ATV12H018M2 key specifications

Specifications summarise the standard catalogue configuration of the ATV12H018M2. Always confirm details against the manufacturer’s technical documentation for your installation.

What the ATV12H018M2 is used for

Variable speed drives in this class are the workhorses of Australian industry — driving pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers and compressors where controlled acceleration, energy savings and motor protection matter. Rated for 0.18 kW motors, the ATV12H018M2 suits both new machine builds and like-for-like replacement of a failed unit, keeping downtime to a minimum.

Typical buyers are maintenance engineers replacing a failed drive on plant, panel builders fitting out new motor control centres, and integrators standardising a site’s drive fleet. Because the ATV12H018M2 is a defined 0.18 kW rating, matching it to the existing motor nameplate is straightforward — check your motor full-load current against the drive rating before ordering, and contact us if you need help cross-referencing an older model.

ATV12H018M2 — frequently asked questions

Is the ATV12H018M2 in stock in Australia?

The ATV12H018M2 is supplied on an indent basis — typically 5–10 business days to anywhere in Australia. It is not held on a local shelf, which is how we keep pricing well below authorised distributor levels. If your deadline is tight, contact us before ordering and we will confirm the current lead time.

Is this a genuine Schneider Electric ATV12H018M2?

Yes — we supply new, factory-sealed product sourced through parallel import channels, backed by a 12-month InstroDirect warranty from date of dispatch. As an independent supplier we are not an authorised Schneider Electric distributor, and the manufacturer’s factory warranty may not apply to parallel-imported stock — our own warranty covers you instead.

How do I confirm the ATV12H018M2 suits my motor?

Check the motor nameplate full-load current and supply voltage against the ratings in the specification table above. Ratings should be matched on current, not just kilowatts, particularly for heavy-duty or high-inertia applications. Send us your motor details if you would like the selection double-checked before you order.
