178B8593

Product Description:

The 178B8593 made by Danfoss is in the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drives family. This drive puts out 1.5 kW of power and works off 220-240 V AC input over a single-phase setup. Size stays compact, marked as A-frame, which helps when squeezing equipment onto crowded panels or into small enclosures. Current draw hits 15.2 A, so it keeps up with medium-duty industrial work, and the drive manages 50/60 Hz frequency without skipping a beat. On the front, there’s IP20 protection, holding off solid objects but leaving enough airflow through so the electronics keep cool.

Danfoss calls on a book-style shape here, so having gear lined up side-by-side comes easier for the install crew. Mounting options are flexible enough for bookcase or flat installations, fitting around what most automation cabinets allow. The drive uses a simple layout—no onboard fieldbus to complicate things, making setup straightforward and giving less to debug. With next to no extra internal filtering (EMC filter: none on this model), the design shows it best fits controlled electrical rooms without tons of electronic noise going around. For connections, the input lug works with standard wiring, so projects don’t stop for special terminals or rare bits.

When factories need fast swap-outs or build schedules change, this drive’s small mass and clear specs keep downtime to a minimum. It fits best right in the heart of industrial applications handling pumps, light conveyors, or fans, where stable output comes first. The enclosure survives day-to-day knocks, standard-for-shop kinds of dust, but the drive expects dry spaces because the IP20 rating suits that best. Danfoss brings decades of drive know-how here, building a product that runs steady for production shifts, needs less hands-on time from maintenance, and drops straight into most mainstream automation lines that call for basic, dependable 1.5 kW VFD action.
