Product Description:
The 178B8580 is an AC variable-frequency drive produced by Danfoss for the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drives series. It alters motor speed by supplying a controlled output frequency to induction motors used in automated process lines. The unit belongs to the VLT product group and supports general-purpose process applications that require a compact drive mounted inside a standard control cabinet. By converting constant mains power into a modulated waveform, it allows pump or fan speed to follow real-time load demands, which can conserve energy and stabilize process throughput.
This model delivers 2.0 HP of mechanical output, corresponding to an electrical rating of 1.5 kW. It accepts a supply of 380–480 V ±10% at 50/60 Hz on a three-phase network, enabling direct connection to common industrial feeders without a step-down transformer. The open-chassis enclosure has an IP20 rating, so the drive must be installed in a closed panel that protects it from dust, debris, and falling objects. The unit does not include an RFI filter, meaning external electromagnetic compatibility components may be required when conducted emissions must meet strict limits. It is also supplied without a fieldbus option, so speed references and control commands are provided through the local terminals or integrated keypad. These connections support straightforward control arrangements for pumps, fans, conveyors, and similar induction-motor loads.
A moisture-resistant protective coating is applied to the internal circuit boards, helping protect the electronics from airborne moisture and contaminants inside the cabinet. The enclosure uses a slim book-style format, allowing drives to be mounted closely together on backplates while preserving cabinet space. A built-in display (SLCP) shows operating status and permits local parameter entry without a separate control panel. The power section has a standard configuration with a brake, providing a braking transistor that supports rapid motor deceleration when used with suitable external components. The drive has no application option installed, so control functions are handled through its standard inputs, outputs, and local interface. Its compact arrangement is intended for enclosed installations where available mounting space is limited and local motor control is sufficient.
