Schneider PN072132P902 Brake/Chopper Board – ATV61/71 132-160KW – Tested

Product Overview

Original Schneider PN072132P902 brake/chopper board for Altivar ATV61 and ATV71 series high-power drives. This board serves as the inverter gate-driver and brake chopper control board, generating and managing the switching drive signals for the inverter power stage and controlling the braking chopper for dynamic braking operation. It forms part of the drive’s power-electronics control section, supporting controlled switching of power semiconductors for motor speed and torque regulation.

Specifications

Compatibility Note

• Compatible with Schneider Altivar ATV61 and ATV71 series drives
• Specifically for ATV71-132KW and ATV61-160KW power ratings
• Typical drive models: ATV61HC16N4 (160KW / 250HP), ATV71HC13N4 (132KW)
• CRITICAL: Nameplate photo required – different power ratings and drive versions may use different board revisions
• If mismatched: Incorrect board selection may result in drive failing to power up, reporting OBF (brake overvoltage) fault, or experiencing brake chopper malfunction
• This board is the primary suspect when the drive reports OBF (brake overvoltage/braking fault) – check this board first before replacing the braking resistor
• Verify drive model, power rating, and original board marking before ordering
• Send drive nameplate photo for accurate matching

Quality Assurance

• Original pulled from working drive; tested functional with no repair history
• Actual photos sent before shipping
