Product Description:

The VLT 3003 Variable Speed Drive made by Danfoss delivers stable current and power regulation under constant and variable torque demands. Danfoss produces advanced variable speed drives made for accuracy and stability in automation systems. It ensures energy efficiency across extended duty cycles.

Under constant load conditions, the VLT 3003 speed drive provides a nominal output of 2 HP. The output current in continuous mode equals 7.8 A. This current capacity value maintains accurate drive function under steady electrical demand. The output current in intermittent operations reaches 12.5 A for 60 seconds. The short-term current tolerance allows controlled overload handling during acceleration cycles. The output power in variable torque continuous mode is 2.9 kVA. Fans, pumps, and similar applications with oscillating torque levels are supported within the specified capacity. The output power under constant load continuous duty equals 3.1 kVA. The sustained rating offers delivery of consistent energy without thermal instability. The intermittent output power reaches 4.9 kVA for 60 seconds. The short-term margin secures performance during peak mechanical demand. Industrial processes with a need for constant motor output and controlled electrical operation are supported by the drive.

The VLT 3003 speed drive supports a maximum motor size of 3 HP under constant torque duty. The defined conformity ensures correct matching between the drive and motor. The quadratic load nominal power equals 2 HP in VT operation. The value establishes suitability for variable torque systems that require high efficiency at partial speeds. The output current in variable torque continuous duty is 7.8 A. The stable current flow maintains a predictable response under continuous VT applications. The design parameters of the VLT 3003 speed drive define its ability to support automation processes that require regulated motor speed and controlled torque delivery.
