Vacon NXL00045C1N1SSS00

Product Overview
The Vacon NXL00045C1N1SSS00 is a compact AC variable frequency drive from the Vacon NXL series. It is designed for industrial and commercial applications such as fans, pumps, conveyors, and general machinery. The NXL series is recognized for its book-style mechanical design, built-in EMC/RFI filtering, built-in AC line reactor, and built-in brake chopper on most models. The NXL00045 variant corresponds to a 400 V class drive rated around 1.1 kW / 3.3 A, but the exact motor power and current rating must be confirmed from the device nameplate or official Vacon documentation.

Working Principle
The drive converts three-phase AC supply voltage into a regulated DC link voltage through a rectifier stage. The DC link is smoothed by capacitors and then converted back into a variable-frequency, variable-voltage three-phase AC output by an IGBT inverter. The microprocessor controls the output frequency and voltage according to the selected control mode, reference signal, and motor parameters. Built-in protection functions monitor current, voltage, temperature, and motor load. When braking energy is returned from the motor, the built-in brake chopper can dissipate energy through an external brake resistor.

Installation Requirements

  • Install the drive in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated control cabinet.
  • Maintain adequate clearance above and below the drive for cooling airflow.
  • Use correctly sized supply cables, motor cables, and protective devices.
  • Connect the PE grounding terminal according to local electrical standards.
  • Keep motor cables separated from signal and communication cables.
  • Configure motor nameplate data before starting the motor.
  • Select the correct control mode, reference source, and I/O configuration during commissioning.
  • Install an external brake resistor only if dynamic braking is required and the resistor rating matches the application.

Precautions for Use

  • Do not operate the drive with missing or loose terminal connections.
  • Do not exceed the rated input voltage, output current, or ambient temperature.
  • Verify that the IP20 enclosure is installed inside a suitable cabinet.
  • Do not connect power factor correction capacitors on the motor output side.
  • Allow the drive to cool before performing maintenance.
  • Back up parameters before firmware updates or major configuration changes.
  • For exact rated current, power rating, option card compatibility, and environmental data for NXL00045C1N1SSS00, refer to the official Vacon NXL user manual and nameplate.
