drive (VFD/VSD) designed for controlling three-phase asynchronous motors in simple industrial machines. It provides 0.55kW / 0.75HP motor power from a 200–240V AC single-phase supply and uses a base-plate mounting design. Schneider Electric lists the model specifically as an ATV12 drive for 200–240V, 1-phase input.
The ATV12P055M2 is designed for compact machine integration and straightforward commissioning. Its ATV12 platform supports V/f, quadratic V/f and sensorless flux-vector motor control, with Modbus communication over RS-485 through an RJ45 connector.
A key advantage of the M2 version is that it accepts 230V-class single-phase input and provides three-phase output for a three-phase motor. Schneider Electric specifically confirms that ATV12 models with the M2 suffix are designed for 230V AC single-phase input and three-phase motor output.
The P version uses a base plate rather than the standard heatsink arrangement, making it suitable for applications where heat dissipation can be transferred through the machine mounting surface. Schneider Electric describes the ATV12 range as suitable for simple machines, with a compact and electrical-cabinet-friendly design.
