Also known as Inverter.

An Inverter is an electrical device that controls the speed and torque of a motor by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor.

The ATV310 Schneider Variable Frequency Drive is suitable for applications involving industrial machinery; the Variable Frequency Drive ATV310 uses a three-phase asynchronous motor ranging from 0.37 kW/0.5 HP to 11 kW/15 HP.

The ATV310 Variable Frequency Drive is designed as a plug-and-play device, compact in size, durable in design, easy to install, and features functions that make it particularly suitable for industrial machine applications and some consumer machines.

The VFD is a reliable and cost-effective solution for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

The ATV310 Variable Frequency Drive is developed with guaranteed quality: the components used have a lifespan of up to 10 years.

F010	Overcurrent	• The parameters in the motor control menu are not correct • Inertia or load is too high • Mechanical lock	• Check the parameters • Check the size of the motor/drive/load • Check the mechanism state • Connect the line motor chokes • Reduce the switching frequency range • Check the ground connection of the device, motor cable and motor insulation
F011	Device overheating	• Device temperature is too high	• Check motor load, device ventilation and ambient temperature. Wait for the device to cool down before restarting.
F012	Overload process	• Overload process	• Check that device parameters and application processes are compatible.
F013	Motor overload	• Triggered due to excessive motor current	• Check the configuration of the motor thermal protection and motor load.
F014	Loss of 1 output phase	• One phase loss on the drive output	• Check the connections from the drive to the motor. • If using a downstream contactor, ensure the connection, cable and contactor are right.
