LS Electric LSLV0008G100-2EONN Inverter VFD Low Voltage Drive

Description

LS Electric LSLV0008G100-2EONN Inverter VFD (Low Voltage Drive)

A G100-series general-purpose low-voltage VFD from LS Electric, offering flexible control modes and expanded motor capacity. Its key selling point: higher power handling (versus smaller drives) with built-in communications and a compact footprint for general industrial use.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

The LSLV0008G100-2EONN is a strong mid-tier choice in the G100 line — capable for many standard industrial applications (conveyors, pumps, compressors) without blowing your budget. It strikes a balance: more muscle than micro drives, yet more manageable (and cost-effective) than heavy-duty frames. But it’s not for extreme environments unless you protect it, and it may struggle when pushed in high-inertia or high-altitude settings.

Pros

• Dual motor ratings (Heavy Duty & Normal Duty) for flexibility.
• Supports control modes: V/f, slip compensation, sensorless vector.
• Built-in Modbus RTU (LS INV485) and option cards for Profinet, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, etc.
• Good overload capacity (150% for 1 min in HD)
• Compact enough for side-by-side installations in control cabinets.
• Certifications: KC, CE, UL, cUL (covers many regional requirements)

Limitations

• Default enclosure is IP20 — not safe for dusty, wet or outdoor use without protection.
• EMC filter is not necessarily built into every variant (depending on “F” vs “N” suffix) — may need external filter.
• At elevated altitudes or high ambient temperatures, performance must be derated.
• Not intended for extremely heavy-inertia loads or high shock/vibration environments.

Typical use cases

• Driving pumps, fans, and blowers in industrial HVAC or water treatment systems.
• Conveyor drives in factories or packaging lines.
• Machinery with moderate torque demands, where variable speed control yields energy savings.
• OEM or panel builder installations where size, flexibility, and communications matter.
• Less ideal where extreme torque spikes, outdoor exposure, or very high altitudes are involved.
