160 kW Variable Frequency Drives — Power for Heavy Industrial Loads

A 160 kW variable frequency drive (VFD) is a high-power AC drive designed to control three-phase asynchronous motors in heavy industrial environments. Supply voltage: 3x380V, output current: 290–310 A. The VFD catalogue at chastotnik.ua offers 11 models from 10 leading manufacturers at 160.0 kW, available in stock and to order.

Applications for 160 kW VFDs

160 kW corresponds to motors with a rated current of approximately 300–310 A. This power class is required in the following industrial scenarios:

  • Pump stations — flow control for water supply and wastewater systems (municipal infrastructure pumps, high-pressure industrial pumps).
  • Industrial ventilation and exhaust systems — large fans in boiler rooms, metallurgy, and chemical plants.
  • Compressor units — air and process compressors with pressure and flow regulation.
  • Hoisting and transport equipment — gantry cranes, overhead cranes, mine hoists.
  • Conveyor lines and crushers — heavy drives for quarrying and mining machinery.
  • Rolling mills and presses — precision speed control in metallurgical production.

Using a VFD instead of direct-on-line starting reduces energy consumption by up to 50–60% on pumps and fans due to the quadratic relationship between power consumption and motor speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a variable frequency drive and how does it work?

A VFD is an electronic device that converts AC mains voltage to DC (rectifier stage), then back to AC with adjustable frequency and amplitude (inverter stage). By varying the output frequency from 0 to 600 Hz, it smoothly controls the rotational speed of an AC induction motor from standstill to rated speed and beyond, while limiting starting current to 1.5× rated.

How do I size a VFD for my motor?

The VFD power rating should equal or exceed the motor nameplate power. For pumps and fans (variable torque), select based on the motor rating. For conveyors, cranes, and crushers (constant torque or heavy starting), choose one power step above — for example, for a 4 kW conveyor motor, we recommend a 5.5 kW VFD. Also verify that the motor's rated current does not exceed the VFD's current rating.

Can I run a three-phase 380V motor from a single-phase 220V supply?

Yes, you need a VFD with single-phase 220V input and three-phase 380V output, such as the Veichi AC70E or AC10 T/S2 variant. Power is limited to 2.2–4 kW depending on the series. The VFD not only starts the motor but also provides soft starting, speed control, and overload protection.

What is the difference between scalar and vector control?

Scalar control (V/f) maintains a constant voltage-to-frequency ratio — a simple, reliable method for pumps, fans, and compressors. Vector control (SVC, FOC) calculates motor current and flux vectors in real time, delivering 150–200% rated torque at low frequencies. Vector control is essential for conveyors, elevators, extruders, cranes, and CNC machine tools.

Why do I need an EMC filter in a VFD?

An EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) filter reduces high-frequency interference that the VFD generates in the power supply and airwaves. It is mandatory for facilities with sensitive equipment (medical, laboratories, server rooms), residential buildings, and when the cable between VFD and motor exceeds 25 m. The Veichi AC10, Delta VFD-E, and INVT GD20 models include a built-in Class C3 EMC filter.

How much energy does a VFD save?

On pumps and fans, savings range from 20% to 60% depending on the load profile. Power is proportional to the cube of speed (P∝n³): reducing speed by 20% halves energy consumption. If equipment typically operates at 70–80% of rated speed, average savings are approximately 40%. Payback period for a VFD on a pumping station is 6 to 18 months.
