Product Description:

The 178B1160 VLT 5000 Frequency Converter from Danfoss is engineered for consistent performance in complex industrial automation. The model designation 178B1160 corresponds to the product VLT5027PT5C54STR3DLF00A00C1. It provides dependable conversion efficiency during variable load conditions. The system is designed to work reliably in continuous duty cycles. Such performance makes it perfect for integration into production environments that requires stable power regulation.

The 178B1160 frequency converter carries a net weight of 42.2 kg which provides structural stability during installation and minimizes vibration transfer to mounting frames. The gross weight reaches 45.6 kg. The enclosure rating is IP54. This protection level prevents dust accumulation and resists water spray which makes the converter suitable for harsh industrial environments. The compact enclosure type reduces occupied panel space which improves cabinet density and supports efficient line integration where layout constraints exist. The inclusion of an RFI filter limits electromagnetic interference. This ensures reliable coexistence with adjacent control electronics and prevents disturbance of sensitive circuits. Protective coating on internal boards strengthens electrical insulation. This coating delays degradation under chemical vapors or humid conditions which increase its operational lifespan. A supplied display unit provides continuous visualization of process parameters. Such direct access enables operators to verify functionality without auxiliary devices.

The 178B1160 frequency converter integrates a Local Control Panel (LCP) which provides direct input capability. The absence of a fieldbus option defines its communication limits. This omission restricts integration into advanced networked systems but simplifies wiring through conventional I/O channels. A delivered display supports local data tracking. This attribute maintains operational transparency and provides immediate response capability during commissioning. Coated boards reinforce electronic resilience thus protection prevents performance loss in environments exposed.
