11 kW Variable Frequency Drives — Selection Guide
An 11 kW variable frequency drive (VFD) is the ideal choice for controlling medium-power three-phase asynchronous motors in industrial and utility applications. Smooth starting, speed regulation, and energy recovery can reduce electricity consumption by up to 50 % compared to direct-on-line starting. Browse the full range on the Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) catalogue page.
Where 11 kW VFDs are used
11 kW matches a 4–6 pole induction motor at 3×380 V mains supply. Typical applications include:
- Pumping stations — water supply, irrigation, heating systems and fire suppression. Smooth starting eliminates water hammer; PID control maintains pressure without frequent start/stop cycles.
- Industrial fans and blowers — factory ventilation, dryers, boiler rooms. A 20 % speed reduction cuts power consumption by nearly half following the cubic affinity law.
- Compressors and air blowers — soft start reduces inrush current from 6–7 × In down to 1.5 × In.
- Conveyors, screw feeders, mixers — precise speed control in food processing, chemical, and construction industries.
- Machine tools and woodworking equipment — milling machines, planers, and grinding machines with dynamic load profiles.

How to choose an 11 kW VFD
Consider the following parameters when selecting a drive:
- Input voltage: most models are rated for 3×380 V three-phase input. For a single-phase supply, the Veichi AC310-T/S2-011G-B supports 1×220 V input with 3×220 V output.
- Overload class: pumps and fans need only 110–120 % × 60 s (P-duty); compressors and conveyors require 150 % × 60 s (G-duty).
- Ingress protection: for outdoor or humid environments, choose IP21 models (Bosch Rexroth VFC/EFC range) or install a protective enclosure. IP20 is sufficient for dry control panels.
- Control algorithm: scalar V/F is adequate for pumps and fans; for hoists, machine tools, and extruders, select sensorless vector (SVC) or closed-loop FOC.
