VLT HVAC Basic Drive

Jan. 27, 2012

Danfoss VLT Drives introduces the VLT HVAC Basic Drive—a robust variable-speed drive solution that delivers reliable HVAC performance for basic fan and pump operations.

VLT HVAC Basic Drives minimize wear on HVAC equipment and maximize system uptime while reducing HVAC system operating costs by up to 15%. 

These drives are available in:

  • 3 x 200 to 240 V/0.25 to 45 kW
  • 3 x 380 to 480 V/0.37 to 90 kW
  • 3 x 525 to 600 V/2.2 to 90 kW

They offer IP20 or IP21 enclosures to satisfy a range of power and protection needs.

Numerous built-in features reduce, and in some applications may even eliminate, the need for additional external equipment such as gateways, PI controllers, and PLCs. An Automatic Energy Optimizer function reduces energy consumption by up to 15%, while a “sleep mode” functionality can help further reduce operating costs and extend drive life. Bypass frequencies minimize operating noise, vibration, and resonance issues. VLT HVAC Basic Drives also feature a “start-up wizard” that makes drive set-up fast and simple, and easy tool access further aids fast and effective commissioning and operation.

A robust single-piece enclosure provides reliable, maintenance-free operation in ambient temperatures up to 50°C, with no external cooling required. A unique cooling concept provides problem-free performance, even in harsh environments, without forced air flowing over the electronics.
