Natural cooling means no integral fan — the heatsink relies on cabinet airflow, which matters in a sealed panel where the integrator must confirm the enclosure dissipates the drive's standing losses without forcing a derate. ## In-family stepping points The same VFD-E frame on 460 V three-phase is also offered at 0.75 kW (1 HP) — a half-step down for lighter loads without leaving the 460 V three-phase input class or the natural-cooled footprint.","metaTitle":"Delta VFD015E43A VFD-E Drive, 1.5 kW / 460 V 3-phase","metaDescription":"Delta VFD015E43A VFD-E variable frequency drive, 1.5 kW (2 HP) on 460 V three-phase mains, natural-cooled.

The '43' in the code denotes the 460 V three-phase mains class and the '015' denotes the 2 HP / 1.5 kW frame — matching the standard VFD-E series naming convention."},{"question":"Does the VFD015E43A need a panel fan for cooling?","answer":"No. The drive is specified as natural-cooled — no integral fan. Cabinet airflow has to carry the heatsink load; in a sealed enclosure the integrator should verify the thermal budget so the drive does not derate under continuous duty."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/delta/VFD015E43A","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/delta/VFD015E43A when reusing this data.
