Selection Guide | VACON® 100 X and VACON® 20 X | 0.75 – 37 kW Save costs and space with decentral AC drives IP66/ Type 4X outdoor protection rating in a compact design

Central drive solution Maximum protection wherever you want Decentral drive solutions enable engineers and machine designers to save on costs and space. VACON® 100 X and VACON® 20 X manage to combine IP66/Type 4X outdoor enclosure protection with a compact design, which means they can be mounted directly onto the motor, machine or wherever the most efficient location for the drive is. Motor cables Decentral drive solution (gained free space) Decentral solutions An independent drives supplier In a decentral drive solution, the drives are located as close as possible to the motor. Significant savings...

The decentral drives approach in a nutshell Locating the drive as close to the motor as possible Minimizing the use of electrical rooms Integrating the drive as part of the machine cabinets used for the drives No Notably shorter length of shield cables needed, reducing costs Savings built-in Save on cabinet costs Save on cabling costs These are examples of how VACON® 100 X and VACON® 20 X can help save on cabinet costs: Compared to a traditional solution, with the AC drives located in an electrical room, a decentral solution offers significant savings potential in cabling costs. By locating the...

VACON® 20 X – performance under pressure VACON® 20 X is built on experience of producing drives in high enclosures. A decentral drive solution offers countless possibilities. An IP66/Type 4X outdoor protection rating offers the best possible protection from any factors that may be encountered in harsh environments, while other great features such as large cooling ribs and an integrated mains switch make VACON 20 X the right choice when your drive needs to be integrated directly into the application. When you need a decentral solution The main purpose of VACON® 20 X is to offer an AC drive that...

What’s inside VACON® 20 X Removable keypad as option The removable text keypad has non-volatile memory (for copy/paste parameter settings). Mounted with a magnetic fixing, it can be removed and mounted next to the drive or used remotely during commissioning. Mains switch integrated as option Using the integrated drive supply switch option, the drive’s main supply can be disconnected and locked for safety during maintenance work. This also saves on investment costs and space. IP66/Type 4X outdoor certified protection The VACON® 20 X enclosure is fully compliant with IP66/Type 4X protection rating...

VACON® 100 X – a top class decentral drive With a power range from 1.1 kW to 37 kW the VACON® 100 X sets a new benchmark for decentral drives. It comes with IP66/Type 4X outdoor protection rating and has highly advanced control capability which guarantees processes run exactly how you want them to. On top of all this, it has built-in harmonic filtering chokes, making it suitable for public networks. Top class protection IP66/Type 4X outdoor protection approval means that VACON® 100 X comes with all the armour it needs in order to stand up to the challenges that demanding applications can throw...

What’s inside VACON® 100 X TÜV/SÜD certified solution Pressure equalizer vent Just like VACON® 20 X, VACON® 100 X comes with a pressure equalizer vent which allows the enclosure to breathe, however harsh the external conditions, and prevents it from getting worn down. This acts as a barrier against condensation, dust and dirt and ensures pressure inside the drive is equalized with the surrounding environment. Large cooling ribs The front of the drive’s enclosure offers cooling protection with ribs that don’t collect dust. They allow full access to the heatsink and can be cleaned with pressurized...
