Altivar 71 is a variable frequency drive (VFD) produced by Schneider Electric. It is used to control and vary the speed of asynchronous or synchronous electric motors. The VFD has a power range of 90-630 kW and is suitable for operation on 480 V and 690 V three-phase power supplies.
The Altivar 71 range (90‑630 kW) is a family of drives for controlling asynchronous or synchronous electric motors. This document presents the life‑cycle environmental assessment for a 132 kW, 480 V unit (ref. ATV71HC13N4), including material composition, manufacturing, distribution and usage impacts.
Key findings show a product weight of 114 kg (excluding packaging), internal power consumption between 2.4 kW and 11.9 kW, and a recycling potential of 78 %. The drive complies with the RoHS directive and is manufactured under ISO 14001 environmental management.
