Product Description:

The 178B7527 Frequency Converter from Danfoss provides efficient motor control in demanding environments. It operates on a 3 phase 380 – 460 V mains supply and is optimized for output performance with robust overload and torque capacity.

This 178B7527 frequency converter offers a nominal output current of 260 A for 380 - 440 V operation and 240 A for 441 - 460 V. Its 60-second maximum output reaches 286 A (380 - 440 V) and 264 A (441 - 460 V). The converter supports maximum cable cross sections of 2 x 70 mm² or 2x2/0 mcm to both motor and DC-bus. The control features include a frequency range of 0 – 1000 Hz with ± 0.003 Hz resolution. The system tolerates a maximum short circuit current of 100,000 A. The switching on the supply inputs (L1, L2, L3) is limited to approximately once every 2 minutes. The ramp times are configurable from 1 to 3600 seconds that supports flexible acceleration and deceleration profiles. The rated motor frequency is 50 - 60 Hz. For torque performance, starting torque is 110 % for 1 minute with a high break away torque of 160 % for 0.5 seconds under parameter 110. These characteristics ensure stable motor operation under dynamic load conditions and during startup.

The 178B7527 frequency converter delivers nominal output power of 180 kVA at 400 V and 191 kVA at 460 V. The corresponding shaft output is 132 kW (380 - 440 V) and 200 HP (441 - 460 V). The system response time is measured at 3 milliseconds that ensures fast reactions to control inputs. This model is suitable for applications requiring high torque, precision control and configurable motor operation profiles.
