Delta VFD17AMS23ANSAA MS300 Series 5HP AC Drive

VFD17AMS23ANSAA 5HP 230V Vector Control Drive

Product Introduction

The Delta VFD17AMS23ANSAA comes from the highly capable MS300 Series of compact vector control drives. This unit delivers 5 Horsepower at 230 Volts AC with a heavy-duty output current of 19.5 Amps. It accepts a three-phase input and provides a three-phase output for precise motor control. Sensorless vector control technology gives this drive outstanding torque performance across a wide speed range. Moreover, it supports both induction motors and permanent magnet motors, which adds remarkable flexibility. The built-in PLC function allows users to create and execute simple logic programs directly on the drive. Additionally, the compact design enables side-by-side installation, saving valuable panel space. Therefore, the VFD17AMS23ANSAA works excellently for machine tools, textile machines, and material handling equipment.

Technical Specifications

The VFD17AMS23ANSAA operates at a nominal 230 Volts AC with three-phase input. This drive covers a frequency range from 0 to 599 Hertz, accommodating various speed requirements. For normal duty applications, it delivers 17 Amps continuous current. However, for heavy-duty applications, it provides 19.5 Amps continuous current with superior overload capability. Specifically, normal duty allows 120% current for 60 seconds and 150% for 3 seconds. Heavy duty supports 150% current for 60 seconds and 200% for 3 seconds. The built-in brake chopper enables dynamic braking without requiring an external module. Furthermore, this drive holds an IP20 enclosure rating, making it suitable for installation inside control cabinets. Its frame size is C1, with compact dimensions of 3.43 inches in width, 6.18 inches in height, and 5.98 inches in depth.

Communication and Connectivity

The VFD17AMS23ANSAA offers excellent communication flexibility for system integration. It includes a built-in RS-485 port supporting Modbus RTU protocol. Besides that, you can add various optional communication cards to suit different network environments. Specifically, available options include CANopen, PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet, MODBUS TCP, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, and PROFINET. Additionally, the removable 5-digit LED keypad allows for remote operation and parameter monitoring. This keypad is easily detachable, so you can mount it on the control panel door while keeping the drive inside the cabinet. Consequently, this drive adapts seamlessly to both simple standalone systems and complex automated production lines.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The Delta VFD17AMS23ANSAA performs reliably across a broad range of operating conditions. Its ambient temperature range spans from -10°C to +50°C for normal operation. Storage temperatures can extend from -20°C to +60°C without causing damage. Furthermore, it withstands up to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing. The drive also meets international standards for vibration resistance, ensuring stable performance in industrial environments. However, its IP20 rating indicates it is not waterproof, so it belongs inside a clean, dry, and well-ventilated control panel. The compact heatsink design, combined with the internal cooling fan, manages heat dissipation effectively. Therefore, maintaining adequate clearance around the unit ensures optimal thermal performance and long-term reliability.

Installation Guidance

Proper installation of the VFD17AMS23ANSAA ensures maximum performance and extended service life. First, mount the drive vertically on a flat, non-flammable surface within a suitable enclosure. The compact C1 frame size allows side-by-side installation, so you can place multiple units close together. Maintain a minimum clearance of 50mm above and below the unit to ensure proper airflow. Next, select appropriately sized wiring for the input power, motor output, and control connections based on the current ratings. The drive accepts three-phase input and outputs three-phase power to the connected motor. For control wiring, you can use the terminal block, which supports digital and analog I/O signals. Additionally, you can install an optional EMC filter on the input side to reduce electromagnetic interference. Finally, connect a dynamic braking resistor to the built-in brake chopper terminals if your application requires rapid deceleration of high-inertia loads. Always disconnect all power sources before performing any wiring or maintenance procedures.

Advanced Features and Capabilities

The Delta VFD17AMS23ANSAA includes several advanced features that expand its application scope. First, Deceleration Energy Backup (DEB) prevents under-voltage faults during rapid deceleration. This feature enhances machine reliability and reduces downtime. Next, the drive supports multi-motor control, allowing you to switch between different motors using contactors. This capability suits applications like conveyors with multiple drive stations. Furthermore, pulse control input enables precise speed following from a master pulse source, making it ideal for synchronized systems. The tension control function provides stable winding and unwinding operations for web processing machines. Additionally, you can connect a DC 24V external power source to keep the control circuits active even when the main power is off. This ensures quick start-up and maintains communication status during power interruptions.
