175Z0318

Product Description:

The 175Z0318 from Danfoss fits into the VLT 5000 Frequency Converters series and handles some pretty involved automation requirements with comfort. For places that demand solid motor control, this unit works with 3 x 380–500 V AC input voltage, which offers good flexibility in plant power setups. A nominal output current of 16 A and rated motor power of 7.5 kW (10 HP) help it slot in for medium-sized drives. The outside sits under IP20 enclosure, so protected cabinet installs stay tidy. This one does best in areas kept clear of moisture or fine dust, where reliable power supplies stick to the rules.

Handling rough overloads, the converter manages up to 160% output for a whole minute, which helps avoid pressure during startup or heavy load moments. Some motors need a brake to avoid running away, so there’s an integrated brake chopper built in already. Overvoltage and short-circuit protection are covered—the unit jumps in and keeps surprises to a minimum if things spike or go sideways. A Class A & B RFI filter deals with interference, keeping signals cleaner inside dense control panels. Heat can cut a unit’s life fast, so this model keeps it simple with air-cooled operation, letting fans or just steady airflow do the work.

Setting up this converter doesn’t turn into a long job, since a weight of 8 kg and compact 315 x 242 x 242 mm dimensions help out during panel builds. The lowest safe operating temperature sits at -10°C, while the system earns stable performance up to 45°C—a range that suits busy production floors and controlled automation settings. Control kits like this frequently show up in conveyor systems, pump drives, storage lifts, and just about everywhere stable motor ramps are needed.
