Next Generation D-frame Drives Danfoss VLT

New D-frame VLT® High Power Drives frequency converters

Reduced size, higher efficiency and increased reliability

The new D-frame VLT drives are not only up to 68% smaller than the previous generation, they are also more energy efficient.

Customers today increasingly demand high efficiency in drive technology. Investments in improved efficiency quickly pay off, especially at higher power levels.

The 90 - 315 kW Next Generation D-frame VLT drives are the world's smallest and most efficient frequency converters in their range. 

The result of innovative thermal management

Danfoss continues to further develop and improve its VLT frequency drives. The new compact and efficient design of the new Next Generation D-frame drives is the result of innovative thermal management inside the drives.

The design is ours, the benefits are yours:

  • The size of the new D-frame frequency drives has been reduced by up to 68% - they use less space in control rooms and in panels and are easier to install. You are saving space, time and money.
     
  • The new IP 20 version is optimized for panel building - providing a higher degree of safety to operators.
     
  • The efficiency of the new D-frame drives has been increased - more energy efficient means reduced operating costs over the  lifetime of the frequency converters and shorter pay-back times.
     
  • Back-channel cooling now removes 90% (was 85%) of the heat generated by the drive away from the drive's interior - less heat in the drives means higher reliability and a longer lifetime.
     
  • Conformal coated circuit boards are now standard - offering you increased protection and higher dependability.

Basic input options for the new D-frame drives include fuses, mains disconnect, contactor (new), circuit breaker (new) and a combination of the contactor and circuit breaker. Additional options include a 230V anti-condensation heater and an optional heat sink access panel for easy cleaning.

The new D-frame drives are available in IP 20, IP 21 and IP 54 enclosures and in the same platforms as Danfoss' renowned VLT drives; the VLT AutomationDrive FC 302, the VLT HVAC Drive FC 102, the VLT Refrigeration Drive FC 103 and the VLT AQUA Drive FC 202.
