VLT® HVAC Drive FC 102


Get even more drive in your HVAC – with rock-bottom lifecycle costs in any climate

 

Get even higher reliability and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) in your heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) installations, with this unique VSD optimized for building automation systems.

More than ever, the extreme climates, inaccessible machine rooms and isolated outposts of our planet need the best process control there is for their HVAC installations. Your everyday critical functions and costly systems need it too, as they face ever-increasing competition and efficiency demands. Always with high performance in mind, the enhanced VLT® HVAC Drive gives you more room to maneuver. It confronts the issues and gives you rock-solid reliability. With rock-bottom lifecycle costs too.

Features and benefits

 

Slim down your TCO. Ongoing demands for lower TCO are challenges the VLT® HVAC Drive can help you meet.

Install it outdoors in extreme climates. Searing heat and deep frost are all in a day’s work for the enhanced VLT® HVAC Drive. You get full reliability running this drive outdoors with temperature extremes from 50°C to minus 25°C.

Save time. You can parameterize and troubleshoot the drive from outside the AHU, thanks to the remote LCP. Maximize uptime by reducing the shutdown, since there is no need to open up the AHU and lock it down again afterwards.

Get the freedom to choose your favorite motor. Choose exactly the motor you prefer, for whatever reason from supply security to performance optimization. The enhanced VLT® HVAC Drive is not only optimized to control induction, permanent magnet and synchronous reluctance motor technologies; our development team is working all the time to include compatibility with upcoming motor technologies in future software updates as well.

Get the freedom to communicate. The ability to integrate the AC drive easily into your building automation system is a key to optimal control. The VLT® HVAC Drive features a number of HVAC-specific communication protocols, such as BACnet/IP, that give you flexibility of installation in both new and existing building automation systems.

Features and benefits

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.
