Product Description:

The product code 178B4560 is an Adaptive Cooling Drive that operates with a supply voltage range of 380 to 480 VAC. Built by Danfoss, its monitoring and setup are facilitated through a single 10-bit resolution analog input, which improves signal precision.

This drive regulates a maximum imbalance of ±2.0% of rated supply voltage, thereby preventing minor power delivery variations from degrading motor performance. The 178B4560 drive offers a maximum current output of 51.2 A for 60 seconds, a rating that ensures safe overload management under heavy-duty load cycles. With an efficiency of 96 %, this drive’s energy efficiency is optimized by reducing conversion losses under long-term operation. The true power factor of this adaptive cooling drive is 0.90 nominal at rated load, which allows efficient use of supplied electrical power. This drive incorporates automation compatibility with a single programmable relay output for interaction with external devices and system logic. Its installation versatility is allowed through maximum motor cable lengths of 40 m using screened or armored cables, facilitating installation in diversified configurations. With a displacement power factor greater than 0.98, this adaptive cooling drive achieves near-unity performance, minimizing system loss and improving grid stability.

With a 15 kW rated power output, the 178B4560 drive is capable of handling high-efficiency medium-capacity motor applications. This drive’s adaptation in motor control is achieved through ramp time adjustment of 0.02 to 3600 seconds to enable processes that demand quick acceleration. Its reliability in high-fault scenarios is guaranteed by having a short-circuit withstand level of 100000 A, allowing effective protection in systems with high fault levels. Its further durability is achieved through a vibration resistance level of 0.7 g to ensure accurate electrical performance, dependable overload management, and adaptation flexibility.
