Product Overview

The Danfoss VACON0020-3L-0009-4 is a compact VACON 20 variable frequency drive for three-phase 380-480 VAC motor-control systems. It is rated for approximately 4 kW or 5 HP motors and provides a nominal output-current rating of 9 A.

The drive uses the MI3 mechanical frame and is suitable for pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers, packaging machinery, ventilation systems and other small- to medium-power industrial applications.

The standard model reference identifies the voltage and current class. Regional configuration differences may include EMC options, keypad arrangement and accessories. The full original nameplate should be used when checking replacement compatibility.

Technical Specifications

Compatible System and Applications

The VACON0020-3L-0009-4 is suitable for industrial pumps, fans, small conveyors, mixers, ventilation systems, packaging equipment and general machinery operating within its voltage and current limits.

Motor compatibility must be checked using the motor full-load current and operating duty. High starting torque, frequent acceleration or rapid stopping may require additional engineering review.

The existing PLC commands, analog references, digital inputs, relay functions, motor protection and external interlocks should be documented before replacement.

Maintenance and Replacement Notes

Record the complete original drive reference and nameplate details. Do not confuse this model with VACON0020-1L-0009-2 or other voltage and phase configurations.

Save all available parameters, including motor data, speed limits, acceleration and deceleration times, current limits, analog scaling and digital-input assignments.

The Danfoss iC2-Micro series may be considered as an engineering migration candidate. A conversion requires checking the mechanical footprint, wiring, I/O, communication, motor control, braking and parameter mapping.

Related Models

Related three-phase 380-480 VAC models include VACON0020-3L-0008-4, VACON0020-3L-0012-4 and VACON0020-3L-0016-4.

The single-phase VACON0020-1L-0009-2 has a similar current code but a different supply-phase and voltage configuration and is not a direct replacement.
