VLT 5002
The VLT 5002 frequency converter by Danfoss, part of the prestigious VLT 5000 Frequency Converters series, is engineered for precise motor control in modern industrial automation. This 3-phase device accepts an input voltage of 380-500 V and delivers a rated output power of 1.1 kW with a frequency range of 0–1000 Hz. Housed in an IP20 enclosure, the VLT 5002 ensures basic protection for indoor installations in controlled environments. With a max ambient temperature of 40 °C rating, it maintains consistent operation under moderately demanding conditions. Compact yet robust, this converter integrates seamlessly into motor-driven processes requiring energy savings and accurate speed regulation.
Performance is highlighted by a rated output current of 2.8 A at 380–440 V and 2.6 A at 441–500 V, complemented by peak currents of 4.5 A (380–440 V) and 4.2 A (441–500 V) for 60-second overloads. The device supports a max cable cross-section of 4 mm² (10 AWG) for motor and brake connections, simplifying wiring and installation. It provides apparent output power of 2.1 kVA at 380–440 V and 2.3 kVA at 441–500 V, ensuring stable performance under varying loads. Rated input currents of 2.6 A at 380 V and 2.5 A at 460 V optimize supply utilization and reduce energy waste. The converter’s control algorithms adapt to load conditions, delivering smooth torque control and rapid response across its full operating envelope.
Reliability is ensured through rigorous thermal management and compliance with industrial standards. The VLT 5002’s simplified maintenance profile reduces downtime and total cost of ownership. Integration into existing PLC and SCADA systems is straightforward via standard communication interfaces, enabling remote monitoring and parameterization. Typical applications include HVAC fan and pump control, conveyor systems, and small-scale process automation where precise speed adjustment and energy efficiency are paramount. With its balance of performance, protection, and flexibility, the Danfoss VLT 5002 is a dependable solution for diverse industrial automation challenges.
