178B3430

Product Description:

The 178B3430 micro drive by Danfoss lands in the FCD 300 Micro Drives series meant for tough, day-to-day work on factory floors. Size on this one keeps things manageable, coming in with a height of 300 mm and a width of 192 mm. Setup needs three-phase power between 380-480 V AC, letting it slot into plenty of bigger setups without adding much fuss. When it runs, 0.55 kW / 0.75 HP goes out the shaft, and that's combined with a maximum output of 1.8 A for steady motion, which really helps the smaller conveyors or process machines spread across a floor.

Plenty of micro drives stub their toe when dust or water start getting wild, but here a tough IP66 enclosure stands up well to water spray and factory messes. EMC worries won’t be on the list either, since this model ticks the EN 55011 Class A1 box. Knock or shove the unit a bit while wiring—no brittle covers show up here, just the solid gear that bigger industrial buyers hope for. Control is smooth through most input frequencies, sitting at 50/60 Hz normal operation and with flexibility for swings of plus or minus 10% tolerance on voltage. Cabling goes tidy thanks to good sized frames and no odd mounting features, and nothing rattles around after setup.

Standing at 6 kg, handling isn’t picky; a single tech has no trouble carrying into long trays or mounting it high up on automated builds. Designs where keeping multiple pieces working with low downtime matters often lean toward components like these. This part nails it in cases that need fast install, harder outer protection, and easy option swaps for motors.
