Product Description:

The 178B8585 is a variable frequency drive produced by Danfoss for the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drives series. As a speed-control device, it modulates the power supplied to induction motors so that flow, pressure, or conveyor rates in process installations can be matched to real-time demand. The unit is intended for general process duties where compact cabinet installation is preferred. A built-in SLCP display allows local parameter entry and status viewing without requiring external tools.

This drive accepts a mains input range of 380–480 V at ±10% and 50/60 Hz. It supports three-phase operation on power grids commonly found in industrial plants. The input power is converted into a modulated output suitable for variable-speed motor control. The maximum supported motor output is 10 HP, which corresponds to a continuous power rating of 7.5 kW. The IP20 enclosure protects against accidental finger contact with live components, but the drive must be installed in a clean, dry panel. Control commands can be supplied through terminal I/O or entered locally through the front display. The configuration does not include a fieldbus card, so network-based control requires a compatible optional interface.

The Bookstyle enclosure minimizes cabinet width and permits tight side-by-side installation. Its heat sink fins run parallel to the mounting surface, supporting effective airflow through the cabinet. All printed circuit boards have a protective coating that improves resistance to airborne contaminants commonly encountered in chemical and food-processing areas. The standard configuration with a brake chopper supports controlled motor deceleration by directing regenerated energy to a suitable braking resistor. The unit has no integrated EMC filter, so external radio-frequency interference suppression may be required to meet applicable installation requirements. Process-oriented default parameters support continuous-duty pump and fan applications rather than positioning tasks.
