Fact Sheet
NEMA 3R Rated VLT® AQUA Drive
The VLT® AQUA Drive withstands outdoor environments. A NEMA/UL Type 3R rated enclosure, and standard 1,000-foot motor cable runs, provide maximum mounting flexibility.
Power range:
1-phase, 200–240 VAC: 1.5–30 HP1-phase, 380–480 VAC: 10–50 HP3-phase, 200–240 VAC: 1/3–60 HP3-phase, 380–480 VAC: 1/2–450 HP3-phase, 525–690 VAC: 15–400 HP
Perfect
tool for: lift stations, pump stations, golf courses, irrigation, and other outdoor applications
Suitable for installations that require protection against rain or splashing water, NEMA/UL Type 3R rated variable frequency drives can be installed directly at the equipment location without an additional protective enclosure. The variable frequency drive is built with all cast aluminum parts so that the enclosure will not rust.

Reliable
Robust, single enclosure
Unique cooling concept with no ambient air flow through electronics housing
Phase Conversion
For remote areas such as lift stations or farming fields where 3-phase power is not available, single-phase drives offer phase conversion and speed control in a single, compact package. Phase-converting VLT® AQUA Drives enable the use of cost-effective three-phase motors with only single-phase, 240 VAC or 480 VAC service.
