The main function of the Altivar 21 range is control and variable speed control of an asynchronous
electric motor, mainly for HVAC applications.
This range consists of products from 0.75 to 75 kW operating at both 200 and 480 V, single‑phase or
three‑phase.
The representative product used in the study is the complete Altivar 21 rated 11 kW 480 V
(ref. ATV21WD11N4).
It is representative of the ATV 21 11 to 18.5 kW IP54 range. The other products in this range are
created with the same technology, using the same manufacturing process.
The environmental analysis was conducted in accordance with standard ISO 14040 «Environmental
management: analysis of the life cycle, principles and framework». It takes account of the various stages
in the product life cycle.
