Product Description:

The Danfoss VLT 3522 acts as one strong variable speed drive. The drive has a high efficiency of 96% at full load, which makes it great for operations that care about energy. It can generate 37.9A of current and 20 HP of shaft power. It can work with a three-phase supply voltage of 440/460/500 V, which means it can work with a lot of different power systems throughout the world.

The VLT 3522 can also handle unshielded motor wire lengths of up to 1000 feet, which gives users a lot of freedom in how they set it up. When installing and maintaining the VLT 3522, safety is the most important thing. Only trained electricians should undertake electrical installation and maintenance. Following the instructions and all relevant local and national safety rules is necessary to avoid equipment failure, injury, or death. When configuring or using the drive, it might start the linked motor without notice. It is vital to remember, nevertheless, that the STOP key does not cut off AC power.

Before any maintenance can be done, the power must be verified as unplugged and the correct lockout/tagout procedures must be followed. UL/cUL-listed versions include an Electronic Thermal Relay (ETR) built in that protects single-motor applications against Class 20 motor overload. To do this, parameter 315 must be set to "TRIP" and parameter 107 must match the motor's rated current. The VLT 3522 uses forced air circulation for thermal management. It has a door fan and back heatsink fan(s) to cool the parts within. To meet all of the criteria for ratings and standards, there must be enough space surrounding the drive for air to circulate.
