Schneider Electric South Africa has unveiled its cutting-edge Altivar Process ATV6100 medium voltage (MV) drive range, designed to enhance energy efficiency and operational reliability across various industries.
Didier Kayembe, offer manager for variable speed drives and speed drive systems in Anglophone Africa, explains that the ATV6100 MV drive is a complementary offering to Schneider Electric’s existing ATV6000 MV drive range.
“The new Altivar Process ATV6100 enhances our portfolio with a more compact and optimised design along with versatile features that guarantee energy-efficient operations in energy and chemicals (E&C) and water and wastewater (WWW) industries,” says Kayembe.
The ATV6100 prioritises space optimisation and versatile performance, making it the ideal choice for applications demanding a compact footprint and precise motor control. This focus on versatility translates to several key benefits for operations, including reduced footprint, high performance, versatile performance and tailored engineering solutions.
Kayembe notes that the ATV6100 covers power ranges from 150 to 13 500 kW and voltage from 2,4 kV up to 11 kV, providing optimal solutions for MV drive applications. The reduced kilowatt and kilovolt rating from 160 to 20 000 kW and 2,4 to 13,8 kV in the ATV6000 offering provides a more economical and energy-efficient solution for lower-range applications.
“The ATV6100 is a complementary offering that is more user friendly in terms of a smaller footprint and is essentially a response to the needs of our customers. Additionally, it features a modular design that allows for easy compartmentalisation and quicker repair of individual parts,” he says.
The Altivar Process ATV6100 is ideal for applications in various segments, including:
• Water and wastewater applications: Raw water pumps, lifting stations, blowers and compressors, booster pumps and high-pressure pumps.
• Energy and chemical applications: ESP, crude oil transfer pumps, pipeline compressors, ID/FD fans, extruders and mixers.
Simplified installation
“ATV6100 optimises space, simplifies installation and boosts energy efficiency, reducing long-term investment and operating expenses while maximising value. The robust design, versatile compatibility and seamless integration of the ATV6100 empower process optimisation, leading to enhanced system uptime, reduced equipment stress and a more efficient operation,” says Kayembe.
“The intuitive interface, digital connectivity and service-friendly modular design streamline operations with faster troubleshooting, simplified maintenance and maximised uptime.” This innovative product marks a significant milestone in Schneider Electric’s commitment to delivering sustainable solutions tailored to the needs of the Anglophone market in Africa.
