Why Choose This 4.0kW (5.5HP) 380V 3-Phase VFD?

This specific 4.0kW 380V VFD is the specialized solution for industrial applications that demand high torque and precision in a small footprint.

  • Precision for 5.5HP Industrial Motors: The EV210-0040G-T4 is optimized for 4.0kW (5.5HP) 3-phase 380V motors. It provides advanced sensorless vector control , offering precision torque regulation far superior to basic V/F control, especially for hard-starting loads.   

  • Better Low-Speed Performance: This model provides 150% torque at 0.25Hz, offering finer and more stable control for high-inertia starts (e.g., loaded grinders, extruders, or compressors) than standard general-purpose drives that only promise 0.5Hz.   

  • Space-Saving 87mm Industrial Chassis: Its compact 87mm width saves valuable DIN rail space in crowded industrial panels, allowing for higher-density machine designs compared to bulkier drives (like the 112mm-wide EV510A ).   

  • Integrated & Cost-Effective: Use the built-in PID  for simple, standalone fan, pump, or compressor control, or connect it to your central PLC using the standard RS485 Modbus. This integration reduces hardware cost and simplifies system design.

Typical Application Fields

  • Ideal for small lathes, grinders, and drilling machines as a machine tool VFD, providing precise speed and torque control in a compact form factor.

    Machine Tools

    Ideal as a compact machine tool VFD for small-to-medium grinders, lathes, and milling machines on a 380V system, providing the high starting torque needed for cutting operations.

  • An air compressor VFD provides high starting torque for a motor in a compact industrial application.

    Air Compressors & Extruders

    A perfect match for air compressor VFD or extruder VFD applications. These are constant-torque loads that demand high starting torque and robust overload protection (150% for 60s) to handle hard starts.

  • A compact conveyor belt VFD provides steady high torque to move heavy boxes in a factory.

    Material Handling & Conveyors

    Reliably starts and stops industrial conveyors, elevators, and mixers, even under load, thanks to its high starting torque and rapid torque response.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. What is the main difference between the EV210-0040G-T4 and the EV210-0022G-S2?

    The key difference is the input power. The T4 model is for Three-Phase 380V industrial power. The S2 model is for Single-Phase 220V power, typically used to run 3-phase motors where only 220V single-phase is available.   

  2. How does this 4.0kW VFD compare to the EV510A-0037G-T4?

    The EV210 is the specialist for compact spaces and low-speed torque. It is significantly narrower (87mm wide)  than the 112mm EV510A  and offers superior starting torque (150% at 0.25Hz)  compared to the EV510A’s 0.5Hz. The EV510A offers more I/O terminals (7 DI vs 4 DI) for more complex general-purpose applications.   

  3. What is the output current of the EV210-0040G-T4?

    The rated output current for this model is 9.0 Amps, designed to match a 4.0kW (5.5HP) 380V motor.   

  4. Can I use this VFD for a hard-starting load like an air compressor?

    Yes. This drive is ideal for such applications. Its advanced sensorless vector control produces 150% of the motor’s rated torque at just 0.25Hz (a near-standstill), providing the power needed to start constant-torque loads like compressors smoothly. 

Quick Start Guide (How-To)

Warning: The following steps are a basic guide only. All electrical work must be performed by qualified professional personnel. Before any wiring, ensure the main power is completely disconnected and wait at least 10 minutes for the internal capacitors of the VFD to fully discharge.   

  • Step 1: Installation

    Mount the inverter vertically on a sturdy, non-flammable surface, such as a metal mounting plate inside a control cabinet. Ensure there is sufficient clearance (at least 100mm) for ventilation. This drive’s 87mm width allows for compact industrial installations.   

  • Step 2: Main Circuit Wiring

    Connect the Three-Phase 380V AC power lines to the inverter’s input terminals R, S, and T (L1, L2, L3). Connect the three wires of the three-phase asynchronous motor to the inverter’s output terminals U, V, and W. Securely connect the ground wire to the inverter’s PE (Protective Earth) terminal.   

  • Step 3: Control Circuit Wiring (for Basic Start/Stop)

    Connect one end of an external switch (or button) to the digital input terminal X1. Connect the other end of the switch to the common terminal COM. Set parameter P0-02 (Command source selection) to “1” (Terminal command channel). Set parameter P4-00 (X1 function selection) to “1” (Forward run).   

  • Step 4: Motor Parameter Setting & Auto-tuning

    Upon first power-up, accurately enter the following parameters from your motor’s nameplate :   

    • P1-01: Motor Rated Power (set to 4.0kW)

    • P1-02: Motor Rated Voltage (set to 380V)

    • P1-03: Motor Rated Current (e.g., 8.5A, use your motor’s value)

    • P1-04: Motor Rated Frequency

    • P1-05: Motor Rated Speed. For optimal vector control performance, perform a motor auto-tune. Set parameter P1-37 (Motor auto-tuning method) to “2” (dynamic) or “3” (static) and start the inverter.   

  • Step 5: Test Run

    After confirming all settings, turn on the main power. Close the external switch (X1 to COM). The motor should start. Open the switch, and the motor will stop.

Core Features & Advantages

  • Superior Low-Speed Torque: Implements advanced sensorless vector control (SVC) to achieve 150% rated torque at just 0.25Hz. This provides more powerful and stable control for high-inertia startups (like textile winders or small grinders) than standard drives rated at 0.5Hz.   

  • Compact 380V Industrial Design: With a width of only 87mm, this compact 380V VFD is ideal for saving panel space in industrial control cabinets, allowing for high-density machine designs.   

  • Robust Overload Capacity: Built for tough G-type (general purpose) loads, this 4.0kW 380V VFD withstands 150% of rated current for 60 seconds and 180% of rated current for 3 seconds, handling demanding industrial cycles.   

  • Integrated Automation Features: Includes a built-in PID controller for automating simple process control (like constant pressure for pumps or compressors) and 16-segment multi-speed operation for complex programmed sequences.

  • Flexible Industrial I/O: Standard on this 3-phase 380V VFD are 4 digital inputs, 1 analog input (V/I selectable), 1 relay output, and built-in RS485 Modbus VFD communication for essential system integration.   

  • Optimized Motor Matching: Features a motor parameter self-learning (auto-tune) function (P1-37) to precisely match the drive’s advanced control algorithm to your specific 4.0kW asynchronous motor, maximizing torque and efficiency.
