Why Choose the Lovato VLG30022A480 Variable Speed Drive?
The Lovato VLG30022A480 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, integrated EMC suppression and built-in communication in a compact monoblock housing.
The drive operates from a three-phase 380–480 V AC, 50/60 Hz supply and provides a rated output power of 2.2 kW with a rated output current of 5.5 A. Its three-phase output can be varied from 0–480 V AC with an output frequency range of 0–400 Hz, enabling accurate motor-speed regulation across a wide range of industrial applications.
The VLG30022A480 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 well suited to conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors and OEM machinery.

Reliable Motor Speed Control for Industrial Automation
Variable speed drives such as the Lovato VLG30022A480 regulate motor speed and torque by varying the voltage and frequency supplied to the motor. This helps improve process control, reduce mechanical stress and optimise energy use in applications where motor speed does not need to remain fixed.
The VLG3 series supports both traditional V/f control and sensorless vector control, giving machine builders flexibility to match the drive to different load characteristics. Integrated Modbus RTU communication and analogue I/O simplify connection to PLCs and broader 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.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Mixers and processing machinery.
- OEM automation systems and machine building.
