Delta VFD programming and commissioning in Kenya: VFD-E, ME300, MS300, C2000 and CP2000
Delta VFD programming and commissioning by on-site engineers in Kenya and across Africa: VFD-E, ME300, MS300, C2000 and CP2000. VFDSoft, fault finding, upgrades and full documentation.
Delta drives are widely used for pumps, fans and machines. We configure, commission and troubleshoot Delta VFDs and connect them to PLCs and HMIs.
Delta VFDs we work on
- VFD-E, VFD-EL, ME300 and MS300: compact drives
- C2000: high-performance general drives
- CP2000: fan and pump drives with multi-pump control
Software: VFDSoft, keypad. Networks: Modbus RTU built in, CANopen and Ethernet options.
Delta VFD services
- Motor data, control mode and auto-tune
- PID constant pressure and multi-pump control on CP2000
- Modbus control
- Fault code diagnosis
Our drive commissioning checklist
- Motor nameplate data entered and an auto-tune or motor identification run completed
- Correct control mode for the load: V/F for fans and pumps, vector control for high starting torque
- Acceleration and deceleration ramps, current limits and braking set for the machine
- Protections set: motor overload, phase loss, earth fault, stall and dry-run where relevant
- Speed reference and start/stop from the right source: keypad, terminals, PID or fieldbus
- Parameters saved to a file and a printed list left with the panel drawings
Why drive set-up matters for your energy bill
- On centrifugal pumps and fans, power falls with the cube of speed. Running 20% slower uses roughly half the power (0.8³ ≈ 0.51).
- A correctly tuned drive starts motors smoothly, which cuts mechanical stress, water hammer and belt wear.
- Built-in PID control holds pressure or flow without throttling valves, which wastes energy.
- Energy counters in the drive show exactly what each motor uses, so savings can be measured.
Tips from our engineers
CP2000 for pumps, C2000 for machines
The CP2000 is built for variable-torque fans and pumps, the C2000 for heavier constant-torque loads.
Record every parameter
Saving drive settings with VFDSoft makes replacement straightforward.

Frequently asked questions
Can you configure Delta C2000 drives?
Yes, including PID, multi-speed and Modbus control.
