Product Information

Product Family: 8200 | Series: 8200 Vector

The Lenze E82EV251-2C is a compact frequency inverter from the 8200 Vector series, engineered for precise variable speed regulation of three-phase AC motors in industrial machinery. Designed to operate on a 230 V AC single-phase or three-phase input supply with an acceptable voltage range of 180 to 264 V AC, this drive delivers a rated power output of 0.25 kW with a continuous output current of 1.7 A and a 3.4 A rated input current. It supports multiple motor control methods, including linear V/f characteristics, frequency control (VFC), and advanced sensorless vector control to maintain dynamic speed stability and low-end torque across an output frequency range of 0 to 480 Hz. Featuring a 150% maximum overload capability for 60 seconds (up to 2.55 A peak overload current) and selectable switching frequencies between 2 kHz and 16 kHz with an 8 kHz default, it provides quiet and reliable operation for conveyor drives, packaging material feeds, ventilation fans, and small pumps.

The drive utilizes a modular hardware design that separates the base power unit from plug-in operating keypads and network communication modules. Integrating a replacement unit into a production line requires matching physical option slots and transferring unit configuration. Commissioning and parameterization are performed using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software version 4.0 or higher, or through optional pluggable keypads such as the EMZ8201BB standard panel or the EMZ8211BB XT keypad module. The inverter houses internal EEPROM memory supporting up to four independently selectable parameter sets, allowing multiple machine operating profiles to be saved locally. When replacing a failed unit, stored parameter sets must be uploaded from the original unit or downloaded from a software backup to ensure identical control settings. ABC Industrial Parts supports engineering teams with replacement hardware and parameter extraction strategies to streamline installation.

Real-time drive status is indicated by front-panel LEDs and diagnostic parameter readouts. A solid green LED confirms normal operating status with the inverter enabled, slow green flashing at 1 Hz indicates an inverter inhibit state, and fast green flashing at 2 Hz signifies quick stop or zero setpoint selection. A solid red LED signals an active TRIP fault, slow red flashing indicates a warning, and fast red flashing points to an active fault with automatic restart pending; if both LEDs are unlit, line power is disconnected or an internal power supply issue exists. Active faults and fault history are logged under parameter C0168, while operating parameters such as output frequency, DC bus voltage, and motor current are monitored in parameters C005x. First-line troubleshooting should verify input mains voltage, check motor insulation, and inspect fieldbus connections. When internal gate driver circuits or micro-controller memory failures occur, ABC Industrial Parts offers tested exchange units and professional repair services to reduce equipment downtime.

Programming and Configuration

Parameterization and commissioning of the Lenze E82EV251-2C frequency inverter are conducted using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software version 4.0 or higher, or via direct keypad interaction. The drive includes non-volatile EEPROM memory engineered to store up to four complete, independently selectable parameter sets, enabling rapid transition between different production recipes without reconfiguring individual motor parameters.

Operator control and cloning are managed using optional plug-in interfaces. The EMZ8201BB Standard Operating Keypad provides basic display and parameter editing, while the EMZ8211BB XT Keypad Module features onboard memory for uploading, storing, and downloading drive configurations directly between units without a PC. In cases of corrupted parameters or EEPROM checksum errors (faults PR0 or C003), a factory reset can be executed using parameter C002 before reloading saved parameter sets.

Communication and System Integration

The modular construction of the 8200 Vector series allows the E82EV251-2C to adapt to various fieldbus systems and I/O requirements via plug-in function modules. Standard terminal interface functions for analog and digital control signals are provided by installing the E82ZAFSC010 Standard I/O Function Module into the drive's option slot.

For integrated network operation, the drive supports network modules including the E82ZAFCC010 CANopen Communication Module and the E82ZAFPC001 PROFIBUS-DP Communication Module, as well as System Bus (CAN) and LECOM serial interfaces (RS232/RS485). Communication timeouts, invalid parameter telegrams, or bus interruptions trigger dedicated diagnostic fault codes CE0 through CE4, requiring verification of cable shielding, 120-ohm bus termination resistors, node IDs, and master controller communication states.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

The E82EV251-2C provides comprehensive visual and software diagnostics to identify operating conditions and system faults. The front-panel green and red LEDs reflect drive status, quick stop conditions, TRIP errors, and pending restarts. Advanced diagnostics can be conducted via the EMZ8201BB or EMZ8211BB keypads or through the GDC software diagnostic suite.

Active drive parameters can be interrogated in real time under parameter group C005x, which monitors key variables including output frequency, DC bus voltage, motor current, and internal status flags. Active TRIP faults and historical error logs are stored in parameter C0168 for fast fault analysis.

Status LED Indicators

LEDColor/StatusMeaning
Green LED (Operation)Green - Solid / FlashingLit continuously: Inverter enabled, operating normally. Flashing slowly (1 Hz): Inverter inhibited (CINH / IMP). Flashing rapidly (2 Hz): Quick stop active or setpoint 0 selected.
Red LED (Fault / Warning)Red - Solid / FlashingLit continuously: TRIP fault active. Flashing slowly (1 Hz): Warning active. Flashing rapidly (2 Hz): Fault active with automatic restart pending.
Both LEDs OffNone - OffMains supply voltage missing, DC bus unpowered, or internal power supply hardware failure present.

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

When swapping a damaged or failed Lenze E82EV251-2C inverter, plant engineers must confirm that the replacement matches the exact part number to guarantee identical voltage ratings (230 V AC), power output (0.25 kW), and continuous output current capability (1.7 A). Because the drive stores operating parameters locally, installing a replacement unit requires restoring the parameter configuration from an EMZ8211BB XT keypad module or downloading a saved project via Global Drive Control (GDC) software.

For facilities planning comprehensive machine modernizations, Lenze recommends the i550 Cabinet Inverter series as a modern migration path. However, replacing an existing drive with a direct-fit E82EV251-2C unit avoids cabinet wiring modifications, panel layout redesigns, and controller reprogramming, allowing rapid restoration of operational machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I transfer parameters to a new Lenze E82EV251-2C drive?

Parameter sets can be copied using the EMZ8211BB XT keypad module, which stores settings in onboard memory for direct transfer to another inverter. Alternatively, parameters can be saved and restored using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software version 4.0 or higher connected via a serial interface.

What do the front-panel LEDs indicate on the E82EV251-2C?

A solid green LED indicates normal enabled operation. Slow green flashing (1 Hz) signifies an inverter inhibit condition, and rapid green flashing (2 Hz) indicates quick stop or setpoint zero mode. A solid red LED signals an active TRIP fault, slow red flashing indicates a warning, and rapid red flashing indicates an active fault with auto-restart pending. If both LEDs are off, input line power is missing or an internal power supply issue exists.

Which fieldbus modules are compatible with the E82EV251-2C?

The E82EV251-2C accepts plug-in modules into its option slot, including the E82ZAFCC010 CANopen module, the E82ZAFPC001 PROFIBUS-DP module, and the E82ZAFSC010 Standard I/O module. It also supports System Bus (CAN) and LECOM serial communications.

How do I clear a PR0 or C003 memory fault?

Parameter corruption errors can be cleared by performing a factory reset using parameter C002 via keypad or GDC software. After resetting the drive, a valid parameter set must be reloaded from a software backup or cloned from an EMZ8211BB XT keypad module.

What is the official successor series for the Lenze 8200 Vector drives?

Lenze recommends the i550 Cabinet Inverter series as the modern migration successor for 8200 Vector drives during system upgrades.
