Altivar 71

18.5 to 75 kW

Product Environmental Prole - PEP

Product Overview

The main function of the Altivar 71 range is control and rotation speed variation of an
asynchronous electric motor.
This range comprises products from 18.5 to 75 kW operating at voltages from 200 and 480 V
single or three-phase.
The representative product used for carrying out assessment is the complete Altivar 71 of
rating 22 kW 480 V (ref. ATV71HD22N4).
It is representative of the entire range. Other products of the range are produced using the
same technology and on the same production process.
Environmental assessment was carried out conforming to standard ISO 14040 "Environmental
management: life cycle assessment, principle and framework". This assessment takes
account of product life cycle stages.

Constituent materials

Weight of products in the range is from 16 kg to 72 kg. It is 20.883 kg
excluding packaging for the Altivar 71 - 22 kW 480 V assessed.
Constituent materials are broken down as follows:

Substance assessment

Manufacturing

Distribution

Products of this range are designed in conformity with the requirements
of the RoHS directive (European Directive 2002/95/EC of 27 January

2003) and do not contain, or in the authorised proportions, lead, mercury,

cadmium, chromium hexavalent, ame retardant (polybromobiphenyles

PBB, polybromodiphenylthers PBDE) as mentioned in the Directive.

This range is manufactured on a Schneider Electric production site

operating to an ISO 14001 certied environmental management system.

Constant process improvement enables reduction by an average 5 % of
annual energy consumption of the site.
Complete waste sorting enables achievement of a recovery rate of 99 %

Packaging has been designed with a view to reducing its weight and
volume, respecting packaging directive 94/62/EC of the European Union.
Total weight of packaging is 8,330 g, mainly comprising cardboard and a
wooden pallet.
No wedging foam or staples are used.

Product distribution ows are optimised by location of local distribution

centres in close proximity to market areas.

Utilization

Products of the Altivar 71 - 18.5 to 75 kW range present no environmental
stress requiring particular use precautions (noise, emissions, etc.).
Electrical energy consumed depends on product installation and use
conditions.
Power consumed varies from 486 W to 2,204 W. It is 574 W for the Altivar
71 - 22 kW 480 V and represents less than 2.6 % of total power through
the product.

End of life

At end-of-life, products of the Altivar 71 - 18.5 to 75 kW range should
be dismantled to recover maximum value of the various constituent
materials.
Recovery potential is greater than 86 %.
This percentage consists of ferrous metals, copper and aluminium alloys
and marked plastics.
Products of this range also include electronic cards to be extracted and
directed towards specialised processing channels.
End-of-life data is detailed in the product end-of-life sheet.

Environmental impacts

Life cycle assessment (LCA) was produced using EIME (Environmental
Impact and Management Explorer) software, version 1.6 and its database
version 5.4.
Product use duration is estimated as 10 years and the electrical energy
model used is the European model.

Scope of assessment is an Altivar 71 - 22 kW 480 V.

Environmental impacts have been assessed on phases of Manufacturing
(M) including conversion of raw materials, Distribution (D) and Use (U).

Life cycle assessment has shown that Use phase (phase U) has the
greatest impact on the majority of environmental indicators.

Assessment also shows that indicators of this phase are highly inuenced

by the “product thermal dissipation” parameter.

System approach

As the product of the range are designed in accordance with the RoHS
Directive (European Directive 2002/95/EC of 27 January 2003),
they can be incorporated without any restriction within an assembly or
an installation submitted to this Directive.

N.B.: please note that the environmental impacts of the product depend on the use and
installation conditions of the product.

Impacts values given above are only valid within the context specied and cannot be directly

used to draw up the environmental assessment of the installation.

Glossary

Raw Material Depletion (RMD) This indicator quanties the consumption of raw materials during the life

cycle of the product. It is expressed as the fraction of natural resources
that disappear each year, with respect to all the annual reserves of
the material.

Energy Depletion (ED) This indicator gives the quantity of energy consumed, whether it be from

fossil, hydroelectric, nuclear or other sources.
This indicator takes into account the energy from the material produced
during combustion. It is expressed in MJ.

Water Depletion (WD) This indicator calculates the volume of water consumed, including

drinking water and water from industrial sources. It is expressed in dm3.

Global Warming (GW) The global warming of the planet is the result of the increase in

the greenhouse effect due to the sunlight reected by the earth’s surface

being absorbed by certain gases known as "greenhouse-effect" gases.

The effect is quantied in gram equivalent of CO2.

Ozone Depletion (OD) This indicator denes the contribution to the phenomenon of

the disappearance of the stratospheric ozone layer due to the emission
of certain specic gases. The effect is expressed in gram equivalent
of CFC-11.

Photochemical Ozone Creation (POC) This indicator quanties the contribution to the "smog" phenomenon

(the photochemical oxidation of certain gases which generates ozone)
and is expressed in gram equivalent of ethylene (C2H4).

Air Acidication (AA) The acid substances present in the atmosphere are carried by rain.

A high level of acidity in the rain can cause damage to forests.

The contribution of acidication is calculated using the acidication

potentials of the substances concerned and is expressed in mode
equivalent of H+.

Hazardous Waste Production (HWP) This indicator calculates the quantity of specially treated waste created

during all the life cycle phases (manufacturing, distribution and utilization).
For example, special industrial waste in the manufacturing phase, waste
associated with the production of electrical power, etc.
It is expressed in kg.
