Product details

The 480 V +/- 10 % supply voltage covers the standard North American 480 V industrial bus. Three-phase input only — no single-phase fallback. The IP23 enclosure is vented for forced-convection cooling. Ambient temperature range is 0–40 °C without derating, then derates linearly up to 50 °C. Altitude derating starts at 1000 m: 1 % per 100 m up to 2000 m. Communications are covered: Modbus serial, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP on board. That's enough for most PLC integrations without an extra option card. The drive also meets IEC 61800-3 EMC levels for industrial environments, with surge immunity at level 3 and fast-transient at level 4.

Integration notes

Mounting is vertical +/- 10 degrees. The enclosure is light grey RAL 7035. Vibration resistance is 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 3–20 Hz and 0.6 gn at 10–200 Hz, which is typical for floor-standing gear — no special isolation pad needed unless the floor sees heavy forklift traffic. Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1 means the drive is rated for non-conductive dust only. If your environment has conductive dust (carbon, metal fines), you'll need to either relocate the cabinet or add filtered positive-pressure ventilation.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance standards does this drive meet?

It carries CE marking and complies with IEC 60204-1, IEC 61800-2, IEC 61800-3, and IEC 61800-5-1. EMC immunity tests include electrostatic discharge (level 3), radiated RF (level 3), fast transients (level 4), surge (level 3), and conducted RF (level 3).

What motors can this drive control?

It is designed for both asynchronous (induction) and synchronous motors, including permanent-magnet types.
