Product Overview

The Danfoss VACON 0100-3L-0170-5 is a catalog-listed base reference from the VACON 100 INDUSTRIAL drive family for three-phase 380-500 VAC motor-control systems.

The rating provides 170 A continuous current under low-overload duty and is positioned for approximately 90 kW motor operation at 400 VAC. For high-overload constant-torque applications, the corresponding rating is approximately 140 A and 75 kW.

This base model uses the MR8 mechanical frame. The complete factory configuration may represent a wall-mounted drive, an IP00 power module or an enclosed-drive assembly. Product form, protection class and installed hardware must be verified before supply.

Technical Specifications

Compatible System and Applications

The VACON 0100-3L-0170-5 can be considered for heavy conveyors, compressors, extruders, mixers, process lines, pumps, fans, material-handling machinery and industrial production systems.

Applications with continuous high torque, repeated starts or frequent overload should be selected according to the 140 A high-overload current and 75 kW high-overload motor rating.

Mechanical compatibility depends on the supplied product form. Cabinet dimensions, cooling airflow, cable entry, power terminals and service access must be confirmed before installation.

Maintenance and Replacement Notes

The base rating does not establish whether the unit is a wall-mounted drive, an IP00 module or an enclosed product. Request the complete factory code and nameplate before preparing a replacement quotation.

Verify motor-control mode, feedback requirements, communication interface, I/O functions, braking system, control-unit hardware and application software.

Save the complete parameter set and document motor values, current limits, speed references, ramp times, terminal assignments, network settings and fault history.
