Product Description:

The 178B1466 is a frequency-controlled low-voltage drive produced by Danfoss for the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drives series. As a member of the wider VLT product group, this unit controls the speed of three-phase induction motors by converting fixed-frequency mains power into a variable-frequency output. In process automation systems, the drive helps pumps, fans, and conveyors maintain the commanded operating speed while fitting into compact control panels. Its variable-frequency output also allows connected equipment to accelerate and decelerate gradually, reducing abrupt mechanical loading during normal operation.

Its power section is rated at 2.2 kW, which is the continuous power it can deliver to a connected motor under rated operating conditions. The corresponding mechanical output is 3.0 HP, providing the equivalent rating in horsepower. The input stage accepts 380–480 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz, covering common industrial power systems used in North American and European facilities. The drive is designed for a three-phase network and can connect directly to a compatible mains supply without an external transformer. Its IP20 protection rating guards against finger contact with hazardous internal parts, although the unit must still be installed inside a clean, dry control panel. The standard hardware configuration avoids specialized modules and supports straightforward integration with general-purpose motor applications.

The housing uses a Bookstyle format, giving the drive a narrow profile that conserves cabinet width when several units are mounted beside one another. Status and operating information appear on the built-in display (SLCP) on the front of the unit, allowing direct access to essential settings without a remote keypad. Conducted emissions are limited by an integrated RFI filter that complies with EN 55011 A1 (IT mains), supporting operation on isolated power systems. The drive uses a process-oriented configuration for common pump, fan, and conveyor duties. It is supplied without an application option or a fieldbus option, so control relies on the standard interfaces provided by the drive. The housing does not have a protective coating and should be installed where moisture, corrosive vapor, and excessive airborne contamination are controlled.
