Product Description:
The model VLT 6008 is a variable frequency converter for HVAC duty. It operates on three phase 200 – 240 volt mains supplies. The unit regulates pumps and fans with dependable speed control. The nominal output current of the model is 24.2 amperes for continuous service and the typical shaft power is 5.5 kilowatts or 7.5 horsepower.
The VLT 6008 frequency converter has an output current rises of 26.6 amperes for sixty seconds. The rated apparent power at 240 volts is 10.1 kVA. The unit supplies a typical 5.5-kilowatt motor efficiently. The parallel motor operation is supported using careful load sharing. The motors can run with different rated rpm values when needed. The speed changes occur simultaneously across connected motors. The ratio between rated rpm values remains constant during control. The input current of the converter at 200 volts RMS is 23 amperes. Use suitable supply cabling for continuous thermal performance. The maximum supply cable cross-section is 16 mm² or AWG 6. The maximum motor and DC-bus cable cross section is 16 mm² also. The recommended supply pre fuse rating is 50 amperes. The efficiency of the converter is 0.95 under standard conditions. The thermal loss for the converter at maximum load is 426 watts.
The VLT 6008 frequency converter uses air circulation through its cooling path. Install the model vertically for correct chimney airflow. Maintain the minimum clearances above and below the unit. Keep the wiring of the drive short and separated from signal lines where possible. Grounding practices should follow local electrical codes and manufacturer guidance. The frequency converter accommodates UL rated fuses up to 50 amperes. Pre-fuse selection must respect prospective short circuit currents.
