When it may not be suitable

This drive is rated with an IP20 protection level, meaning it is not suitable for environments exposed to dust, moisture, or direct water spray without an additional protective enclosure. It is also not intended for applications requiring power ratings significantly higher than 2.2kW or for single-phase power supply systems.

Key specifications

• Power rating: 2.2kW
• Input voltage: 3x400V
• Output current: 5.8A
• Protection rating: IP20
• Control type: Variable frequency motor control

How to use

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical codes. The drive must be mounted in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated enclosure to ensure proper heat dissipation. Connect the three-phase power supply to the input terminals and the motor leads to the output terminals, ensuring all connections are secure and properly grounded. Once installed, use the integrated interface to set the required parameters such as acceleration, deceleration, and frequency limits to match the specific application requirements.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the motor power rating matches the 2.2kW capacity of the drive.
• Ensure the installation environment meets the IP20 protection requirements.
• Check that the available power supply is 3x400V.
• Assess the need for additional external filters or braking resistors based on the specific application.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the drive is properly grounded and that the motor is compatible with variable frequency drive operation to prevent insulation damage. Regularly inspect the cooling vents to keep them free of dust and debris to maintain optimal thermal performance.
