Product Description:
Danfoss manufactures the VLT 6172 HVAC drive for large scale ventilation and pumping systems. The drive works efficiently by controlling power and delivering current accurately. Its cooling system keeps performance stable during continuous use. It can also be integrated into automation systems that need dependable drive control.
The VLT 6172 drive provides a shaft output of 132 kW. This power level can handle heavy mechanical loads in large HVAC installations. Maximum continuous output current is 260 A. The continuous output power is 180 kVA. Power handling at this scale enables reliable distribution across multi-motor systems. Rated current at 400 V is 260 A, while at 460 V it is 240 A. Current flexibilities across two voltage classes ensures compatibility with different supply grids while staying efficient. The maximum output frequency is 60 Hz. Power loss of the drive is 1000 W. Heat generated at this value requires suitable external cooling to maintain safe installation conditions. The LC filter enclosure has an IP20 rating. Limited protection confines application to controlled indoor spaces which are free of dust and moisture.
The VLT 6172 HVAC drive includes a mains contactor rated Cl 250 EL. The switching capacity at this level ensures safe isolation during start-up and shutdown. Maximum ambient temperature for NEMA 1 / IP20 configuration is 45 °C. At this level, the drive can only be used in places with proper cooling and airflow. Enclosure design ensures safety but requires installation inside protected panels. Current and voltage ratings of the drive together establish reliable connection boundaries across industrial networks. The Danfoss VLT 6000 HVAC drive maintains stable operation with precise limits that guide safe integration in HVAC control systems.
