Product Description:
The 176F7312 AC variable frequency drive is produced by Danfoss within the VLT Adjustable Micro Drives series. This compact inverter modulates three-phase supply power so that small induction motors can be accelerated, decelerated, or held at a fixed speed without mechanical throttling. Its role in industrial automation is to streamline energy use and provide closed-loop speed control for pumps, fans, and light conveyor sections.
The drive is designed for three-phase feeders at a nominal line voltage of 460 V AC. Under rated conditions, it draws no more than 4.2 A, while its inverter section delivers a continuous motor current of 3.0 A and generates up to 2.3 kVA of apparent power at the output terminals. A short-circuit withstand capacity of 5000 A indicates the maximum prospective fault current the unit can endure when the upstream protection clears. A 10 A time-delay fuse is recommended in the supply path to coordinate with this rating. The internal 10 V reference can source up to 10 mA for external potentiometers or sensors. These electrical characteristics support fractional-horsepower machinery that requires full three-phase torque.
The unit weighs 2.25 lb, allowing direct DIN-rail or panel installation inside low-profile control boxes. Its six programmable digital inputs accept start, stop, and preset speed commands, while a single configurable analog input and one analog output support feedback or trim functions. When connected to a matched motor, the inverter can supply a mechanical shaft load of 0.75 kW, providing steady torque for auxiliary drives. The IP20 open-chassis enclosure restricts use to cabinets where debris and liquid exposure are controlled while permitting unobstructed airflow around heat-dissipating components. The compact housing helps conserve mounting space in crowded control panels. Accessible control terminals simplify connections to switches, relays, potentiometers, and other low-voltage control devices.
