• Side-by-side mounting without derating is possible thanks to the compact, book-style design
• Penetration of dust is minimized thanks to coated PCBs
• Radio disturbance from motor cables is limited due to built-in RFI filters
• Lifetime of the drive is extended and reliability improved as a result of the effective heat sink that removes heat from the electronics
• Energy consumption can be reduced as kinetic energy in the application can be transformed into braking power to slow down the motor

Conveyors, pumps, fans, mixers, extruders, palletizers, packaging machines and other industrial appliance.

• There’s no need for external cooling or oversizing as the maximum ambient temperature is 50°C without derating
• PLC capacity is often unnecessary thanks to the Smart Logic Controller
• A low initial investment and easy upgrades are possible thanks to the modular concept with a wide range of options
• The need for external control and conversion equipment is avoided due to integrated pump, fan and compressor functionality
• Less gateway solutions are needed thanks to a wide range of HVAC protocols for building management system controller connectivity

• • • Assets are protected thanks to specially designed software that prevents, for example, water hammering
    • Energy efficiency is maximized as a result of the drives control algorithms and design which focus on reducing heat loss
    • High energy savings related to air conditioning are ensured due to the unique back-channel-cooling concept that transfers 90% of heat away from the room
    • Electromagnetic interference and harmonic distortion are reduced thanks to the built-in, scalable RFI filter and integrated DC link chokes
    • Perfect system integration and adaptation to the application are possible due to freely programmable warnings and alerts
    • 3–8% energy savings are achieved as a result of Automatic Energy Optimization

One concrete example of how we differ from our competitors is in our motor and system independence. Danfoss drives are independent of control systems and motor technology. This freedom enables you to choose the motor technology and motor manufacturer that best suit your application to ensure its peak performance and optimized energy consumption. Making the right choice of drive and optimizing your entire system creates potential energy savings of up to 60%.
Using the automatic motor adaptation function, in less than three seconds, Danfoss AC drives can be configured to control the operation of any standard asynchronous (IM), permanent magnet (PM) or synchronous reluctance motor. Automatic motor adaptation can be performed when the drive is at standstill. And, as it doesn’t generate any torque on the shaft, it can be carried out on a motor that’s already installed.
With all motors controlled by the same drive, operators can use the same user and system interfaces, the same extensions, and the same proven, reliable technology over the entire power range. This saves commissioning time, reduces training costs, simplifies maintenance activities and keeps spare part stock levels to a minimum.

• enhance process control
• reduce energy usage and generate energy efficiently
• decrease mechanical stress on motor control applications
• optimize the operation of various applications relying on electric motors

Drives can also be utilized to convert energy from natural and renewable resources like the sun, wind or tides, and transmit it to the electrical network or use it for local consumption. In hybrid technologies, AC drives are used to combine conventional energy sources and energy storages to create total energy management solutions.

AC drives are also known by various other names such as adjustable speed drives, adjustable frequency drives, variable frequency drives, variable speed drives, frequency converters, inverters and power converters.

• Emerging economies are driving the increase in energy consumption
• 20% of the world’s energy consumption is electrical energy
• 40% of electrical energy is used by electrical motors
• 75% of AC drives are used on pumps and fans
• Global electrical energy consumption could be reduced by 10% if AC drives were used in every suitable application

The need for energy conservation in order to save the environment is a key driver in the development of speed control devices, and AC drives provide the optimum method of controlling the speed of electrical motors to match load demand. Even small changes in motor speed can cause significant changes in energy consumption.

AC drives are well hidden, but nevertheless they play a major and very necessary role in modern, everyday life by making the world and our way of living more sustainable.

The expected lifecycle of an AC drive is long and contains diverse phases, each with different characteristics and requirements. From engineering and dimensioning for a new installation through procurement, delivery and installation to the long usage phase, all activities contribute to the value chain and product’s lifecycle. Drive services have been designed to maximize the benefits by improving overall efficiency and profitability, and minimize the operational costs of the Danfoss AC-drive solution in any application or industry segment.

This drive gives you excellent motor control and mechanical brake performance.
