VLT 5011
The Danfoss VLT 5011 is a high-performance frequency converter in the VLT 5000 Frequency Converters series, designed for robust industrial automation applications. This model, identified by part number VLT 5011, supports a wide frequency range of 0–1000 Hz and delivers a rated motor power of 7.5 kW to meet demanding torque and speed requirements. With selectable protection class options of IP20/NEMA 1 or IP54/NEMA 12, it ensures reliable operation in both clean and harsh environments. Engineered to operate at ambient temperatures up to 45 °C, the VLT 5011 provides continuous performance without compromise.
The technical capabilities of the VLT 5011 include a continuous apparent power rating of 12.2–12.6 kVA, optimizing energy utilization across a range of loads. It accepts an input voltage of 3 × 380–500 V AC and draws an input current of 15–14 A, delivering an output current of 16–14.5 A for efficient motor drive. The built-in integral fan cooling system maintains thermal stability under full load, while the 4-pole asynchronous pole motor type ensures smooth torque delivery. The converter tolerates installation at altitudes up to 1000 m without derating.
Operational features of the VLT 5011 enhance reliability and longevity. It maintains full operation down to a min ambient temperature of 0 °C and retains reduced performance to –10 °C, ensuring startup in cold conditions. The unit supports up to 95% non-condensing humidity, safeguarding electronics against moisture. A maximum screened cable length of 100 m for the 380–500 V unit allows versatile motor placement. The chassis/panel mountable enclosure simplifies installation in control cabinets and reduces footprint.
Integration of the VLT 5011 into existing systems is seamless, thanks to its standardized mounting and protection options. The converter’s dual IP20 and IP54 configurations adapt to various installation sites, from indoor control panels to exposed industrial environments. It interfaces easily with PLCs and SCADA systems for advanced motor control and process automation. Ideal for pumps, fans, conveyors, and other industrial equipment, the VLT 5011 delivers precise speed regulation and energy efficiency across diverse applications.
