Description

MEAN WELL VFD-350P-230 Variable Frequency Drive Module

The MEAN WELL VFD-350P-230 is a 350 W, PCB-type variable frequency drive power module for three-phase motor systems. It accepts single-phase 90-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz and provides 0-268 V line-to-line PWM-controlled output, with 1.4 A rated current subject to the voltage/current envelope below. An external motor controller is required to generate the switching signals and implement the motor-control and supervisory functions. The VFD-CB motor control board is available separately.

Model-specific information is on PDF pages 36-43. Use the specification, V/I curve and installation drawings together when selecting the motor and cooling arrangement.

Product selection and model code

Parameter	Details
Full model	VFD-350P-230
Model code	VFD identifies the variable frequency drive module family; 350 is the wattage designation; P denotes a PCB type; 230 is the nominal output-voltage code.
System role	Integrated three-phase power stage, gate drivers, phase-current sensing, DC-bus voltage sensing and temperature sensing. Motor control is supplied by an external controller.
Motor applications	Three-phase 200-240 V class motors, including BLDC, induction motors and synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM), with suitable external control. Applications include fans, water/air pumps, HVAC, conveyors, automatic doors, power tools and fitness equipment.
Motor selection	A three-phase 220 V motor is recommended. When using a 100-120 V class motor, check motor current against the module limits.

Output ratings and peak conditions

Parameter	Details
Rated output power	350 W; available output also depends on line-to-line voltage, input voltage and cooling.
PWM output voltage	0-268 V line-to-line, adjusted by PWM modulation; 380 V maximum switching level; intended for three-phase 200-240 V class motors.
Rated / peak current	1.4 A rated; 2.8 A peak for up to 5 seconds (200% of rated current). These maxima apply only within the V/I and derating envelope.
V/I envelope	The V/I curve shows 1.4 A continuous and 2.8 A peak up to 150 V line-to-line. Above this point, allowable current falls with output voltage; at 268 V, the plotted limits are 0.75 A continuous and 1.5 A peak. Do not combine the maximum voltage with the maximum low-voltage current.
Peak duty	The illustrated peak-current profile is 200% for 5 seconds followed by 80% for 55 seconds. It is a published duty example, not permission to ignore the V/I, input and temperature limits.
PWM frequency	2.5-15 kHz switching frequency; this is not a specified motor-speed command range.
Efficiency	93% catalog value, tested with an inductive load at rated current and full power. Unless otherwise stated, specification measurements use 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient; efficiency varies with input and load.

Input and DC bus

Parameter	Details
Input	single-phase 90-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz; full-range input with built-in active PFC.
Input current	3.5 A at 115 VAC; 2 A at 230 VAC
DC-bus voltage	380 ±5 VDC.
Power factor, typical	Greater than 0.99 at 115 VAC and greater than 0.93 at 230 VAC, at full load.
Cold-start inrush	70 A at 230 VAC.
Leakage current	Less than 2 mA at 240 VAC.
Input-voltage derating	The input-voltage curve rises linearly from 70% load at 90 VAC to 100% at 180 VAC; 100% is shown from 180 to 264 VAC at 60 Hz. Apply temperature and V/I limits at the same time.

External control, sensing and protection

Parameter	Details
PWM interface	CN93 pins 8-13 are the six PWM logic inputs for the three half bridges. 3.3 V TTL/CMOS: ON above 2.7 V; OFF below 0.4 V. Maintain a minimum 300 ns dead time between the upper and lower switch of each phase. Confirm the high/low-side gate assignment for the exact module and controller before connection.
Current sensing	CN93 pins 4, 5 and 6 provide U, V and W low-side shunt signals; each shunt is 100 mΩ. Use a short external sensing path and suitable amplifier/ADC circuitry for motor-current control.
Bus sensing	CN93 pin 1 provides a HV+ sensor signal of 2.5 V at a 380 V DC bus, referenced to pin 2 (HV-). Bus voltage = sensor voltage x 380 / 2.5.
Auxiliary supply	CN93 pin 14 relative to pin 2 (HV-): non-isolated 15 V, 0.1 A maximum; tolerance ±0.5 V and ripple 1 V peak-to-peak maximum. Design the controller interface for the non-isolated reference.
Fault output	CN93 pin 7 is the inverter short-circuit/overcurrent fault signal: 3.3 V TTL/CMOS, normal high above 3 V and abnormal low below 0.5 V.
Short circuit / overcurrent	Internal protection shuts down the gate driver when output current exceeds 200% of rated current. The specification states output shutdown with re-power-on recovery. The active-low fault output informs the external controller; do not treat it as a substitute for coordinated system protection.
Bus-voltage supervision	The external controller must stop PWM when the DC bus exceeds 420 V. Use the bus-sensor signal for application-level overvoltage/undervoltage supervision; these sensor outputs are not a claim of complete autonomous OVP/UVP control.
Thermal supervision	CN93 pin 3 connects the built-in 10 kΩ NTC temperature sensor, type TSM2A103F34D1R (Thinking Electronic). The function manual recommends stopping PWM when the sensed power-device temperature exceeds 100°C. This is an internal-device threshold, not an ambient operating limit.
Regenerative braking	CN100 provides the DC-bus connection for an external regenerative-braking device: pin 1 HV+, pin 3 HV-, with no pin at position 2. Keep the bus at or below 420 V and coordinate braking with PWM shutdown; a brake resistor/device is not specified as included.

Environment, cooling and installation

Parameter	Details
Ambient operating range	-30 to +60°C, subject to the cooling and derating conditions below.
Cooling / thermal derating	Fanless module. The horizontal-mounting curve shows 350 W through +45°C, falling to 210 W at +60°C. Apply input-voltage and V/I derating at the same time. The upper ambient rating does not mean full-power operation at that temperature.
Operating humidity	20-90% RH, non-condensing.
Storage	-40 to +85°C; 10-95% RH, non-condensing.
Vibration	10-500 Hz, 2 G; 10 minutes per cycle, 60 minutes in each X, Y and Z axis.
Dimensions	127 x 76.2 x 35 mm (L x W x H); mechanical drawing tolerance ±1 mm.
PCB installation	Four Ø3.5 mm mounting holes on a 117 x 66.2 mm pattern; allow for components projecting up to 3 mm below the PCB. Integrate the exposed PCB in a suitable enclosure with the required electrical clearances and cooling.
