Compact general-purpose drive
The VLT® Micro Drive is a general-purpose drive that can control AC motors up to 22 kW.

Compact design–Uncompromised quality

• Space saving
  A compact, book-style design allows side-by-side mounting without derating.

• Minimum penetration of dust
  VLT® Micro Drives are designed to keep the forced ventilation away from the electronics. Printed circuit boards are well-protected inside the drive.

• Built-in RFI
  Radio disturbance from motor cables is limited with the built-in RFI filter, which allows for 15 m motor cables (screened). Meets EU norms.

• Built-in brake functions
  With built-in DC and AC brake functions, VLT® Micro Drive can transform kinetic energy in the application into braking power to slow down the motor. A brake chopper is built into the drives from 1.5 kW upwards.

• Intelligent heat management
  Process heat is removed through the heat sink, leaving electronics protected from dust and dirt from production.

• Coated electronics are standard
  All VLT® Micro Drives use coated electronics for a longer lifetime and reliability.

• Effective heat sink
  An effective heat sink removes heat from the electronics and extends the lifetime and reliability of the drive.

• Energy efficiency 98%
  High-quality VLT® power modules ensure the cool running of the drive due to low losses.

• 50° ambient temperature
  Highly efficient cooling allows up to 50° ambient temperature.

Hot pluggable display with or without potentiometer

• Two control panel versions. The potentiometer is optional.

The control panels are shown in actual size.

• Easy shortcut for the experienced user
• Edit and operate in different set-ups simultaneously

Built-in Smart Logic Controller

• The smart logic controller is a simple, yet clever, way to make your drive, motor and application work seamlessly together.
• The smart logic controller can monitor any parameter that can be characterized as “true” or “false”.
• This includes digital commands and also logic expressions, which allow even sensor outputs to influence the operation.
• Temperature, pressure, flow, time, load, frequency, voltage and other parameters combined with the operators “>”, “<”, “=”, “and” and “or” form logic expressions that are true or false. That is why Danfoss calls it a “logic” controller. As a result of this, you can program the controller to react to literally any event.

Option VLT Line Filter MCC 107

Improve both the low and high-frequency performance of the line current to the drive with the optional VLT® Micro Drive Line Filter, which boosts efficiency by combining a harmonic filter and an EMC filter.

Increased drive lifetime
Reducing the voltage ripple on the DC link will result in higher reliability and a longer drive lifetime. Under similar running conditions (temperature, load), the expected lifetime of the DC capacitors may be extended by 2-3 times.

Improved power-factor
The VLT® Line Filter reduces the RMS value of line current. A smaller line current means a higher true power factor (PF). Typically, line current can be reduced by more than 40% and improve PF from 0.4 to 0.7 for single-phase drives and 0.47 to 0.9 for three-phase drives.

Improved high-frequency conduction EMC performance

• The VLT® Line Filter ensures compliance with EN 55011 class A1 for up to 50 m of motor cable, and class B for up to 10 m of motor cable.
• That means the VLT® Micro Drive + VLT® Line Filter, has an outstanding EMC performance in the micro-inverter class, even with relatively long motor cables.

High immunity against grid disturbances

• The line filter will reduce the harmonic current drawn from the grid.
• The drive will comply with IEC 61000-2-2 and IEC 6100-2-4 without power derating, including 15% harmonic voltage distortion, 3% voltage imbalance and commutation notches, as described in IEC 60146-1. With the line filter, the performance of the immunity to the surge and burst impact of the drive stated in IEC61800-3 will be greatly improved.

One filter for several drives
The line filter can be used for filtering several small VLT®Micro Drives. In this case, the line filter should be derated by one size.

Example:
1 x FC 51 400 V/1.5 kW + 1 x FC 51 400 V/1,5 kW -> total 3.0 kW + derating one size up: select filter 400 V/4.0 kW.

Frame sizes
Three different frame sizes of line filters correspond to the M1, M2 and M3 enclosures of the VLT® Micro Drive.
