Technical details

• Series: Altivar 500
• Component Type: Power Board
• Size Designation: SIZE 12
• Voltage Class: Typically designed for 3-phase industrial power systems; specific voltage rating (e.g., 208V, 230V, 400V, 480V, 600V) should be verified against the full drive model datasheet.
• Current Rating: The SIZE 12 designation implies a specific maximum continuous and peak current handling capability, which should be confirmed with manufacturer specifications.
• Power Handling: Corresponds to the power output range of the Altivar 500 drive it is integrated into.
• Protocol Compatibility: Designed to operate within the Altivar 500 drive's communication architecture, supporting standard industrial protocols as configured in the drive.
• Functional Role: Manages the conversion of incoming AC power to DC, and then to variable frequency AC power for motor control, including braking and regenerative functions if supported by the drive.
