The "Danfoss" Company and Its Frequency Converters
The company "Danfoss" specializes in the production of high-quality frequency converters designed for controlling power motors, as well as manufacturing auxiliary devices and components. This provides efficient technological solutions in drive control systems based on alternating current motors.
Geography of Production
The main production of frequency converters by "Danfoss" is located in Denmark. In addition, a facility in the USA specializes in the production of powerful models, while the Chinese division manufactures a variety of budget models.
Quality Control
The products manufactured by "Danfoss" undergo several stages of strict quality control. This includes monitoring the assembly process of components and a series of tests prior to shipment to the warehouse. The list of internal standards and requirements is quite extensive and spans several pages of printed tests.
Service Life and Maintenance
Among the frequency converter products manufactured by "Danfoss", record service life of about 10 years is noted. The converters require no current maintenance, except for periodic cleaning of the radiator in particularly polluted environments.
Environmental Safety
The "Danfoss" converters are equipped with a built-in electromagnetic compatibility filter, which minimizes the mutual harmful effects of nearby devices and eliminates the need for purchasing additional external filters.
VLT Micro Drive FC51 and VLT HVAC Basic FC101 Series
The converters of the VLT Micro Drive FC51 and VLT HVAC Basic FC101 series are made using a special anti-corrosion coating for printed circuit boards, making it possible to use these models in conditions of increased aggressiveness and humidity. This is especially relevant for water supply and purification systems.
The frequency converters VLT HVAC Basic FC101 are additionally equipped with a built-in harmonic filter that reduces negative impacts on power supply and extends the service life of the device itself. The presence of the filter also reduces energy losses in cables and transformers.
Energy Efficiency
The efficiency of the frequency converters from "Danfoss" averages around 98%, allowing for energy savings of 1-2% compared to similar products from other manufacturers. The main energy-saving effect is achieved through the automatic energy consumption optimization function (AEO). Additionally, this helps to reduce the level of acoustic noise during drive operation.
Automatic Motor Adaptation
To simplify the process of setting up drives using "Danfoss" converters, the automatic motor adaptation (AMA) function is provided. When connecting the converter to the motor without rotating the shaft, the necessary parameters for optimizing interaction modes are determined. This allows for setup to be carried out as quickly and simply as possible.
