Fact Sheet: VLT® Enclosed Drives
Extended functionality and real LHD for
high-performance operation
VLT® Enclosed Drives have been designed to meet the most demanding requirements for flexibility, robustness,
compactness and service-friendliness, making them a smart choice for diverse applications. They are ideal for low
harmonic drive (LHD) usage, with outstanding harmonic mitigation performance.
VLT® Enclosed Drives are
configurable with input/output filters,
control and enclosure options to meet
practically all requirements of the
application, eliminating the need for an
extra enclosure.
Selectable input/output filters ensure
highest quality of the voltage on
motor terminals, as well as the lowest
harmonics content of mains currents –
TDD <3% and it is a best choice, when
harmonics frequencies above 2 kHz in
the power supply network is a concern
to fulfil the IEC 61000-2-4 requirements
for harmonics up to 9 kHz.

Back-channel cooling
A unique ducted back-channel passes
cooling air over heat sinks with minimal
air passing through the electronics area.
There is an IP54/Type 12 seal between
the back-channel cooling duct and
the electronics area of the VLT® drive.
This allows 90% of the heat losses to
be exhausted directly outside of the
enclosure, improving reliability and
prolonging life by dramatically reducing
temperature rise and contamination
of the electronic components. Input/
output filters also use the IP54/ Type 12
-rated back-channel for cooling.

Eliminate the need for an extra cabinet when options are required. Save cost on equipment and
reduce space requirements.
Reduce the scale of air conditioning required for the room, and even reduce the room size, for savings
in up-front cost and operating expenses.
Know one drive, know them all. Save time and cost for training, service, ordering and spare parts
logistics.
Ensure highest quality of the voltage on motor terminals, as well as the lowest harmonics content of
the mains currents.
