Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the advantage of the wide frequency range (0.1-500 Hz)?

It allows for very low-speed control with high torque (at low frequencies) and the ability to run special motors at high speeds, offering great flexibility for diverse applications.

Why is the built-in EMC filter important?

It suppresses electrical noise generated by the drive's switching operation. This prevents interference with other sensitive electronic equipment nearby, ensuring overall system reliability.

Is the operator panel removable?

Typically, yes. The operator panel on these drives can often be removed and mounted remotely using an extension kit for convenient access in hard-to-reach installations.

Can this drive be used on a 380V or 400V power system?

No. The VFS15-4055PL-W1 is specifically designed for a 460V AC, three-phase supply. Using it on a lower voltage system can lead to improper operation and potential damage.

What basic protection features does it have?

Standard protections include overload, overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, and overtemperature protection to safeguard both the drive and the motor.
