Delta VFD Selection Guide
This guide organizes the VFDs by their primary application: High-Performance Heavy Duty, Fan & Pump (HVAC), and Compact/General Purpose.
| Series | Type | Power Range | Key Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C2000+ | High-Performance | 0.75kW – 560kW | FOC Control, Built-in PLC (10k steps), Heavy Duty | Cranes, Extruders, & Heavy Mining |
| C2000 | Advanced Vector | 0.75kW – 450kW | Precise torque/position, PM & IM motor support | CNC, Printing, & Industrial Processing |
| VP3000 | Next-Gen Fluid | 0.75kW – 630kW | Low Harmonics, Predictive Maintenance, STO SIL3 | Water Treatment & High-end HVAC |
| CP2000 | HVAC & Pump | 0.75kW – 400kW | Multi-pump (up to 8), BACnet, Fire Mode | Commercial HVAC & Irrigation |
Which VFD Series is Right for Your Project?
- Choose C2000+ if: You are dealing with heavy-duty industrial loads that require high starting torque and extreme stability, such as chemical mixers or metal processing.
- Choose VP3000 if: You want to reduce electricity costs and harmonics. It is Delta’s newest “fluid” drive, designed to protect your motor while providing predictive maintenance alerts before a failure happens.
- Choose CP2000 / CFP2000 if: You are managing pumps or fans. The CP2000 is the standard for building automation, while the CFP2000 is the rugged choice for South African sites where the drive might be exposed to dust or moisture (IP55).
- Choose MS300 if: You need a reliable, “do-it-all” drive for small-to-medium machines. It is the most popular choice for South African OEMs due to its built-in safety (STO) and compact footprint.
Technical FAQ for South African Electricians
Q: Can I run a Permanent Magnet (PM) motor with these drives?
A: Yes. Most modern Delta drives (C2000+, MS300, VP3000) support both standard Induction Motors and high-efficiency PM motors.
Q: What is the benefit of the “Fire Mode” in the CP2000?
A: In the event of a fire, the drive will ignore certain alarms to keep smoke-extraction fans running as long as possible—a critical safety requirement for South African building regulations.
Q: Do I need an external filter for the MS300?
A: The MS300 comes with a built-in C2 EMC filter, which reduces electromagnetic interference and saves you money and space during installation.
