AC10-T3-011G-B Variable Frequency Drive AC10 | 11 кВт 3ф/380

The AC10 frequency converter from Veichi (SKU: AC10-T3-011G-B) is an inverter-class device with a nominal power of 11 kW, designed for use in three-phase networks with a voltage of 380 V. The device provides stable control of electric motors thanks to the built-in PLC and a wide range of control modes, including scalar, vector without encoder, as well as linear and quadratic U/f laws. Integrated RS-485/Modbus interfaces allow the system to easily interact with other automation components. A significant number of discrete and analog inputs and outputs, combined with support for the ModBus RTU protocol, ensure high compatibility with various industrial systems. The device can be used to optimize the operation of electric motors in production processes, in the management of pumping stations or ventilation systems. It is effectively used in cooling systems, where precise control of rotational speeds is an important aspect of process control. The technical specifications allow the device to be integrated into automated production lines, ensuring stable operation of equipment. With a wide range of functions and adaptive control modes, the device finds applications in both traditional industrial processes and modern energy-saving systems.

Veichi AC10 — compact VFD for pumps, fans and simple drives

AC10 is the smallest drive in the Veichi range. It covers 0.75 to 22 kW and fits in your palm (177×65 mm for the smaller models). We've supplied over 150 units in the last two years — most went to borehole pumps on private properties and small workshop fans.

The main advantage: it runs off a generator without tripping. A built-in kinetic buffer uses the motor's inertia during a voltage dip — the drive doesn't shut down, it just lowers the frequency for a fraction of a second. For farms and sites without a stable grid, that's critical.

What AC10 is good for

• Borehole pumps 0.75–2.2 kW (1ph/220V): the most popular use. Built-in PID holds pressure, sleep mode shuts the pump off once pressure is reached — saving energy and wear. Setup: VFD for a borehole pump.
• Exhaust fans 0.75–7.5 kW: scalar U/f mode, smooth jerk-free start.
• Packaging machines 0.75–4 kW: sensorless vector, 600 Hz max — suits high-speed spindles.
• Woodworking 2.2–7.5 kW: routers, edgebanders — the compact body saves cabinet space.

Comparison with alternatives

Parameter	Veichi AC10	Delta VFD-EL	INVT GD10
Power	0.75–22 kW	0.2–22 kW	0.4–15 kW
Max frequency	600 Hz	400 Hz	400 Hz
Sleep mode (PID)	Yes	No	No
Braking unit	Built-in	External	External

AC10 wins on two things: 600 Hz for high-speed motors and a built-in braking unit (external on Delta and INVT). But if you need CANopen or Profibus — none of AC10, GD10 or VFD-EL have them: then look at the AC310 with expansion cards.

AC10 parameters that save you on commissioning

• Reverse without swapping phases: direction changes in software via F07.05 (units digit = 1 to invert). No need to touch the terminal block. Step by step: motor reverse on Veichi.
• Start from terminals, not the keypad: F01.01=1 moves the RUN command to the control board terminals (then pick 2-/3-wire mode in F05.20), wire the Start button to COM. Remote control.
• External potentiometer: F11.30=1 switches the serial port to an external keypad with a potentiometer (RJ45). While the port is used for the potentiometer, Modbus over RS485 is temporarily unavailable — that's expected. How to connect a potentiometer.
• Auto-restart after a voltage dip: F07.06=1 (on AC10 the range is only 0~1), restart wait time is F07.07 = 0.00–60.00 s. On a generator it keeps the pump running without a manual restart. Auto-restart after E.Lu.
• Braking resistor: for frequent braking the resistance is chosen by power (for 1ph/220V: 0.75 kW ≈200 Ω, 1.5 kW ≈100 Ω, 2.2 kW ≈75 Ω) — this clears the DC-bus overvoltage (E.OU2 on deceleration). Choosing a braking resistor.

When AC10 is NOT the right choice

• Power above 22 kW — you need Veichi AC310 (up to 400 kW)
• Servo, precise positioning — you need a Veichi SD700 servo drive
• Crane, lift, heavy load — Veichi AC70 with STO
• Profibus/CANopen fieldbus — AC310 with expansion cards

Our experience

Motor auto-tuning (parameter F02.07) is probably the handiest feature. It saves about 15 minutes on every commissioning: the drive measures the winding parameters itself, so you don't have to find the nameplate and type values in by hand. On farms with old, undocumented motors that's a lifesaver. The rest of the typical settings are in one place: Veichi basic setup.
