Maximum energy efficiency for water and wastewater applications

 
The VLT® AQUA Drive is designed to provide the highest level of performance of AC-motor-driven water and wastewater applications. Featuring a wide range of powerful standard features, which can be expanded with performance-improving options, the drive is equally suited to both new and retrofit projects.
 

The considerable daily load variation in water or wastewater treatment plants makes it economically feasible to introduce motor control on rotating equipment such as pumps and blowers. The new generation VLT AQUA Drive can realistically offer first-year cost savings of between 10–30% compared to traditional drive solutions. Its high lifetime availability and low energy consumption and maintenance costs provide you with the lowest cost of ownership.

The quick and user-friendly setup of water and pump settings reduces installation time ensuring a fast route to maximum energy efficiency and motor control. By collecting the most important parameters in one place, the risk of incorrect configuration is reduced significantly.

Features and benefits

Assets are protected thanks to specially designed software that prevents, for example, water hammering

Energy efficiency is maximized as a result of the drives control algorithms and design which focus on reducing heat loss

High energy savings related to air conditioning are ensured due to the unique back-channel-cooling concept that transfers 90% of heat away from the room

Electromagnetic interference and harmonic distortion are reduced thanks to the built-in, scalable RFI filter and integrated DC link chokes

Perfect system integration and adaptation to the application are possible due to freely programmable warnings and alerts

3–8% energy savings are achieved as a result of Automatic Energy Optimization

Range 
0.25 - 37 kW (200 - 240 V)
0.37 kW - 1 MW (380 - 500 V)
0.75 - 75 KW (525 - 600V)
1.1 kW – 1.2 MW (525 - 690V) 

Enclosures 
The drive meets requirements for enclosure class IP 20/Chassis. Optional IP21/NEMA 1, IP55/NEMA 12, IP 54/NEMA 12 or IP66 NEMA 4X. 

Smart logic controller
The VLT® AutomationDrive features logic control functions and a sequence control based on events and actions.

Safety 
The drive is delivered as standard with the Safe Torque Off (Safe Stop) function, in compliance with EN ISO 13849-1 Category 3 PL d and SIL 2 according to IEC 61508 low demand and high demand mode. STO can be extended to comply to PL e / SIL 3. 
The safety functions can be extended to include SS1, SLS, SMS, SSM, safe jog mode etc. with the VLT® Safe Option MCB140 Series and VLT® Safe Option MCB150 Series.

Hot pluggable LCP 
The Local Control Panel (LCP) can be plugged in or out during operation. Settings are easily transferred via the control panel from one drive to another or from a PC with set-up software. 

Coated circuit boards 
The VLT® AutomationDrive conforms to class 3C2 (IEC 60721-3-3) as standard. If used in especially harsh conditions it is possible to order a special coating that complies with class 3C3.

Ruggedized for extra protection 
The AutomationDrive is available in a ‘ruggedized’ version, that ensures that components remain firmly in place in environments characterized by high degrees of vibration such as marine and mobile equipment.

PM motor support 
Support for any non salient permanent magnet motor for better system efficiency in both VVC+ and FLUX mode.

 

Features and benefits

Intelligent heat management 
Cooling can take place in two ways to offer different sets of benefits. Forced convection cooling: A fan blows cold air through the cooling ribs of the aluminium base to remove heat. The channel is easily cleaned without touching electronics. Cold plate cooling: External cooling is possible through the back side of the aluminium base. Panel through mounting: Electronics inside cabinet - power heat sink outside cabinet. Duct cooling: Air from the control room – or from outside – cools the heat sink without contact to the electronics.

Accessories 
For the VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 a wide selection of accessories is available to suit your needs. For further details see Operation Instruction.
