XD1000 15kW 415V Variable Speed Drive – xD1000 Series VFD by Lauritz Knudsen
The Lauritz Knudsen XD1000-36P0-4B2111 is a 415V AC Variable Frequency Drive rated 15.0kW (Heavy Duty) / 18.5kW (Normal Duty) — this 15kW variable speed drive is part of the xD1000 AC Drive series from Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation. This model steps up to Frame S5 — a noticeably larger chassis than the S4-frame models below it — and is now the highest-power model in the xD1000 lineup available from Konica Automation.

Motor Control Modes
The XD1000-36P0-4B2111 supports multiple control algorithms to suit different load types: V/F Control (2 Point), Pump-optimized U2/F Control, Sensorless Vector Control (SVC), and Slip Compensation for improved speed accuracy under varying load — making it suitable for fans, pumps, conveyors, and general industrial motor control applications.
Built-in Braking Chopper
This model includes an integrated dynamic braking chopper as standard, enabling fast motor deceleration and controlled stopping without the need for an external braking unit — useful in applications requiring quick stops or frequent start/stop cycles.
Forced-Fan Cooling – Frame S5
As a Frame S5 unit, the drive uses forced-fan cooling (1 fan, minimum airflow 140 m³/h) to manage the higher heat dissipation at this power rating, maintaining reliable operation with acoustic noise kept to approximately 50 dBA.
Built-in Modbus RTU
Integrated Modbus RTU communication (RJ45 connector, 2-wire RS485, 4800–38400 bps) allows the drive to be connected directly into a PLC or SCADA-based automation network for remote monitoring, parameter configuration, and centralized control — without requiring an external communication module.
Applications
As a 15kW variable speed drive, it is well suited for large HVAC fans and pumps, water supply systems, compressors, conveyor systems, mixers, and general-purpose industrial motor control where a high-power 415V drive with robust overload capacity is required.

FAQ
Q: Can this drive be used for pump and fan applications?
A: Yes, the built-in Pump U2/F control mode is specifically designed for variable-torque pump and fan loads.
Q: Does it need an external braking resistor unit?
A: No external chopper unit is required — the braking chopper is built into the drive; an external braking resistor (minimum 16Ω) can be added for higher braking duty if needed.
Q: What communication protocol does it support?
A: Built-in Modbus RTU is standard for integration with PLC/SCADA systems.
Summary
The Lauritz Knudsen XD1000-36P0-4B2111 is a 15.0kW(HD)/18.5kW(ND) 415V VFD on Frame S5 with built-in braking chopper, forced-fan cooling, multiple control modes, and Modbus RTU communication — currently the highest power model in the xD1000 series from Konica Automation.
