Lenze EVF8202-E 0.75kW VFD Drive

EVF8202-E Lenze 230V Variable Frequency Drive

Product Introduction

The EVF8202-E from Lenze helps improve motor control efficiency. This variable frequency drive accepts a single-phase 230V AC power supply. Then it converts that input into a three-phase output. As a result, users can run three-phase motors from standard household or light industrial power outlets.

This drive supports output voltages from 0 to 230V AC. Meanwhile, the output frequency ranges from 0 to 480 Hz. Therefore, the EVF8202-E offers excellent speed control for small machinery. Its power rating reaches 0.75 kW, which equals 1 HP. Many light-duty applications benefit from this size.

Key Technical Specifications

The input current for the EVF8202-E is 9 AMP. This value reflects typical operation at full load. On the output side, it delivers 4 AMP at three-phase 230V AC. Such ratings make this drive suitable for small conveyors, fans, and pumps.

Operating frequency for the input side works at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz. Consequently, the EVF8202-E adapts to regional power grids without adjustment. The output frequency is adjustable from 0 up to 480 Hz. This wide range allows precise motor speed tuning.

For installation, users can choose panel mounting or chassis mounting. Both methods are straightforward. The drive weighs only 1.62 kg, so one person can handle it easily.

Environmental and Mechanical Data

The EVF8202-E operates reliably within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 50°C. Avoid placing it in very cold or extremely hot environments. Proper ventilation around the drive is still recommended, even though it has lower power than larger VFDs.

This model does not include forced air cooling. Therefore, maintain adequate natural airflow. Keep at least 50 mm clearance on all sides when mounting inside a control panel.

Installation Guidelines

First, mount the EVF8202-E vertically on a flat, non-flammable surface. Use M4 screws for secure attachment. Panel mounting works best inside electrical cabinets. Chassis mounting suits standalone enclosures.

Next, connect the single-phase power supply to the L and N terminals. The input voltage must be 230V AC ±10%. Ground the drive properly using the PE terminal. Failure to ground the unit may cause erratic operation.

Then connect the motor to the U, V, and W output terminals. Use shielded cables for motor connections. Keep cable lengths under 30 meters for best performance. Do not install power factor correction capacitors on the output side.

Finally, set the output frequency range using the built-in potentiometer or external control signals. Start with a low frequency for initial testing. Increase gradually while monitoring motor current.

Typical Applications

The EVF8202-E works well in many small machines. For instance, use it with small conveyors, packaging equipment, or laboratory mixers. Additionally, it controls fans and blowers in HVAC systems. Small pumps for water circulation also benefit from this VFD.

Because the EVF8202-E accepts single-phase input, it suits locations without three-phase power. Workshops, small factories, and farming operations often use this feature.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can the EVF8202-E run a 0.75kW motor at full torque at low speeds?

Yes, but torque drops below 10 Hz. Use a larger drive if full low-speed torque is required.

2. Does this drive include a built-in braking resistor?

No. The EVF8202-E has no internal braking resistor. For rapid deceleration, add an external braking resistor.

3. How do I set the output frequency manually?

Use the built-in potentiometer on the front panel. Alternatively, apply an external 0-10V DC signal to the analog input terminals.

4. What happens if the ambient temperature exceeds 50°C?

The drive may overheat and shut down. It does not have automatic derating. Provide external cooling or reduce the load current.

5. Is the EVF8202-E compatible with single-phase output motors?

No. This drive only works with three-phase induction motors. It cannot run single-phase motors.
