Product Description:
Danfoss manufactures the VLT 3506 which is an industrial frequency converter. It is a component of the 3000 Variable Speed Drives series. This converter is intended for industrial applications that require reliable motor speed control.
The VLT 3506 has impressive electrical specs. It has an input voltage range of 380V to 500V. At nominal load, the output current is 19.0 A with a maximum of 30.0 A for 60 seconds. At nominal load the device generates 7.6 kVA and can produce up to 12.0 kVA for short periods. During maximum load circumstances the power loss remains constant at 270 W. The switching frequency of 16 kHz guarantees efficient operation with little losses. The frequency converter provides both IP 21 and IP 54 enclosure options for maximum flexibility, allowing for a wide range of mounting configurations such as wall and floor installations. It weighs 34 kg for the IP21 version and 37 kg for the IP54 variant. Under full load conditions, the unit performs well in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +45°C and it can survive storage and transport temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C. With a relative humidity tolerance of 5.2% to 95%, the frequency converter performs well in a variety of environments.
The VLT 3506 converter also meets EMC requirements such as EN 55011 and IEC 1000-4 which ensures low electromagnetic interference. It protects against short circuits and earth faults. The machine has an output voltage range of 0-100% of the mains voltage and can operate at frequencies ranging from 0-120 Hz to 0-500 Hz. Built-in motor coils decrease installation space and costs, while galvanic isolation improves safety. Furthermore, the VLT 3506 provides improved motor safety by continuously monitoring the motor phases, protecting against defects.
