Danfoss 175Z4180 VLT 5052 VLT 5000 37kW Class Legacy AC Drive FC 302 Replacement
Product Overview
The Danfoss 175Z4180 is an exact legacy sales code associated with the VLT 5052 drive from the VLT 5000 Series. The VLT 5052 is commonly associated with the 37 kW industrial motor power class and was used for variable-speed control in demanding three-phase machinery and process systems.
Because the VLT 5000 Series is discontinued, this product is mainly relevant to obsolete-drive replacement, machine maintenance, repair and FC 302 migration projects. The full original nameplate must be checked before offering a replacement unit.
