Product Description:

The 178B5027 is a frequency drive controller designed by Danfoss Automation to improve automation efficiency by accurately monitoring the speed, position, and general operation of motor units. This converter is a high-voltage device that should be handled with a high level of care to prevent electrical accidents. It must also be properly grounded in accordance with national and local regulations. The 178B5027 features an electronic thermal relay that allows providing connected motors with reliable overload protection according to international standards. However, the thermal protection feature is not configured into the drive as a standard; it is the responsibility of the operator to initiate this feature by setting the Parameter 128 for “ETR TRIP”.

The cooling of the 178B5027 frequency converter is carried out by cool air circulation, air flow is generated by an internal fan that is installed into the drive. After the installation of this product, a minimum clearance of about 100 millimeters should be allowed above and below this product for an easy flow of cooling air. Customers should also ensure the ambient temperature surrounding this product is not higher than 55 degrees. Operation of this product without derating is only possible in an ambient temperature that is below 45 degrees Celsius. The 178B5027 does not require side cooling, and can be installed side-by-side together with other units in the same product series.

The 178B5027 frequency converter can be mounted in any position. This flexibility in installation position enables the converter to integrate seamlessly into any system design without issue. There is a control unit installed on the front panel of this product, which is divided into several function groups such as the six-digit LED display, Indicator lamps, keys for local operation, and keys for changing configuration parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions about 178B5027:

Q: How does the 178B5027 converter protects itself from overheating?

A: This converter monitors the temperature in the heatsink, it automatically cuts out if the temperature reaches 90 degrees to protect itself.

Q: Is the 178B5027 able to monitor the temperature in the motor?

A: The thermistor feedback from this servo motor is monitored by this converter. High temperature levels are detected an communicated to the operator through an alarm.

Q: How can operators reset this converter after overtemperature shutdown?

A: An over temperature can only be reset when the temperature of the heatsink drops below 80 degrees Celsius.

Q: What is the efficiency level of this product?

A: Under normal operation conditions, the 178B5027 converter maintains an operation efficiency of about 96 percent.

Q: What type of motor can be used with this product?

A: The 178B5027 is suited to permanent magnet motors. It is able to automatically adapt its operation to maintain efficient motor control.
