Why Choose the Lovato VLB30055A480 VLB3 Series 5.5 kW Variable Frequency Drive?
The Lovato VLB30055A480 delivers a robust heavy-load output of 5.5 kW (approx. 7.5 HP) from a three‑phase 400–480 VAC supply. It includes a built-in Category C2 EMC suppressor compliant with IEC/EN 61800‑3, enabling motor cable lengths of up to ~20 m at 4 kHz switching frequencies and allowing side‑by‑side mounting without ventilation gaps. With an output current rating of ~13 A and integrated brake chopper, this compact “book-style” IP20 drive offers advanced motor control modes (such as V/f, torque-squared, sensorless vector, ECO, servo with encoder feedback) and includes RS‑485 Modbus‑RTU interface and optional plug-in communication modules. Ideal for demanding HVAC, pump, conveyor, and packaging automation in tight panel layouts. It meets global compliance standards and is supported through trusted distributors.

Trusted by Automation Professionals Globally
“The VLB30055A480 blends performance and compactness—ideal for compact control panels. Great EMI suppression and flexibility with add-on modules.”
— Industrial Automation Engineer, EU Systems Integrator
The integrated Category C2 EMC filter supports motor cables up to ~20 m at 4 kHz switching frequencies, allowing side-by-side cabinet installation without ventilation gaps. Without EMC filtering, unshielded cables up to ~200 m can be used under optimized conditions.
Supports V/f linear and quadratic curves, sensorless vector control, ECO mode, servo control with encoder feedback, PID function, S‑curve acceleration, DC braking, slip compensation, sequencer, and preset speed profiles.
Yes—the built-in Category C2 EMC suppression enables drives to be mounted directly side-by-side without airflow spacing, saving panel layout space.
It comes with RS‑485 Modbus‑RTU by default; optional logic modules support CANopen, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherCAT, IO‑Link, USB/Wi‑Fi programmability, and Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality.
The VLB30055A480 is globally certified (cULus, CSA, EAC, RCM), and compliant with EN 61800‑5‑1, UL 61800‑5‑1, and CSA 22.2 No. 274 for industrial safety and performance reliability.
