CONVERTEAM P111-6052 Product Introduction
1. Product Overview
The CONVERTEAM P111-6052 is a reliable light-to-medium duty industrial variable frequency drive (VFD) engineered for precise speed control of AC induction motors in mid-range applications. As a core model in Converteam’s P111 Series (now part of General Electric’s Industrial Solutions), it combines cost-effectiveness with essential performance features, making it ideal for industries like food & beverage, packaging, HVAC, and light manufacturing.
This VFD is designed to control motors powering equipment such as small conveyors, centrifugal pumps, ventilation fans, and packaging machines. It supports both constant and variable torque loads, balancing energy efficiency with consistent performance while protecting machinery from common electrical faults. Its compatibility with standard industrial communication protocols allows seamless integration into existing control systems (e.g., PLC, HMI), making it a practical choice for both new installations and retrofits of older fixed-speed systems.

3. Product Specifications & Features
3.1 Core Specifications
The CONVERTEAM P111-6052 is tailored to meet the needs of light-to-medium industrial applications, with a rated power range of 45 kW (400 VAC) to 55 kW (690 VAC)—ideal for motors driving small to mid-sized equipment. It accepts 3-phase input voltages (380–480 VAC / 525–690 VAC) and delivers adjustable 3-phase output (0–input voltage, 0–400 Hz), enabling precise speed control for tasks like regulating fan airflow or pump water pressure.
In terms of control flexibility, it offers two key modes: V/f control (suited for simple applications like HVAC fans, where basic speed regulation suffices) and basic sensorless vector control (for applications requiring tighter speed stability, such as packaging conveyors). With efficiency levels of ≥95% (400 VAC) and ≥96% (690 VAC), it reduces energy consumption compared to fixed-speed drives, a valuable benefit for applications running extended hours. The integrated protection features guard against electrical faults, minimizing downtime and extending the lifespan of both the VFD and connected machinery.
3.2 Key Features
- Balanced Control Performance: The basic sensorless vector control mode provides ±1% speed accuracy, striking a balance between precision and cost—sufficient for most light manufacturing tasks (e.g., packaging line conveyors) without the need for expensive external sensors.
- Simplified Cooling Design: Forced air cooling with a fixed-speed internal fan ensures reliable thermal management in moderate-temperature environments (up to 45°C). The design is low-maintenance, with no complex variable-speed fan components to service.
- Energy-Saving Operation: By adjusting motor speed to match load demand (e.g., slowing a pump when water tank levels are high), the VFD reduces energy waste. This can translate to 15–30% lower energy costs compared to fixed-speed drives in fan and pump applications.
- Easy Integration: The standard RS485 (Modbus RTU) port enables communication with PLCs or HMIs, allowing remote monitoring of speed, current, and fault status. The optional Profibus-DP port expands compatibility with industrial control systems for larger facilities.
- Compact & User-Friendly Design: With a width of 350 mm and weight of 30 kg, the VFD fits easily into space-constrained control cabinets. A built-in digital keypad with LCD display simplifies local parameter setup and status checks, while clear labeling of terminals reduces installation time.
- Reliable Environmental Performance: Operating from 0°C to 45°C and resisting 5%–90% non-condensing humidity, the VFD performs consistently in typical industrial environments—from temperature-controlled food processing plants to standard manufacturing facilities.
