178B5029

Product Description:

The 178B5029 drive from Danfoss stands in the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drives group and takes on tough automation work with a pretty compact form. The size is just 267.5 x 90 x 168 mm, and at 3.7 kg it moves easily when space is at a premium or panel layouts get crowded. For muscle it brings a rated power of 3.0 kW / 4.0 HP, which lines up fine for machines running mid-sized motors or pumps. Output strength can reach 9.8 Amps for a one-minute burst, making room for a little extra when startups load things up.

The enclosure class IP20 protects the insides from stray fingers or falling bits during install, and the bookstyle type case wedges into most standard cabinets, saving space. Input wiring lands for 3 phase, swinging from 3 x 380-480V with ten percent buffer, so voltage dips don’t knock it out of the system. The cooling uses good airflow along the face of the unit to keep the guts under control, so heat won’t steal performance as the plant warms up. A built-in display (SLCP) comes right in front so setup, output viewing, and tweaking don’t need any computer at the wire bench.

Assembly includes all the basics for industrial automation: it’s a solid pick for conveyor runs, fans, or steady lifting. Service down the road finds the main tags spelled straight out: the frame carries the mark B, and there’s no RF filter, fitting those lines that already bump power quality elsewhere on the panel. The look is plain but the build stays steady, with the book format easy to switch if swapping later is on the list.
