Product Description:

The 131B2718 is a variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss for industrial motor control applications. It converts fixed-frequency mains power into a controlled output for induction motors, enabling speed regulation and reduced energy consumption in pumps, fans, and conveyors. The unit installs inside a control cabinet, where its compact arrangement supports integration with motor protection, switching, and control equipment. Its drive algorithms modulate voltage and frequency to maintain motor flux and torque accuracy during acceleration, deceleration, and sudden load changes.

The drive supplies up to 1.5 HP from its nominal 1.1 kW inverter section and accepts mains power from 380–480 VAC. A connection to three-phase power matches common industrial electrical systems and eliminates the need for a separate phase converter. The IP20 housing protects against accidental contact with internal components but requires installation inside a ventilated enclosure. Conducted electrical noise is reduced by the integrated EMC filter, helping limit interference transmitted through the power lines. During deceleration, a brake chopper directs regenerated energy to an external resistor rather than allowing excess voltage to accumulate in the DC bus. The uncoated control board should be installed where airborne moisture and corrosive contaminants will not reach the electronics.

The housing has standard cable entries, allowing mains, motor, and control conductors to pass through suitable metric cable glands without special entry kits. Parameters and operating values are accessed through the Graphical Local Control Panel, which provides icon-based navigation, help text, and real-time status readouts. The front-mounted interface allows local adjustment of motor settings, acceleration ramps, operating limits, and reference values while the drive remains installed in its cabinet. The unit belongs to the VLT AutomationDrive FC group and carries Series Identifier 301. External protective fuses must be selected for the incoming supply, and an appropriately rated resistor is required when the braking function is used.
