Optimized for basic operation
of fans, pumps and compressors, the
VLT® HVAC Basic Drive has built-in
functions that reduce initial costs and
increase productivity.

Available enclosure ratings

IP20

IP21/UL Type 1 (separate option kit)

IP54

This drive is the most compact unit
in its class, and can deliver up to 25%
energy savings. Integrated DC coils re­duce harmonics without the extra cost
and space required for external devices.

Feature Benefit

All built-in – low investment

Most common HVAC protocols for BMS
controller connectivity are embedded

Built-in PI controller No external PI controller required
Smart Logic Controller Often makes PLC unnecessary
Sensorless pump control No need for external pressure transmitter

Save energy – less operation cost

Flow compensation function Saves energy
Automatic Energy Optimizer function Saves additional 5-15% energy
PM motor control in open loop Increased efficiency especially at part load
Sleep mode Saves energy and extends lifetime

Unequalled robustness – maximum uptime

Robust single enclosure Maintenance-free
Unique variable-speed cooling concept with no

forced air flow over electronics
Max ambient temp. up to 50° C No external cooling
Flying Start Reduced mechanical wear on equipment
Fire override mode Enhanced safety
Thermistor input Prevents motor overheating

User friendly – save commissioning and operating cost

Operate both PM and induction motors Versatile, only one drive type required
Easy connectability and start-up wizard Effective commissioning and operation

Alpha-numeric display/improved HMI

Cooling fan operation adjusts precisely to load Silent or low noise level only
Auto restart Saves time and money
Bypass frequencies Less noise and vibrations/resonances
Global HVAC support organization Local service – globally

Built-in DC coils and EMC filters – no harmonic concerns

Built-in EMC filter Meets protection class C1, C2 or C3
Integrated DC choke Small power cables. Meets EN 61000-3-12

Fewer extra gateway solutions needed

Problem-free operation in harsh environments

Display in multiple languages and
metric/imperial units
