Lovato VLB30022A480 variable speed drive, a 2.2 kW AC variable frequency drive with three-phase 400-480 V AC input, 5.6 A output current, built-in Category C2 EMC suppressor and RS485 Modbus-RTU communication for industrial motor control applications.
£366.89
The Lovato VLB30022A480 is a compact and efficient AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for precise speed control of three-phase motors in industrial automation and machinery applications. As part of the Lovato VLB3 variable speed drive series, it provides dependable motor control with integrated communication and EMC filtering for modern control systems.
This drive helps improve machine performance by regulating motor speed, reducing mechanical stress and supporting more energy-efficient operation. Its compact book-style housing makes it easy to install inside control panels, while the built-in Category C2 EMC suppressor supports cleaner electrical operation in industrial environments.
With a rated output power of 2.2 kW, a 5.6 A output current and a three-phase 400-480 V AC input supply, the VLB30022A480 is suitable for industrial motor control applications requiring reliable variable speed performance and integrated RS485 Modbus-RTU communication.
Variable frequency drives control motor speed by adjusting the voltage and frequency supplied to the motor. This allows machinery to run more smoothly, improves process accuracy and helps reduce unnecessary energy use compared with fixed-speed operation.
The Lovato VLB3 series is designed for compact industrial installations where reliable motor control, flexible communication and panel space savings are important. Its integrated RS485 Modbus-RTU interface makes it suitable for connection with PLCs, automation systems and industrial control networks.
