Product Description:

The 178F1685 is a converter built by Danfoss Automation for motion control in industrial automation industries. This is a state-of-the-art product that is widely popular for its high operation efficiency and its ability to provide accurate control of the speed and torque output of a wide range of motor designs. The enclosure of this product is made from a strong metal that is able to shield it from common large foreign solids. The unit also features a three-phase mains connection for its input voltage, which can be between 200 to about 240 volts. Voltage supplied to this product should have an efficiency level that falls between 50 to 60 hertz. The 178F1685 frequency converter contains an integrated air blower that is designed to be used at an ambient temperature that does not exceed 45 degrees Celsius; higher temperature values can lead to the derating of the unit.

At rated load, the power factor of the 178F1685 is estimated to be about 0.90; its displacement power factor is also estimated to be greater than 0.98. The amount of leakage current produced by this device during operation can be as high as 3.5 milliamperes. To prevent electrical accidents, the unit should be properly grounded before it is switched on for operation. The output voltage supplied by this product can be between 0 to about 100 percent of its supply voltage, and its output frequency range is between 0 to about 1000 hertz.

Customers that use screen electrical motor cables with the 178F1685 can use a cable as long as 150 meters, for unscreened motor cables, the maximum length is 300 meters. The standard efficiency level of this product is about 95 percent, the unit is also determined to be a maintenance-free device under standard conditions.
