Product Description:

Great electrical efficiency is the hallmark of the 178B2010, an impressive drive manufactured by Danfoss. Its 0.98 efficiency rating puts it among the most energy efficient options in the 6000 HVAC series. This 30 HP drive runs on a wide 380 to 500V AC voltage range, so it can accommodate international electrical standards and still have great power conversion characteristics to minimize energy waste and costs. The drive’s power electronics only use 547W of power during normal operation. That’s a lot of efficiency that translates to less cooling and lower total cost of ownership in commercial applications where energy costs are a big part of the operational budget.

The drive’s current management system delivers 70.4 A max output and 44 A continuous current, so it has a lot of headroom for motor starting conditions and temporary overload situations without compromising long term reliability. This is great for applications with high inertia loads, frequent start-stop cycles or motors that need high starting torque like centrifugal fans, pumps and compressors found in commercial HVAC systems. The drive’s balanced loading on the electrical distribution system and the wide voltage range means no voltage specific variants are needed for international projects or facilities with non standard electrical infrastructure.

Designed for controlled commercial environments, the IP20/Chassis protection rating means cost effective operation in clean HVAC equipment rooms and still has enough protection for component life. The drive operates within standard commercial temperature ranges and its efficiency characteristics reduce internal heat generation, so it can be installed in temperature sensitive locations. The chassis is designed for easy mounting in standard electrical panels and has enough space for maintenance procedures and connection terminations. Advanced thermal management ensures performance during peak loading and saves energy during extended operation cycles.
