The Schneider Electric ATV950U15N4 is a 1.5 kW class variable speed drive from the Altivar Process 950 series, designed for reliable motor control in compact industrial process applications.
It is widely used in small pumps, fans, HVAC systems, light conveyors, dosing equipment, and OEM machinery, where stable speed regulation and energy efficiency are required rather than high power output.
Despite its compact rating, it belongs to Schneider Electric’s process-focused drive platform, offering advanced control features, communication capability, and diagnostic functions typically found in higher-end industrial drives.
Its IP55 protection level allows flexible installation in industrial environments, including decentralized setups close to the driven equipment.
