This VLT Adjustable Micro Drives series covers a wide power spectrum, handling AC motors from 0.
18 kW up to 22.0 kW depending on the voltage configuration. Single-phase 200-240V models work with motors from 0.18 to 2.2 kW, while three-phase 200-240V versions handle 0.25 to 3.7 kW loads. The three-phase 380-480V range extends from 0.37 kW all the way up to 22.0 kW for larger applications. The drives achieve 98% efficiency through well-designed power modules that keep heat generation low. Their automatic energy optimization feature typically cuts energy consumption by 5-15% in HVAC setups, which adds up over time in continuous-run applications. When extra torque is needed, these units can deliver 150% of their rated output for up to one minute - handy for getting through tough starting conditions or temporary overloads. The book-style housing design allows side-by-side mounting without any derating, which helps when panel space is tight. Operating temperature range goes up to 50°C, and the PCBs come with protective coating as standard to handle dusty or humid conditions. Built-in RFI filters keep electrical noise under control, meeting standard requirements without external components. Communication happens through RS-485 and Modbus RTU protocols, making integration with existing control systems straightforward. The drives include automatic motor identification and tuning functions that speed up commissioning work. There's also a smart logic controller built in that can handle basic control tasks, sometimes eliminating the need for a separate PLC in simpler applications.
