Who makes vacon drives? ›

VACON® NXS | Danfoss.

The VLT® AutomationDrive is designed for variable speed control of all asynchronous motors and permanent magnet motors. It comes in a standard version (FC 301) and an advanced high dynamic version (FC 302) with additional functionalities.

A low-voltage drive covers a voltage range from 100 to 690 Volt and power from several watts to megawatts. The drive system is connected to the grid and generates a 3-phase voltage which is variable in amplitude and frequency. This enables control of the electrical motor in torque and speed.

A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the input electricity.

In 2014, Danfoss purchased Vacon.

The recommended VLT for all conditions (ie. one lens for everything) is usually around the 30% mark as it gives a good amount of sun protection while not being too dark for low light days.

The main difference between VLT and switch stacking lies in their implementation and capabilities. VLT provides a more resilient and fault-tolerant solution for high availability networks, while switch stacking is more focused on scalability and simplifying network management.

Visible light transmittance (VLT) is a third rating that's related to the solar heat gain coefficient. It measures how much light in the visible spectrum passes through the glass of a window or door. Like SHGC and U-value, VLT is measured as a ratio between zero and one.

A variable frequency drive (VFD) refers to AC drives only and a variable speed drive (VSD) refers to either AC Drives or DC Drives. VFDs vary the speed of an AC motor by varying the frequency to the motor. VSDs referring to DC motors vary the speed by varying the voltage to the motor.

Undervoltage is also a problem we often encounter in use. The main reason is that the voltage of the main circuit is too low (380V series is lower than 400V). The main reason is that one of the rectifier bridges is damaged or the three thyristors are not working properly, which may lead to undervoltage faults.

Why is low voltage bad? ›

Just as higher voltages can help reduce motor operating temperatures, low voltage is a major cause of motor overheating and premature failure. A low voltage forces a motor to draw extra current to deliver the power expected of it thus overheating the motor windings.

Allen‑Bradley DC drives solutions can meet the needs of a wide range of demanding applications. PowerFlex DC drives deliver highly functional, cost-effective drive and control solutions. They are easily configured for most applications. They are designed for DC motor applications and retrofits up to 6000 Hp / 4000 kW.

HP sources their drives from several manufacturers like Seagate, Hitachi, etc.

Konrad Marine designs and manufactures stern drives for commercial, military, and recreational applications.
