45 kW VFD: what jobs we ship it for
45 kW units we ship for 45 kW 380 V motors with nominal current around 90 A. Typical customer this year: cement and woodworking screw compressors 8-9 m³/min. Trunk water supply pumps for district utilities. Aspiration units in big flour and feed plants. Concrete mixers like SB-138. Scraper conveyors for grain elevators. On 37 kW these jobs do not hold: inrush 250+ A, the 37 kW drive trips on OC within 0.3 seconds.
From the grid: 3-phase 380 V, the 660 V option exists for heavy industry (INVT GD350-045G-6, rare). Rated draw 90 A, breaker 125 A C-curve, cable 35 mm² copper up to 30 m (recalc beyond). Veichi AC70-T3-045G/055P per datasheet holds 150% for 60 s (G mode, for crushers) and 110% continuously (P mode, for pumps). G/P switched from the keypad. INVT GD200A-045G/055P the same, plus a wider set of communication protocols (Modbus RTU, Profibus, CANopen via separate card).
Which model we ship in 8 out of 10 cases
From main stock: Veichi AC70-T3-045G/055P (mid-tier, our top product in this band, in stock monthly). INVT GD200A-045G/055P (European feature equivalent). Schneider ATV630 and ATV930 when the customer asks for Europe and accepts 7-14 days. Delta VFD450C43S, Mitsubishi FR-F840: ship to order from Taiwan and Japan warehouses. ABB ACS580-01-087A-4 we ship when the site is already on ABB. Veichi SI23-T3-045G-A (solarized, MPPT 200-820 V) we ship for 45 kW solar pump stations without batteries.
Before paying we ask. First: load type G or P? Crusher, compressor, shock-load conveyor (G); pump or fan (P). This decides 45 kW in G or 37 kW in P. Second: braking resistor. For a 45 kW centrifuge the BR draws 11-15 kW. Without it OU within 0.7 s. Third: cable length. Over 30 m a du/dt filter is required; over 100 m a sine filter. Fourth: ambient IP. Base drive is IP20; for dusty production we ship in a separate IP54 cabinet. 2-year warranty, 1-3 day delivery from our Kyiv warehouse.
