Toshiba Variable Frequency Drives, Soft Starters & Industrial Control Systems

The VF-S15 is Toshiba's current microdrive in the VF-S9 and VF-S11 lineage, and the VF-AS3 is the current heavy-duty industrial drive in the G7 and VF-AS1 lineage. Keep the voltage class, motor current and overload duty the same. Frame sizes, terminal layouts and parameter numbers changed between generations, so we check the fit and the options before you order.

The AS3 is the heavy-duty industrial drive: vector control, dual rating (heavy duty at 150% overload, normal duty at 120%), built-in EMC filter, Safe Torque Off and embedded Ethernet options, from 0.75 kW to 132 kW at 480 V. The S15 is the compact microdrive for conveyors, fans, pumps and machine tools, from 0.75 kW to 15 kW at 240 V and 480 V, with EMC filter, PID control, a dynamic braking transistor and RS-485 Modbus as standard.

The digits after the series give the voltage class and the kW rating: VFAS3-4150PC is a 480 V class (4) AS3 rated 15.0 kW (150); VFS15-2055PM-W1 is a 240 V class (2) S15 rated 5.5 kW (055). The HP rating depends on whether you select heavy or normal duty, so send the motor nameplate and we confirm the part number.

Several VF-AS3 and VF-S15 models are stocked and ship from our warehouse; the product page shows the current status. The rest are supplied to order from Toshiba International Corporation in Houston, Texas, and we confirm the lead time with your quote.

No. The authorized line covers Toshiba drives. The replacement batteries are compatible lithium cells listed by the Toshiba part they replace (ER6V, ER3V, T2 and T3 CPU batteries), and the circuit breakers, fuses and overload relays are quoted by part number with their own condition and warranty shown on each product page.
