Product Description:
The 175Z0068 is a drive unit manufactured by Danfoss within the VLT 5000 Frequency Converters series. It converts fixed-frequency three-phase power into a variable-frequency output so plant controllers can adjust motor speed, match process demands, and reduce mechanical stress in automated production lines. The drive uses a book-style design that allows multiple converters to be mounted side by side in narrow cabinets while maintaining the clearances required for normal operation.
The converter accepts a 380–500 V three-phase supply, covering common industrial power systems that operate around 400 V. Its slim book-style IP20 housing provides basic protection against accidental finger contact and accommodates forced airflow within an electrical cabinet. The unit is supplied in a standard configuration with a brake chopper, allowing regenerative energy from a decelerating motor to be directed to suitable braking equipment. Under a 110 percent torque profile, the drive provides 7.5 kW of motor power for applications with moderate overload requirements. Under a 160 percent torque profile, its continuous motor power is 5.5 kW, supporting loads that require greater starting or acceleration torque. These ratings allow the drive to serve different motor-loading profiles without changing its physical cabinet footprint. The front panel does not include a display, so parameters are entered through compatible remote controls or a detachable keypad.
Control functions are handled by a process control card that supports PID regulation and analog reference signals for flow, pressure, and similar process applications. The electronics use uncoated circuit boards, so the converter should be installed in a clean, dry enclosure that limits exposure to moisture and airborne contaminants. The base configuration has no built-in option, leaving auxiliary functions to external equipment or standard hardwired connections. It also includes no fieldbus option, so control and status signals are exchanged through hardwired inputs and outputs rather than network protocols such as Profibus or DeviceNet. A passive blank occupies the display opening and maintains the front-panel arrangement while leaving access to the converter’s required service connections.
