11-55 kW models to follow in 2027

Delta has expanded its VP3000 variable frequency drive portfolio with the new VP3000-E series for fluid applications. Offered in the EMEA market and covering power ratings from 75 kW to 630 kW, the series has been developed for pumps, fans, HVAC, water supply, wastewater treatment and data centre cooling infrastructure. Delta positions the VP3000-E as the successor to the CP2000 series in the European market.

Functions tailored to pump and cooling systems

The VP3000-E supports induction (IM), permanent magnet (PM) and synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motors. The series includes functions for variable torque applications such as an Automatic Energy Saving (AES) mode, TEC energy control for fans and multi-pump control. These functions target HVAC and water systems as well as data centre cooling equipment such as chilled water pumps, condenser pumps, cooling towers, air handling units and compressors.

Compact housing, integrated filter and safety

Designed to European requirements, the series has a slim and lightweight housing; the large L and M frame models use a chassis design that simplifies installation and maintenance. A C3 EMC filter is integrated as standard in all models, alongside a built-in PLC, STO SIL3 and enhanced PCB protection. A DC bus connection allows integration with Active Front End (AFE) solutions and common DC bus architectures. When used together with Delta’s APF3000 Active Power Filter, the solution can help keep harmonic distortion below 5 percent in line with IEEE 519 requirements.

Component monitoring and easier maintenance

Built-in component monitoring and diagnostics provide information on critical components such as rectifiers, IGBTs, capacitors and cooling fans. An optional LCD graphic keypad with Bluetooth and USB support aims to simplify commissioning, troubleshooting and maintenance with parameter management, warning and fault logs, waveform monitoring and reporting functions.

11-55 kW models to follow in 2027

The initial product range in EMEA covers 75 to 630 kW; additional models from 11 to 55 kW are planned for 2027. The series also includes the high-speed VP3000-EHS model for turbo blower and magnetic bearing (maglev) motor applications, covering 55 to 450 kW with output frequencies above 599 Hz.

Sander van Dasselaar, Head of the Industrial Automation Business Platform at Delta Electronics EMEA, said customers are now under greater pressure to improve energy efficiency, optimise operational performance and reduce total cost of ownership, and that the VP3000-E offers a flexible drive platform combining energy-efficient operation with simplified integration. According to van Dasselaar, the series supports Delta’s strategy of strengthening its position in growth markets such as water infrastructure, HVAC, data centres and industrial facility services.
