VACON0100-3L-0008-5-FLOW+SBF4+DPAP+DLFR
by Danfoss
The Danfoss VACON0100-3L-0008-5-FLOW+SBF4+DPAP+DLFR frequency converter is a versatile member of the VACON 100 Industrial Drives series, engineered for precision flow control in pump and fan applications. It supports a three-phase supply voltage of 380–500 Vac and delivers a nominal motor power of 3 kW at 400 V or 3 HP at 480 V, ensuring reliable performance across industrial automation environments. The drive is offered in a wall-mounted enclosure with IP21 protection, with an option to upgrade to IP54, making it suitable for both clean and harsher operating conditions. Equipped with advanced flow control functionality, it balances energy efficiency and dynamic response for diverse process requirements. Its compact design and robust construction reflect Danfoss’s commitment to durable, easy-to-maintain solutions.
The VACON0100-3L-0008-5-FLOW+SBF4+DPAP+DLFR implements a set of critical technical specifications to match demanding industrial needs. It features a continuous output current of 5.6 A, a low loadability continuous current (il) of 5.6 A, and a high loadability continuous current (ih) of 4.3 A. The maximum output current (2 s) of 8.6 A supports brief overload conditions, while the drive’s three-phase topology optimizes motor compatibility. The unit is built on an MR4 frame size, denoted by Frame Size MR4, and packaged in a Wall Mounted enclosure. Protection options include IP21 standard or IP54 upgrade. The drive includes SBF4, DPAP, DLFR integrated options and weighs 6 kg in its standard form, with dimensions of 328 × 190 × 128 mm for streamlined cabinet integration.
Operationally, the unit leverages electrolytic-free DC link capacitors for enhanced lifetime and reduced maintenance, eliminating the typical failure point in VFD designs. Communication is facilitated via integrated RS-485 and Ethernet interfaces, ensuring seamless connectivity with SCADA and PLC systems. A graphical keypad with guided wizard commissioning accelerates startup, while the absence of sine or du/dt filters minimizes electromagnetic disturbance without sacrificing drive efficiency. Continuous flow-control algorithms adapt motor speed to process demands, improving energy utilization in pump and fan installations. The drive’s high overload capacity and precise current regulation enable stable operation under variable load cycles.
System integration is simplified through support for industry-standard protocols over built-in Ethernet and RS-485, allowing direct interfacing with Danfoss and third-party automation controllers. The VACON0100-3L-0008-5-FLOW+SBF4+DPAP+DLFR is ideal for targeted applications in HVAC, water treatment, and industrial process plants where precise flow and pressure control are critical. Its compact MR4 footprint and flexible protection class options facilitate retrofit and greenfield installations. By combining rugged construction with advanced control features, it supports pump, fan, and compressor systems in demanding industrial environments.
