Why Choose the Lovato VLG30015A480 Variable Speed Drive?

The Lovato VLG30015A480 is a compact and versatile three-phase variable speed drive designed for precise speed and torque control of AC motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Lovato VLG3 variable speed drive series, it combines flexible motor-control functions with built-in communication and EMC suppression for straightforward panel integration.

The drive operates from a three-phase 380–480 V AC, 50/60 Hz supply and provides a rated output power of 1.5 kW with a rated output current of 4 A. Its three-phase output can be varied from 0–480 V AC with an output frequency range of 0–400 Hz, allowing accurate control of motor speed across a wide range of industrial applications.

The VLG30015A480 supports multiple motor-control modes including linear V/f, quadratic V/f, custom V/f and sensorless vector control. A built-in Category C3 EMC suppressor, integrated brake chopper and RS485 Modbus RTU communication make it a practical solution for conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors and OEM machinery.

Key Advantages

  • Compact 1.5 kW variable speed drive for three-phase motors.
  • 380–480 V AC three-phase input for industrial power systems.
  • 4 A rated output current.

Reliable Motor Speed Control for Industrial Automation

Variable speed drives such as the Lovato VLG30015A480 control motor speed and torque by varying the voltage and frequency supplied to the motor. This allows machinery to operate more efficiently, improves process control and helps reduce mechanical stress caused by abrupt starting and stopping.

The VLG3 series supports both traditional V/f control and sensorless vector control, giving machine builders flexibility to match the drive to different load types. Integrated Modbus RTU communication and analogue I/O also simplify connection to PLCs and wider industrial automation systems.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
  • Pumps and water handling equipment.
  • Fans, blowers and ventilation systems.
  • Compressors and auxiliary machinery.
  • Textile and production machinery.
  • Packaging and processing equipment.
  • OEM automation systems and machine building.
