Product Description:

The 178B8451 Frequency Converter by Danfoss is part of the VLT® Decentral Drive FCD product group. It is engineered to deliver efficient and precise control of three-phase electric motors in industrial automation environments. The drive has a power rating of 0.37 kW. It is optimized for compact motor applications, where space-saving solutions are required.

The 178B8451 frequency converter supports a three-phase input voltage range of 380 V to 480 V AC with a ±10% tolerance. The drive is designed for global compatibility that functions seamlessly on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power systems. It is built for demanding conditions and features a top-coated compact enclosure optimized for space-efficient installations. The IP66 protection rating ensures full resistance against dust ingress and high levels of water exposure. This is suitable for harsh industrial environments. The 178B8451 frequency converter incorporates an EN 55011 Class A1 RFI filter for optimized operational performance. This minimizes electromagnetic interference and maintains compliance with industrial EMC standards. A display connector is included for convenient parameter setup, monitoring, and adjustments during operation. The unit supports Profibus DP F10 fieldbus communication for enhanced automation integration. The hardware follows a standard configuration for consistent operation. However, the C0 coating classification indicates no additional surface coating. The A-frame size enables simple integration in confined spaces.

The 178B8451 converter maintains a compact footprint. It measures 300 mm in height, 192 mm in width, and 145 mm in depth. The net weight ranges from 5.8 kg to 6.5 kg, depending on the configuration. The gross weight is approximately 6.7 kg to support efficient transport and straightforward installation. The T62 terminal configuration uses a wall-mounted, metric, double switch-based design to simplify wiring and ensure secure connections.
