Description
The Danfoss VLT 5052 is a 45 kW frequency converter from the VLT 5000 series for 3 x 525-690 V supplies. Danfoss's VLT 5000 design guide gives it an output current of 76 A at normal overload (110 %), with separate ratings for high overload (160 %); the full electrical data from the design guide is listed below. Danfoss's product page states that the VLT 5000 has reached the Inactive phase of its lifecycle, meaning it is discontinued and no longer in production, and names iC7-Automation as its successor.
Application: AC motor speed control
Used with: Three-phase AC motors
What is the VLT 5052 525-690 V used for?
It controls the speed of a three-phase AC motor on pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and process machinery. A failed unit stops the motor it drives.
Key features
- 45 kW at normal overload
- Output current 76 A at normal overload
- Mains supply 3 x 525-690 V
- Separate ratings for normal (110 %) and high (160 %) overload
- Discontinued by Danfoss; successor iC7-Automation
OEM successor to VLT 5052 525-690 V
iC7-Automation is named by Danfoss as the successor. It is an upgrade, not a like-for-like spare: check wiring, I/O and configuration for your installation before ordering it. Contact sales@timcontrols.com if you need one.
