Overview

The WEG EDP11 VFD Panel (SKU: EDP11E601GN3R) is a robust, enclosed variable frequency drive (VFD) panel designed for industrial motor control applications. Built around the WEG CFW11 VFD, this panel delivers precise speed and torque control for 3-phase motors rated up to 500 HP at 460V AC, making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial environments. Key features include a NEMA 3R enclosure for outdoor or indoor use with weather-resistant protection, eliminating concerns about environmental exposure. The panel integrates a fused control power transformer (230/460VAC to 120VAC) for reliable low-voltage operation, while the built-in dual DC bus chokes reduce harmonic distortion, ensuring compliance with power quality standards. Operator interface is simplified with an enclosure door-mounted VFD keypad, Start/Stop pushbuttons, and Run/Fault pilot lights for immediate status indication. The main circuit breaker includes a through-the-door rotary handle for safe, convenient operation without opening the enclosure. Mounting flexibility is provided via flange-mounted VFDs with heatsinks positioned at the rear of the enclosure for optimized heat dissipation, reducing thermal stress on components. This panel is service entrance rated (NEMA 3R), allowing direct connection to utility power without additional protective enclosures. It supports wall or floor mounting configurations and is available in standard (S) configuration with no bypass, pushbutton controls, and terminal blocks for easy integration into existing control systems. Power ratings span from 2 HP to 1000 HP at 460V AC, with drive frame sizes (G) and enclosure sizes (ED8) tailored to application requirements. Applications include pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and other industrial machinery requiring variable speed control. The EDP11 panel is designed for durability in harsh conditions, with options for NEMA 12 indoor enclosures or NEMA 3R outdoor-rated models. Weight is approximately 1150 lbs, with drive amperage ratings of 601A (ND/VT) and 515A (HD/CT) for 500 HP motor compatibility.
