3.2.7 Panel Through Mounting A Panel Through mount kit is available for adjustable frequency drive series VLT HVAC Drive, VLT Aqua Drive and . In order to increase heatsink cooling and reduce panel depth, the adjustable frequency drive may be mounted in a through panel. Furthermore, the built- in fan can then be removed.
Short circuit protection The adjustable frequency drive must be protected against short-circuit to avoid electrical or fire hazard. Danfoss recommends using the fuses mentioned below to protect service personnel or other equipment in case of an internal failure in the unit. The adjustable frequency drive provides full short circuit protection in case of a short circuit in the motor output.
Page 20
Non-UL compliance If UL/cUL is not to be complied with, Danfoss recommends using the fuses mentioned in the table below, which will ensure compliance with EN50178. In case of malfunction, not following the recommendation may result in unnecessary damage to the adjustable frequency drive.

Example 1: Multi-zone, single setpoint In an office building, a VAV (variable air volume) VLT HVAC Drive system must ensure a minimum pressure at selected VAV boxes. Due to the varying pressure losses in each duct, the pressure at each VAV box cannot be assumed to be the same. The minimum pressure required is the same for all VAV Feedback Function boxes.
