Product Description:
The 176F7308 is a compact AC variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT Adjustable Micro Drives series. Intended for decentralized machine sections, the unit converts fixed-frequency mains power into a pulse-width-modulated output that allows motor speed to track process demand instead of remaining at line frequency. The drive can coordinate conveyors, augers, or small pumps where accurate speed control, soft starting, and energy savings are required but cabinet space and wiring capacity are limited. Its control functions include ramp control, PID regulation, and automatic motor tuning, allowing straightforward integration with existing PLC architectures.
Rated for a nominal input of 230 VAC, the drive is built for single-phase supply networks and draws up to 15.7 A at full load. During continuous duty, it supplies the motor with 7.0 A, corresponding to an apparent power of 2.7 kVA. Short acceleration periods are supported by an intermittent current limit of 10.5 A before thermal protection intervenes. Protective coordination requires a 25 A upstream fuse, and the drive has a short-circuit withstand rating of 5 kA. A 10 V reference output can source 10 mA for speed-setting potentiometers, keeping the control circuit independent of an external reference power supply.
The inverter delivers a typical shaft power of 1.5 kW, making it suitable for small motors that can be wired with conductors up to 14 AWG. Control connectivity includes one analog input, one analog output, and six digital inputs for start commands, speed selection, or fault signals. The plastic housing has an IP20 rating, so the drive must be installed inside a suitable cabinet while maintaining adequate airflow across its heat sink. With a mass of 2.25 lb, it places little load on light-gauge mounting plates. Internal electromagnetic compatibility filtering helps reduce conducted electrical noise, while the integrated braking circuitry supports controlled motor deceleration.
