Product Description:
The 131B8972 is an AC variable-frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT FC 202 AQUA Drives series. The unit regulates induction motor speed in water and wastewater processes, allowing pumps and blowers to respond to real-time demand while reducing energy use and mechanical stress. Its control functions support variable-torque applications where flow or pressure requirements change throughout the operating cycle. The internal series identifier 202 associates the drive with the electrical and mechanical features available for this AQUA drive platform.
The drive delivers a continuous mechanical output of 7.5 kW, which corresponds to 10 hp at the motor shaft. It accepts a mains supply of 380–480 VAC with three-phase power, allowing connection to common industrial electrical systems without a transformer. Harmonic and conducted emissions are limited by the integrated RFI Class A1/B (C1) filter, which can eliminate the need for external suppression equipment in suitable installations. The unit has no brake chopper, so regenerative energy must be managed through deceleration ramp settings or external dissipation equipment. This arrangement is appropriate for pump and blower loads that normally produce limited regenerative energy during controlled deceleration.
The enclosure has an IP55 / Type 12 protection rating, providing dust protection and resistance to low-pressure water jets when the unit is installed in utility rooms or similar industrial areas. Local operation is available through the detachable Graphical Local Control Panel, which displays parameter menus, operating values, alarms, and trend information. Standard cable entries accommodate the power and control conductors while supporting organized routing into the enclosure. The printed circuit boards are not coated, so the drive should be installed away from corrosive gases, conductive dust, and other airborne contaminants that could damage exposed electronic components. Proper clearance around the enclosure allows heat to dissipate while preserving access to the control panel and cable entry points.
