Variable Speed Drives VLG3 Series from LOVATO

LOVATO Electric expands its range of variable speed drives with the new VLG3 series, with three-phase power supply 380…480VAC 50/60Hz.

The new VLG3 series range includes sizes from 0.4 to 22kW and integrates an EMC filter and a braking chopper as standard.

The compact enclosure allows side-by-side installation, with the possibility of mounting on a DIN rail or with screws.

On the front of the drive, there is a keypad with a 7-segment LED display for configuration, a potentiometer for frequency adjustment, and an RJ45 connector for connecting peripheral devices such as the optional remote keypad or the cable for PC connection for programming via VLGXSW software.

The hardware equipment is completed by the built-in RS485 serial port with Modbus-RTU protocol, for interfacing in a control and supervision network or communication with masters such as PLC or HMI. Alternatively, the drive can be equipped with an Ethernet communication port via an optional Modbus-TCP module that installs on the front.

The range of the new VLG3 series is cULus certified, an essential requirement for sale in the North American market.
