The VACON NXL is the compact member of the Vacon NX platform, its type code expanding the name as NX Light. Ratings run from 250 W to 30 kW in five mechanical sizes, MF2 to MF6. The two smallest are IP20 with an optional external RFI filter; MF4 and larger are IP21 or IP54 with internal EMC filters as standard. Two voltage classes are offered, 208-240 V and 380-500 V.
Every rating is published twice, at 110 per cent overload up to 40 °C and 150 per cent up to 50 °C. Motor control is U/f or open-loop sensorless vector, with no closed-loop or encoder mode. Modbus RTU is built in.
Danfoss has placed the NXL in the Inactive lifecycle phase, so parts are the constraint rather than the technology. Type numbers 0003 5, 0004 5 and 0005 5 each exist in two frames with different currents, so the nameplate enclosure digit must be read before cross-referencing a replacement.
250 W to 30 kW in five mechanical sizes, MF2 to MF6

Switching frequency of 1 to 16 kHz, factory default 6 kHz
Modbus RTU built in, with OPT-AA and OPT-AI expander boards and PROFIBUS or Modbus/TCP fieldbus boards
Internal brake chopper standard from MF3 upwards, with the brake resistor as an option

Capacity is the low-overload rating at 380 V for the 380-500 V types and at 230 V for the 208-240 V types. In the MF4 to MF6 codes the enclosure digit is shown as *: it is 2 for IP21 and 5 for IP54. Note that NXL 0003 5, NXL 0004 5 and NXL 0005 5 each exist in two different frames, so read the enclosure digit from the nameplate. NXL 0002 2 is for single-phase supply only.
