Product Overview

The Danfoss VACON NXL00235C5H1SSS0000 is a complete VACON NXL legacy variable frequency drive reference for three-phase 380-500 VAC motor-control systems.

The drive has a 23 A low-overload or fan-and-pump current rating and is commonly positioned for approximately 11 kW motor applications at 400 VAC. For high-overload operation, the corresponding rating is approximately 16 A and 7.5 kW.

The C5 section identifies an IP54 or NEMA 12 enclosure configuration. This protected construction is relevant to machinery installed outside a clean electrical cabinet or in environments requiring greater protection from dust and water ingress.

The complete NXL00235C5H1SSS0000 model should be used in the website Model field. The shorter NXL00235 base code remains useful as a series and rating keyword but is insufficient for exact replacement.

Technical Specifications

Compatible System and Applications

The NXL00235C5H1SSS0000 is suitable for pumps, fans, mixers, conveyors, compressors and general industrial equipment operating within its voltage, current and overload limits.

The low-duty 11 kW positioning is typically appropriate for variable-torque loads such as pumps and fans. Machinery with high starting torque, frequent acceleration or impact loading should be evaluated according to the lower high-duty rating.

IP54 construction does not remove the need to verify ambient temperature, ventilation clearance, cable glands and mounting orientation.

Configuration Variants

Related market-listed configurations include:

• NXL00235C2H1SSS0000 — related C2 configuration
• NXL00235C2H1SSS00AA — related complete reference with an AA trailing code
• NXL00235C2H1SSV0000 — related SSV hardware configuration
• NXL00235C2H1SSS00AI — related configuration with an AI trailing code

The AA and AI trailing references may indicate different installed expansion arrangements. The SSV configuration may use a different hardware treatment from the SSS version. These references should remain separate during quotation.

Search and Marketplace Aliases

Search listings may show NXL00235C5H1SSS00, NXL00235C5H1SSS or NXL00235-C5H1SSS-0000.

Shortened marketplace forms should not replace the full nameplate code when selecting a drive for installation.

Maintenance and Replacement Notes

Back up all parameters and record the motor current, control mode, frequency limits, ramp times, process references, digital commands, relay outputs and braking settings.

Confirm the MF5 frame, IP54 enclosure, EMC arrangement, brake-chopper configuration, hardware revision, firmware and installed application software.

A used drive requires functional testing of the cooling system, power stage, DC bus, keypad and control terminals. A display-only power-up test is insufficient.

Related Models

Related base ratings include NXL00165, NXL00315, NXL00385 and NXL00465. Higher-current models are not direct substitutes unless the complete electrical and mechanical system is reviewed.

Inquiry and Supply Notes

Please provide the complete nameplate, motor data, supply voltage, application duty, enclosure requirement, parameter backup, braking resistor and control-wiring information.

Condition, exact configuration, firmware, testing status, regional availability and delivery time must be confirmed before quotation.
