| Model Number | VACON0020-3L-0038-4 |
Product Overview
The Danfoss VACON0020-3L-0038-4 is a high-power model in the standard VACON 20 compact AC drive range. It is designed for three-phase 380-480 VAC systems and is rated for approximately 18.5 kW or 25 HP motors.
The drive provides a nominal rated current of 38 A and uses the MI5 mechanical frame. It is suitable for higher-power pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors, mixers and industrial machinery where compact drive construction is required.
The VACON0020-3L-0038-4 model should be quoted using its exact voltage and current reference. Similar 0038 models exist in other voltage classes and are not electrically interchangeable.

Compatible System and Applications
The VACON0020-3L-0038-4 is suitable for high-capacity pumps, industrial fans, compressors, conveyors, mixers, ventilation systems and process-support equipment using compatible three-phase motors.
Selection should account for actual motor current, starting torque, overload frequency, acceleration time, output-cable length, ambient temperature and installation ventilation.
Applications requiring rapid deceleration or frequent stopping should be reviewed for braking requirements. External components and the complete drive configuration must be verified before installation.
Maintenance and Replacement Notes
Confirm the complete nameplate and do not confuse this model with VACON0020-3L-0038-2, which belongs to the 208-240 VAC voltage class.
Record the existing control wiring and save all parameters before removal. Verify the motor values, frequency limits, acceleration and deceleration times, current limits, digital commands, analog references and relay functions.
An iC2-Micro replacement requires an engineering conversion review. Mechanical fit, current rating, terminals, I/O, communication, control logic, braking and parameter migration must all be checked.
Related Models
Related three-phase 380-480 VAC models include VACON0020-3L-0023-4 and VACON0020-3L-0031-4.
Lower-power models may not provide sufficient current capacity. Higher-current products from other VACON families may use different dimensions, terminals, software and control architecture.
Inquiry and Supply Notes
Please provide the complete original drive and motor nameplates, mains voltage, motor current, load profile, braking requirements, control wiring, cabinet conditions and parameter backup.
Exact regional build, EMC configuration, keypad, accessories, functional testing, product condition and delivery time must be confirmed before quotation.
