ESV152N04TXB Lenze SMVector VFD 1.5 kW Sensorless Vector Drive

ESV152N04TXB Lenze SMVector Inverter – 1.5 kW, 400/480 V, Sensorless Vector

ESV152N04TXB is a Lenze SMVector frequency inverter. It drives a 1.5 kW (2 HP) motor on 3/PE 400/480 V mains. Sensorless vector control gives strong torque at low speed. The NEMA 1 (IP31) housing suits indoor panels. This is the standard X-coded variant with no integrated EMC filter. A plug-in slot accepts Modbus, CANopen, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS DP or EtherNet/IP cards. The series is legacy. Lenze points to i500/i550 protec as successor. Official v16.0 instructions remain online.

Installation Guide

• Mount upright on a flat panel. Keep 50 mm clear space above and below.
• Use the PE terminal for a solid ground bond. Keep motor cable short.
• This variant has no internal EMC filter. Add an external filter for long motor cables.
• Tighten terminals to the torque in the v16.0 instructions.
• Separate power wiring from signal wiring to cut noise.

Setup and Maintenance

• Run auto-tuning at first start. It matches the drive to the motor.
• Set motor data from the nameplate before tuning.
• Copy parameters to a spare drive for fast swap-out.
• Clean the heatsink with dry air every 6 to 12 months.
• Check fan and terminal screws at each service visit.

Compatibility Notes

• Works with standard 3-phase induction motors up to 1.5 kW.
• Network cards are plug-in. Fit one card per slot.
• Existing SMVector parameter files transfer to spare units.
• For new builds, Lenze advises the i500/i550 protec line.

Approvals and Compliance

• CE and cULus marks per Lenze SMVector documentation.
• IP31 rated for indoor cabinet use. Not for wet or dusty areas.
• EMC performance depends on external filtering and wiring.

Manager’s Insight

This unit fits retrofit work. It drops into existing SMVector panels without rewiring. Stock it as a spare for lines that still run SMVector drives. Do not design it into new machines. The option slot keeps old Modbus and DeviceNet networks alive. Buyers get a proven drive at legacy pricing. Ask us for a matched EMC filter when motor cables run long. Contact sales@powergearx.com or +86 18030005825 for a quote.

Best Fit Devices and Applications

• Conveyors, fans and pumps up to 1.5 kW
• Packaging and labelling machines
• Retrofit of AC Tech SMVector panels
• Indoor skids with Modbus or DeviceNet control
• Spare-part stock for legacy production lines

Buying Guide

• Check mains voltage first. This model covers 400 to 480 V three-phase.
• Match motor current to 4.0 A at 400 V. Do not size by kW alone.
• Pick the network card before you order. The base unit has no card.
• Plan external EMC filtering for long motor runs.
• For a new design, compare against the i550 protec first.
• Order a spare. Legacy stock will shrink over time.

FAQ

• Does this drive include a network card?
  No. The option slot is empty on the base unit. Add a card for Modbus, CANopen, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS DP or EtherNet/IP.
• Can I run a 2 HP motor at 480 V?
  Yes, when motor current stays under 3.5 A at 480 V.
• Is an EMC filter built in?
  No. This is the X-coded standard variant. Fit an external filter where EMC limits apply.
• How do I handle heat above 40 °C?
  Derate output current by 2.5 % per °C, up to 55 °C.
• What replaces this model long term?
  Lenze lists the i500/i550 protec as successor. Keep spares for current lines.
• Experienced tip: how do I avoid nuisance trips?
  Run auto-tuning, then set the overload curve to match the motor. Most trips come from a wrong motor current value.
• Experienced tip: how do I cut noise on old panels?
  Ground the motor frame to the drive PE with a short, thick cable. Keep signal wires away from motor cables.
• How fast do you ship?
  Orders leave in 12 to 24 hours by FedEx, UPS or DHL.
• What warranty do I get?
  12 months from delivery.
• How do I confirm fit before buying?
  Send your motor nameplate and panel photo to sales@powergearx.com. We reply the same day.
