Product Description:

The Danfoss VLT 3016 frequency regulator is designed for controlling asynchronous motors in industrial automation applications. Its output power rating is 11 kW when used for constant torque operations. The power factor remains stable at 0.9 under full-rated load. The full load efficiency is measured at around 96%.

The VLT 3016 frequency regulator functions with an input voltage range of 380 to 415 volts AC in a three-phase configuration. The input frequency is supported between 50 and 60 Hertz. The output voltage is adjustable up to the supply line level. The output frequency is programmable from 0 to 500 Hertz, depending on application needs. The unit provides a continuous output current of 24 A. For temporary overload conditions, it allows up to 38.4 A for 60 seconds. In CT mode, the input current draws 21.8 A. For electrical safety, a 63 A input fuse is recommended. This VLT 3016 frequency regulator supports motor cable lengths up to 1000 feet when unshielded. It accepts analog control signals such as 0–10V and 4–20mA. The Digital pulse input frequencies of 100Hz and 1kHz are also supported. The RS-485 communication is provided via terminals 68 and 69 for integration into automation networks. The built-in PID controller enables process feedback and regulation without external devices.

The ramping times of the VLT 3016 frequency regulator can be set from 0.1 seconds up to 3600 seconds. The supported rated motor frequencies include 50Hz, 60Hz, 87Hz, and 100Hz. The device functions reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -10°C to +40°C. Vibration resistance is rated at 0.7 g RMS for stable operation in dynamic conditions. It can be stored in environments between -25°C and +65°C. The unit complies with EMC standards as defined by EN, IEC, and VDE.
