Product Description:

The HVAC Drive 178B0033 is designed and manufactured by Danfoss to provide strong and effective control of HVAC systems. It has a 3-phase power setup, which provides consistent electrical distribution and stability for commercial or industrial applications.

This drive is compatible with an input voltage range of 380 to 460 volts, which is ideal for typical medium-voltage supply systems. It provides dual input frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz, providing integration in regions with different power standards. The 178B0033 drive has a peak operating ambient temperature rating of 45°C, which guarantees stable operation without overheating under normal HVAC conditions. This drive's nominal input current is 21 A at 60 Hz, which ensures stable power consumption. The maximum pre-fuse rating needed for this drive is 63 A for sufficient circuit protection in the event of heavy loads. Regarding output performance, this drive offers an apparent output power of 17.3 kVA, ensuring high-performance operation with heavy HVAC loads. This drive’s output current is 24 A at 50 Hz, and it's capable of driving motors with high torque demand.

The internal local control panel (LCP) of this drive provides a primary interface for operation. It has a legible display for immediate system information and is complemented by 4-way navigation keys for menu entry. Its output frequency range from 0 to 1000 Hz maximum provides flexibility in the adjustment of motor speeds. The adjustments of this drive are also achieved with special plus and minus buttons for precise parameter tuning. For operational awareness, this drive features status indicators for ON, WARNING, and ALARM conditions so that users are immediately aware of operations or hazards. The chassis of the 178B0033 drive has an IP20 rating, which protects against solid objects greater than 12.5 mm, ideal for controlled indoor spaces.
