Product Description:

The 178B1328 is an AC variable frequency drive produced by Danfoss for the VLT 6000 HVAC Drives series. It is intended for controlling fans, pumps, and compressors in building automation systems where precise airflow or water flow is needed to match the thermal load. By modulating motor speed instead of relying on mechanical dampers or valves, the drive can lower energy consumption and reduce wear on connected equipment.

The unit delivers a continuous power output of 45 kW/60 HP, giving it enough capacity for large air-handling units and primary chilled-water pumps. Its input terminals accept three-phase supplies from 380–460 VAC, allowing direct connection to standard industrial mains without a transformer. The electronics are installed in a compact IP20 housing that supports panel installation in conditioned electrical rooms while guarding against accidental contact with live parts. Local setup and manual override are available through the front-mounted keypad, which is equipped with an LCP for viewing operating status, fault codes, and parameter values without external tools. All circuit boards have a protective coating that guards solder joints and fine traces against airborne moisture and light contamination commonly found in air-handling spaces.

The control logic is optimized for HVAC operation, with acceleration ramps, PID setpoint handling, and sleep functions suited to variable-air-volume systems and booster pump applications. The drive uses a factory-supplied standard unit configuration without extended input or output modules. Electromagnetic compliance accessories are absent because the unit includes no RFI filter, so an upstream cabinet filter may be needed when local interference requirements apply. Communication capabilities are limited because the fieldbus and application accessory slots have no installed options. This arrangement supports standalone operation through hardwired control signals and reduces the number of external communication connections required within the control panel.
