Product Description:

Danfoss 178B2742 belongs to the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drive series of drives that are designed to provide dependable and efficient motor control in various industrial applications.

It has a book-like enclosure design, which makes it fit into control cabinets with a small footprint, particularly where space is a concern. The unit has a protection rating of IP20, and it offers elementary protection against solid objects; however, it should be installed in fully enclosed systems. Based on three three-phase mains supplies, this model operates under an input voltage of 380-480 V AC +/-10 percent at 50/60 Hz; this has guaranteed this model to work reliably with a wide range of applications with several industrial power systems. The system offers programmable motor control of 1.5 kW (2.0 HP). It comes with a current of around 4.2 A, making it efficient to perform in diverse industrial uses.

The 178B2742 is sold with standard hardware and does not pack the device with extra application features or protection finishes, which makes the design very simple and affordable. To guarantee compatibility with any sensitive equipment in the industry, an integrated RFI filter that satisfies EN 55011 Class A1 requirements helps to mitigate electromagnetic interference. Another strength of this drive is thermal performance. It can also work at ambient temperatures between –10 °C to +45 °C without derating, which makes it applicable in a standard factory. The product is in a larger VLT product range, which is associated with durability, efficiency, and ease of operation in most industries. It can be purchased at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty.
