| Title |

At Tradelco Inc., we provide the Altivar 12 variable speed drive, a compact and intelligent solution designed to optimize the control of three-phase asynchronous motors from 0.18 to 4 kW. Developed by Schneider Electric, the Altivar 12 combines performance, energy savings, and ease of integration, perfectly meeting the needs of machine builders and system integrators.
With its Plug & Play technology, sensorless vector control (SVC), and integrated C1 EMC filter, the ATV12 ensures smooth regulation, high torque, and perfect electromagnetic compatibility.Built for reliability and durability, the Altivar 12 adapts to all applications, including pumping, conveying, ventilation, packaging, and machine tools. Its SoMove software simplifies configuration, diagnostics, and maintenance, saving both time and energy while maximizing efficiency

The Altivar 12 range from Schneider Electric includes compact industrial drives for controlling three-phase asynchronous motors (200–240 V), covering a power range from 0.18 kW to 4 kW (0.25 to 5 HP).
Designed for simple industrial machines, OEM applications, and pumping or ventilation (HVAC) systems, these drives combine precision, robustness, and easy integration.

Thanks to their compact size, robust design, and intuitive programming, Altivar 12 drives provide a cost-effective and high-performance solution for most industrial and commercial installations.
