Product Description:

The 8I66S200018.0P-000 is a compact inverter module manufactured by B & R Automation as part of the 8I6 ACOPOS Inverters series. It converts single-phase mains power into a controlled AC output so small induction motors can run at adjustable speed in automated machinery. Matching motor speed to process demand can reduce unnecessary energy use and support smoother motion in distributed control systems. This makes the unit useful for compact machines that need repeatable motor control without a large drive footprint. It also supports applications where gentle speed changes help limit shock on small mechanical components.

The module has a width of 72 mm, a depth of 109 mm, and a height of 143 mm, so it fits densely populated control panels without requiring excessive clearance. It delivers 0.18 kW of rated power, which suits fractional-horsepower loads such as miniature pumps, small conveyors, and indexing devices. The inverter is designed for 1-phase operation, eliminating the need for a three-phase utility connection in light-duty applications. Its aluminum housing transfers heat to the surrounding air, which helps maintain stable operation at typical factory temperatures. The slim enclosure also helps preserve usable space for neighboring terminals and wiring ducts in shallow panels.

Installation is supported by two mounting slots set 131 mm apart vertically and 60 mm apart horizontally, allowing direct alignment with common panel hole patterns. A shield plate that rises to 188 mm above the rail extends the grounding path and helps reduce electromagnetic interference from motor cables. The inverter has a mass of 0.8 kg, which keeps rail loading low and supports grouped installation on compact backplates. The fixed slot spacing can simplify panel preparation when multiple drives are mounted in a row. The extended shield path is especially useful when motor leads run close to low-level control wiring.
