Product Description:

The 131B8942 is a variable frequency drive produced by Danfoss for the VLT FC 202 AQUA Drives series. It regulates motor speed in water-handling systems such as distribution pumps, aerators, and filtration fans, allowing output to follow changing process demands without mechanical throttling. By adjusting motor speed instead of restricting flow with valves or dampers, the drive can reduce unnecessary energy consumption during periods of lower demand. Its application-focused controls support stable pressure, flow, and equipment operation across municipal, commercial, and industrial water systems.

The drive accepts a mains supply of 380–480 VAC and delivers a continuous shaft output of 5.5 kW, which is mechanically equivalent to 7.5 HP. It uses a three-phase power supply suitable for common industrial distribution networks. The IP20 chassis enclosure protects against accidental contact with internal components while allowing installation inside a protected electrical panel. The design does not include a brake chopper, so applications that generate substantial braking energy require an appropriate external solution. Its printed circuit boards do not have a conformal coating, making proper cabinet protection important where moisture, condensation, or airborne contaminants may be present. Internal monitoring provides phase-loss, overtemperature, and overcurrent protection during operation.

Field wiring enters through standard cable entries, providing a conventional route for mains, motor, and control conductors. Parameter access is provided by a graphical local control panel that presents operating values, status information, alarms, and menu settings in readable text. The factory configuration includes no adaptation, so it does not contain customized macros or preloaded application settings. Conducted electromagnetic interference is limited by an integrated RFI Class A1/B (C1) filter, which supports installation where this emissions category is required. The controller can monitor connected equipment and respond to electrical or thermal faults without relying on an additional application card.
