A large part of the water business is panel builders and in order to speed up and complete the transition it is important to cover the full power range in the panel optimised drive platform. The new IP20 platform is a unique state of the art enclosure design for panel mount drives. It offers high “Power density” with the smallest enclosure ever seen in the power range from 11-90kW and still the well known Danfoss performance is kept. That means performances like the low harmonics, the capability to operate with long motor cables and in high ambient temperature is maintained as the rest of the new FC platform drives from Danfoss Drives. The new IP20 drive takes advantage of an intelligent cooling concept with minimum air passing the electronics in order to increase the life time of the drive. In the largest frame sizes there are two individual controlled fans which increases the reliability and speaking of fans it is worth mentioning they are all designed for the life time of the drive with no scheduled maintenance. The new IP20 platform drives are available in 240V, 380-480V and 525-600V versions covering the medium power range and an IP21/Nema1 kit will follow December 07. With the coming release of the high power drives up to 1,2MW before the end of the year VLT® AQUA Drive power range is now almost completed.
