Product Description:

Danfoss is a manufacturer of VLT 6042 which is a VLT 6000 HVAC Drive. It is engineered to deliver efficient motor control in modern heating and ventilation systems with reliable operational consistency. The drive is able to deliver a shaft output power of 30 kW that guarantees reliable performance in diverse industrial and commercial applications.

The VLT 6042 HVAC drive> is powered by a three phase input design that accommodates 200 to 240 V AC. It is specified with a maximum input current of 44 A to maintain stable load performance during demanding conditions. The unit is built with a design weight of 28 kg which supports safe and efficient ease of handling during installation. It supports a motor cable cross section of 35 mm² and provides maximum flex and secure electrical connections. The drive design produces a power loss of 1065 W at full load which requires careful thermal planning and consideration. It is certified with UL and cUL approvals which confirm safety compliance for global building installations. The < has a stable working temperature of between –10 °C to +50 °C in ambient temperature. It provides robust thermal tolerance and humidity resistance which ensures long lasting performance in challenging environments. The efficiency rating at rated frequency is 0.95 which ensures optimized energy conversion during extended duty cycles.

The < delivers accurate motor regulation with consistent power quality. It is built to accommodate up to 95 per cent relative humidity non condensing conditions that allow flexibility in installation. The drive is typically applied for controlling pumps fans and air handling units in commercial and industrial systems with high precision.
