Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the ATV930C16N4C is the right drive for your application:
- Motor Power: 160kW nominal (derate for altitude >1000m or ambient >40°C)
- Load Type: Variable torque (pumps/fans) or constant torque (compressors/conveyors)
- Duty Cycle: Normal Duty 302A / Heavy Duty 331A — select based on overload requirements
- Enclosure: IP21 standard; use ATV930C16N4 (without C suffix) for cabinet-mount without EMC filter
- Communication: Confirm fieldbus protocol matches your PLC/DCS network
- Braking: Built-in braking transistor; add external braking resistor for high-inertia loads

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the ATV930C16N4C replace an ATV71 or ATV61 series drive?
A: Yes, with parameter migration. The ATV930 offers backward-compatible I/O and enhanced process functions. A configuration file conversion tool is available from Schneider.
Q: Is the ATV930C16N4C compatible with third-party motors?
A: Yes. It supports standard IEC asynchronous motors and SyRM motors. Auto-tuning is recommended for optimal performance.
Q: What is the difference between ATV930C16N4 and ATV930C16N4C?
A: The “C” suffix indicates the unit includes an integrated EMC filter and DC choke, making it suitable for direct panel installation without additional line filters.
Q: Can I use a Siemens or ABB drive as a drop-in replacement?
A: Electrically feasible, but requires I/O remapping, parameter re-engineering, and potentially new communication modules. Not a plug-and-play swap.
Q: Do you provide technical support for installation?
A: Yes. Our engineering team can assist with parameter setup, wiring diagrams, and commissioning guidance. Contact [email protected].
