Where it sits in the control system
The ATV312HU55N4 is the device-level element in a Schneider Electric variable-frequency drive installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 380...480 V AC - 15...10 % — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in pump sets, conveyor belts, fan and compressor drives, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides DIN rail / panel support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
