Drives designed for fluid applications

Available from 75 to 630kW, the VP3000-E combines energy-efficient motor control, integrated application functions and flexible harmonic mitigation capabilities in a compact platform. Developed as the successor to Delta’s CP2000 Series for the European market, the new series is designed for pumps, fans, HVAC, water supply, wastewater treatment and data center cooling infrastructure.

Sander van Dasselaar, head of industrial automation business platform at Delta Electronics EMEA, said: “The VP3000-E represents an important step in the continued evolution of Delta’s Industrial Automation portfolio. Customers are under increasing pressure to improve energy efficiency, optimise operational performance and reduce total cost of ownership. With the VP3000-E, we provide a flexible drive platform that combines energy-efficient operation with simplified integration. It supports our strategy to strengthen Delta’s position in key growth markets such as water infrastructure, HVAC, data centers and industrial utilities, including the critical cooling and utility infrastructure that modern data centres depend on.”

The VP3000-E supports induction motors (IM), permanent magnet (PM) motors and synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM). Dedicated functions include Automatic Energy Saving (AES) mode, Fan Traction Energy Control (TEC) and multi-pump control to optimise variable-torque applications. These include HVAC and water systems as well as data center cooling infrastructure such as chilled water pumps, condenser pumps, cooling towers, air handling units and compressors.

Designed for European requirements, the VP3000-E features a slim, lightweight design, while larger Frame L and M models use a chassis concept for simplified installation and maintenance. A C3 EMC filter is integrated as standard across the range, alongside an integrated PLC, STO SIL3 and enhanced PCB protection. DC-bus connectivity enables integration with Active Front End (AFE) solutions and common DC-bus architectures. When combined with Delta’s APF3000 Active Power Filter, the solution can support compliance with IEEE 519 harmonic distortion requirements below 5%.

Built-in component monitoring and diagnostics provide information on key components including rectifiers, IGBTs, capacitors and cooling fans. An optional LCD graphic keypad with Bluetooth and USB supports parameter management, warning and fault logs, waveform monitoring and reporting, helping simplify commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance.

The initial EMEA range covers 75 to 630kW, with additional models from 11 to 55kW planned for 2027. The series also includes the VP3000-EHS high-speed model, available from 55 kW to 450 kW for turbo blower and maglev motor applications with output frequencies of over 599Hz.
