178F0765

Product Description:

The 178F0765 low voltage drive comes from Danfoss and drops right into applications needing simple control over power. Designed as part of the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drives family, this unit stands out because it’s a compact build with a 0.75 kW power rating and a total weight of 3.8 kg. Dimensions hit 200 x 90 x 152 mm, so it fits into spots that don’t allow for massive drives. The max output current sits at 16 A, handling more demanding tools or machinery, while the system only works one way – vertical mounting only, not side or flat, just vertical.

With a protection rating of IP20, this drive won’t block water, but basic dust won’t get past the enclosure. The operation stays smooth with a built-in integral R1 (1A) filter meant to reduce electrical noise and improve running quality. On the voltage side, it accepts 3 x 380-480 V AC ±10%, matching plenty of standard 3-phase setups. For outputs, it’s flexible since the output frequency covers 0.2–132 Hz – some settings even push 1–1000 Hz if needed. There’s another side to versatility when the output voltage can swing from 0 to 100% of supply voltage, allowing some fine-tuning for specific motor and equipment requirements.

Getting power steady over time comes not just from the voltages but with the supply frequency range at 50/60 Hz ±3 Hz, meaning steady operation whether the incoming line changes slightly or not. For wire runs, this drive deals with cable lengths up to 100 m screened, or 200 m unscreened, so control cabinets can live far apart if that’s how the system shakes out. As part of the larger VLT series, the 178F0765 goes into everyday jobs; material handling, conveyors, small pumps.
