LS Electric LSLV0008H100-2CONN(Plus) Inverter VFD Low Voltage Drive

Description

LS Electric LSLV0008H100-2CONN(PLUS) Inverter VFD (H100+ — Fan & Pump Drive)

HVAC-focused low-voltage variable frequency drive (H100+ series) from LS Electric, optimized for fan and pump control with built-in HVAC communications and extended control features for energy-efficient systems.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

The LSLV0008H100-2CONN(PLUS) is a compact 1-HP class VFD tuned for HVAC and pump/fan applications. It offers robust fan/pump control features, multiple fieldbus options, and a practical set of I/O (including 5 relay outputs), making it a strong choice for commercial building automation and OEM panels where protocol compatibility and HVAC functions matter. If you need a drive for heavy industrial torque spikes or harsh outdoor duty without enclosure upgrades, look at a ruggedized alternative.

Pros

• HVAC & pump optimized: H100+ includes fan/pump-specific functions for energy savings and system control.
• Good control range: V/f control (IM/PM) plus slip compensation for stable motor behavior.
• Reasonable overload capability: HD 150% for 1 min / ND 120% for 1 min — helps withstand transients.
• Built-in communications for building networks: Modbus RTU, LS INV 485, BACnet/MSTP, LonWorks, Metasys N2 (with Ethernet/fieldbus options).
• Multiple relay outputs and convenient I/O: reduces need for extra option cards in many HVAC installs.

Limitations

• Standard enclosure IP20 (UL Type 1 optional); not suitable for dusty/wet/outdoor environments without additional protection.
• EMC filter and DC reactor are not listed as built-in in the datasheet (variant dependent); external filtering may be required in sensitive sites.
• Intended for HVAC/fan/pump and similar loads; not aimed at extreme heavy-inertia industrial drives.

Typical use cases

• Ideal for HVAC systems; fans, blowers and chillers in commercial buildings.
• Pumps in water treatment or building services where BACnet/Metasys/LonWorks connectivity is needed.
• OEM equipment and compact control panels requiring built-in relay outputs and multiple protocol support.
• Less ideal for outdoor, unprotected installations or for long-term continuous heavy-torque motors without derating and enclosure upgrades.
