Trusted by Automation Engineers Worldwide
“We’ve deployed VLB30022A480 units in multiple pump and conveyor lines. They’re compact, reliable and easily networked via Modbus.”
— Automation Engineer, EU-based System Integrator
The drive includes a built-in Category C2 EMC filter (IEC/EN 61800‑3), enabling motor cable lengths up to approximately 20 m at 4 kHz switching. Category C1 limits cable length to ~3 m, while unshielded installations may allow up to ~200 m depending on conditions.
It supports multiple control strategies including V/f linear, quadratic torque, sensorless vector control, ECO mode, servo control with encoder feedback, and multi-point sequencing for flexible automation.
Yes—the Category C2 EMC suppression allows side-by-side mounting without ventilation gaps, simplifying compact cabinet layouts.
New units from Radwell often include a 2-year tested repair warranty, even on surplus inventory—making it a cost-efficient option with dependable performance.
The VLB30022A480 is certified to cULus, CSA, EAC, and RCM standards. It complies with EN 61800‑5‑1, UL 61800‑5‑1, and CSA 22.2 No. 274 safety and performance standards.
