Product Description:
The 176F7300 adjustable frequency drive is produced by Danfoss as part of the VLT Adjustable Micro Drives series. Designed for panel-mounted use, this compact chassis unit serves as a motor speed controller in light-duty industrial automation applications such as small conveyors, mixers, and pump skids. By varying the output frequency, it allows a single induction motor to respond to real-time load demands while maintaining energy efficiency and reducing mechanical wear. Its compact form also supports installation in control panels where available mounting space is limited.
The drive accepts a single-phase supply at 230 V AC and draws up to 6.3 A when the load reaches maximum demand. Under nominal conditions, it converts this input into a continuous motor output of 1.0 kVA with a line current of 2.5 A. The enclosure carries an IP20 rating, so live parts remain protected against accidental finger contact inside a control cabinet, but the unit must be kept free of airborne moisture. Six programmable digital inputs support basic logic functions such as starting, stopping, speed selection, and fault reset without requiring a PLC. Cooling air circulates directly over the heat sink fins, while accessible terminals simplify power and control wiring within the cabinet.
For momentary overloads, the inverter can supply 3.7 A, enabling the acceleration of motors with a typical shaft output of up to 0.5 HP. The main-circuit terminals are threaded for M3 hardware and accept motor leads as large as 14 AWG. Cable runs may extend to 330 ft before additional output filters are required. Upstream protection is limited to a 10 A prefuse, and the drive has a short-circuit withstand rating of 5,000 A for coordination with branch circuit breakers. The housing weighs only 1.75 lb, reducing the load placed on the supporting panel structure. Its compact dimensions allow multiple units to be arranged closely while preserving the airflow needed for cooling.
