Product Description:
The 178B8593 is an AC variable frequency drive developed by Danfoss for the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drives series. As a compact controller, it converts fixed-frequency mains power into regulated output power, allowing automation systems to adjust motor speed, torque, and energy use without mechanical throttling. In production lines, HVAC skids, and other process equipment, the unit can be installed in control panels to provide electronic acceleration, deceleration, and braking for standard induction motors. Its compact design supports applications that require variable-speed motor control within limited panel space.
The drive is rated for 200–240 V AC three-phase mains, matching low-voltage supplies commonly found in light industrial facilities. Its continuous power rating is 1.5 kW, which corresponds to a motor output of 2.0 HP. This capacity is suitable for small conveyors, mixers, and blower stages. The slim book-style housing supports dense panel mounting, while the IP20 protection rating guards against accidental finger contact with hazardous internal components. The factory configuration is intended for process applications, with a default parameter map suited to constant-torque loads. No application option or fieldbus option is installed, so commands must be provided through discrete input and output connections or the local keypad.
The printed circuit boards have a protective coating that improves resistance to moisture and airborne contaminants often present near chemical or food-processing equipment. A built-in display with an SLCP provides local access for viewing operating data and editing parameters. The control section uses a standard configuration with brake control, allowing the braking transistor to manage regenerated energy during rapid motor deceleration. The unit is supplied with no EMC filter, so external radio-frequency interference mitigation must be installed when conducted-emission limits apply. Panel layout should provide appropriate electrical clearances and ventilation around the enclosure to support dependable operation under load.
