Product Description:

The 131B1480 is an AC variable frequency drive produced by Danfoss as part of the VLT FC 301 Automation Drives series. Designed for cabinet installation, the unit converts fixed-frequency mains power into a modulated output that lets production machinery vary induction motor speed and torque as process demands change. By adjusting motor flux in real time, the drive helps packaging lines, pumps, and conveyors meet target throughput while limiting energy usage and mechanical stress.

It delivers a continuous mechanical output of 5.0 HP, corresponding to an electrical rating of 3.7 kW at the motor terminals. The input section accepts 200 – 240 VAC with three-phase power, so it connects directly to common low-voltage plant feeders without an autotransformer. A built-in brake chopper provides a path for excess regenerative energy during rapid deceleration, preventing DC-link overvoltage and allowing controlled emergency stops. Normal cabinet mounting across the A, B, and C frame sizes keeps the heat sink inside the enclosure and simplifies airflow planning.

Field integration is handled through the PROFIBUS DP V1 MCA 101 option card, which transfers setpoints, status words, and diagnostic data to PLCs over a single shielded cable. Local adjustment is possible with the Graphical Local Control Panel, which provides parameter access and real-time readouts from the front door of the cabinet. The housing has an IP20 chassis rating, providing protection against contact while allowing heat to escape. An integrated RFI Class A1/B filter attenuates conducted emissions on the mains leads, helping the installation meet electromagnetic compatibility limits without external line filters. Standard cable entries and an uncoated printed circuit board support use in clean indoor environments.
