Product Description:

The 131B3931 Automation Drive supports a voltage range of 380 to 480 V and handles continuous current up to 32 A and intermittent surges of 41.2 A. This product of Danfoss ensures reliable and efficient performance with a power capacity of 22.2 kilo volts ampere.

The 131B3931 automation drive can endure a maximum imbalance of 3 percent of rated supply voltage temporarily between main phases. During short bursts or intermittent operations under heavy load conditions it can handle current up to 51.2 amperes. It is rated as IE2 which means it has a high level of energy efficiency and reduces overall energy consumption while still providing strong performance. It maintains a power factor of at least 0.9 when operating at its full rated load which means it efficiently uses electrical power supplied to the system. The size and mounting configuration of the drive frame is defined by type B1. It is produced to work in settings with overvoltage category III which means it can withstand more significant voltage surges typically found in industrial environments. During heavy operations the power loss in the drive is 379 watts which is a measure of energy lost in the system as heat.

The 131B3931 automation drive It can consistently handle 37.5 amperes of current under normal operational conditions. It can drive motors that consume up to 15 kilo watts of electrical energy. It can handle up to 160% of its rated power for short durations. It is rated for environments where it may be exposed to certain aggressive gases at a level defined by the IEC 60721-3-3 standard. It includes a built-in electromagnetic compatibility filter which prevents it from being affected by electrical noise from external sources.

Frequently Asked Questions about 131B3931:

Q: What is the maximum supply voltage range supported by the 131B3931 Automation Drive?

A: The 131B3931 supports a supply voltage range from 380 to 480 V. It can handle slight voltage fluctuations up to ±10% without performance degradation, making it adaptable for industrial power environments.

Q: What is the impact of the IE2 energy efficiency rating on operation?

A: The IE2 rating ensures the drive operates with reduced energy consumption while maintaining high performance. It lowers operating costs over time by minimizing energy waste, particularly in constant-duty applications.

Q: What is the significance of the 160% rated power handling capacity?

A: The drive can handle up to 160% of its rated power for short durations, which is useful during startup or transient conditions. This flexibility provides robustness for systems that experience brief overloads.

Q: What are the implications of a 379 W power loss under heavy operation?

A: A power loss of 379 W during heavy operations signifies that energy is being converted to heat. While this is normal for motor drives, it indicates the need for proper cooling in high-load environments to avoid overheating.

Q: Can the 131B3931 handle voltage imbalances in industrial settings?

A: The drive can tolerate a maximum imbalance of 3% in the mains voltage. This is crucial for industrial settings where minor voltage imbalances are common, preventing potential system instability.
