VLT 2800 Design Guide Software version: 2.9x This Design Guide can be used for all VLT 2800 Series frequency converters with software version 2.9x. The software version number can be seen from parameter 640. This symbol indicates something that should be noted by the reader.
Note that the frequency converter has more voltage inputs than L1, L2 and L3 when the DC bus terminals are used. Check that all voltage inputs are disconnected and that the MG.27.E2.02 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark...
Converts DC voltage into a variable AC voltage with a variable frequency. As all 400 V units in the VLT 2800 Series have inter- mediate circuit coils, there is only a low amount of 7. Motor voltage harmonic mains supply interference. This gives a good Variable AC voltage depending on supply voltage.
