LOVES PARK, IL - Danfoss Drives VLT Series Variable Frequency Drives are now available with power through 1350 HP in 460 and 690 VAC.

F1 frame models deliver power up to 1050 HP in an 86.8 in. x 55.1 in. x 23.9 in. footprint, while F2 frame models deliver up to 1350 HP in an 86.8 in. x 71.0 in. x 23.9 in. footprint.

These high power variable frequency drives not only deliver high power performance, they facilitate ease-of-use by sharing a common platform with smaller Danfoss drives. Proven power electronics promise reliable operation, and components are accessible from the front of the unit for quick, easy serviceability and maintenance. A Rittal TS8 enclosure system in IP21 (NEMA1) or IP54 (NEMA12) enables easy system expansion, while a Class A1 RFI filter (optional class A2) reduces EMI/RFI without the need for external filters.

Additional features include DC-link reactors to reduce harmonics without external AC line reactors, DC-link fuses that provide independent protection of inverters, and coated PCBs provide extra protection in potentially corrosive environments.High power F frame size VLT Series variable frequency drives also feature a unique cooling design that utilizes a ducted back channel to pass cooling air over heat sinks, with minimal air passing through the electronics area.

This allows 85% of the heat losses to be exhausted directly outside the enclosure, which improves reliability and prolongs drive life by dramatically reducing temperature rise and contamination of electronic components.A number of power, monitoring, enclosure, filtering, control and convenience options and accessories are available to enhance performance and operation. Danfoss is a leading manufacturer of precision mechanical and electrical components, with locations in more than 120 countries. Danfoss created the VLT name when they introduced the world’s first mass-produced VFD in 1968, and the name has set the standard for high performance quality variable frequency drives ever since.
