Product Description:

The 195N1040 is a variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss within the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drives series. It converts fixed-frequency mains power into a controlled output that varies motor speed for conveyors, mixers, pumps, and other equipment used in process applications. The drive supports energy-saving speed regulation and soft starts, reducing mechanical stress when connected machinery begins operating. Its narrow profile also allows installation in electrical cabinets where mounting space is limited.

Rated output power reaches 1.5 kW, which is equivalent to 2.0 HP and allows the unit to run small and midsize induction motors. It accepts a three-phase 380–480 V supply with a ±10% tolerance at 50/60 Hz, eliminating the need for transformers on most compatible industrial power systems. Conducted emissions are limited by a built-in RFI filter that complies with EN 55011 Class A1. The IP20 protection rating prevents accidental finger contact with live parts, but the drive still requires installation inside a closed panel. The unit does not include application option modules, fieldbus cards, or conformal coating. It is therefore intended for dry indoor locations where standard process control and direct wiring are appropriate.

The drive uses a narrow book-style housing that allows multiple units to be mounted side by side with minimal spacing. Parameter adjustment is performed through the built-in display (SLCP), removing the need for an external keypad during setup and routine operation. Output terminals supply controlled power to three-phase motors, allowing the drive to regulate speed according to the selected operating parameters. Regenerative energy produced during rapid stops is handled by the standard package with brake circuitry. The standard process parameter set supports stand-alone applications, while the uncomplicated control arrangement reduces the amount of communication wiring required inside the panel.
