VLT 3052
The VLT 3052 variable speed drive, developed by Danfoss as part of the VLT 3000 Variable Speed Drives family, delivers robust performance for industrial motor control. This unit features a power rating of 37 kW within a voltage class of 440/460/500 V, accommodating a wide range of supply conditions. With an overall height of 37.40 inches, it integrates a 150 A T-Tron JJS input fuse to safeguard against overloads. The drive supports a Constant load Nominal Power of 50 HP and provides a continuous Output of 52.3 kVA, ensuring consistent power delivery under steady-state conditions. Its compact design and clear front-panel interface facilitate straightforward installation and monitoring in demanding manufacturing environments.
Performance capabilities are highlighted by its continuous output current of 88 A and an Output current continuous rating of 73 A, complemented by an intermittent Current capacity of 117 A for peak-load demands. The drive maintains precise speed regulation across an Output frequency range of 0-120 Hz and an Output voltage span of 0-100% of AC line voltage. It excels under varying mechanical loads, offering a Current quadratic load rating of 80 A and handling a Max. input constant load of 66.5 A without sacrificing stability. The unit supports wiring up to Max. wire size 4 AWG and accommodates maximum pre-fuses of 125 A for comprehensive system protection. Operating at a power factor of 0.9 and achieving an efficiency of 0.96 at full load, the VLT 3052 optimizes energy consumption while delivering smooth torque control.
Reliability is ensured through rigorous testing, including a switching rate on input rated at five times per minute and vibration endurance up to 0.7 g. Power dissipation is limited to 1875 W at maximum load, reducing thermal stress on critical components. The drive’s modular architecture supports seamless integration with Danfoss remote I/O and communication modules, enabling scalable networked control. Its robust construction and extensive protection features make the VLT 3052 ideal for heavy-duty applications in industrial automation, including pumps, fans, conveyors, and process machinery, where precision, durability, and versatility are paramount.
