Compact VLTŪ Micro Drives Now Available with More Power
General purpose drive designed for rugged and reliable, out-of-the-box, plug-and-play control of AC motors up to 30 HP
LOVES PARK, IL -- Danfoss Drives has added an M5 frame size to its VLTŪ Micro Drive family. The M5 frame size is 11.5 in. H x 6.5 in. W x 9.8 in. D, and covers the three-phase 380 - 480 VAC, 25 - 30 HP range. The drive offers true side-by-side mounting without any derating due to its compact book-style design. An Automatic Energy Optimizer function allows the drive to consume less energy while the Automatic Motor Adaptation feature leverages the motor's full operating potential. Users will also benefit from up to 150% more torque for up to a full minute, eliminating the need to oversize the drive.
In addition to the new M5 frame size, VLT Micro Drives are also available in single-phase 200 - 240 VAC, 0.25 - 2 HP; three-phase 200 - 240 VAC, 1/3 - 2 HP; three-phase 380 - 480 VAC, 0.5 - 3 HP; and three-phase 380 - 480 VAC, 15 - 20 HP power range configurations.
The VLT Micro Drive is a genuine VLT variable frequency drive with high reliability, user-friendliness and condensed functionality that is extremely easy to commission. Users simply connect the motor and power cables, turn the control knob, and watch the motor speed change. They feature conformal coated PCBs per IEC 60721-3-3, class 3C3, and provide serial communication via RS 485 Modbus RTU and FC protocols. A detachable Local Control Panel (LCP) with or without a potentiometer, an LCP copy function, as well as a panel-front mounting kit for the LCP, all facilitate ease of use.
The extremely compact VLTŪ Micro Drive provides IP20 protection even without the terminal cover. It can be commissioned in minutes to perform even complex operations. Approximately 100 parameters can be set to optimize energy efficiency and operation. A "flying start" feature provides more uptime while an electronic thermal relay eliminates the need for external motor protection. A built-in RFI filter saves on cost and space. The VLTŪ Micro Drive also features a smart logic controller - a simple yet clever way to seamlessly integrate the drive and motor for optimum application performance. This feature allows users to program the controller to react on virtually any event, often eliminating the need for a PLC.
Additional features include built-in AC and DC brake functions that help the drive transform kinetic energy from the application into braking power, intelligent heat management and coated electronics for maximized drive reliability and life, and the ability to copy settings via a local control panel (LCP) to easily set up multiple drives.
