Product Description:

The Danfoss 131B0424 Automation Drive is able to reach 160% overload capacity and can deliver up to 4 kW which makes it capable of handling demanding start ups and heavy load peaks. It ensures clear interaction through commonly available interface options and its standard cable entry points further simplify installation.

The 131B0424 automation drive can sustain a steady current of 6.4 amperes during long term operation at its heavy duty rating. It has no built in braking module to dissipate energy when the motor slows down and its stopping relies on natural motor friction or external components. It wastes about 145 W as heat at heavy duty during operation. It is designed to connect with a supply line that lies in the high voltage range of 525 V to 600 V alternating current. It comes with no additional hardware modifications or optional accessories fitted under this category. This drive module can connect to a three phase electrical system. Its enclosure is IP21 / Type 1 and offers minimal environmental shielding. This module features a local control interface that has a graphical display which makes it easier to configure and monitor. It includes the newest standard edition which ensures it runs on the most up to date firmware.

This VLT FC 302 series automation drive includes a nominal mechanical output capacity equivalent to 5 hp. The apparent power drawn from the electrical source is 6.08 kVA which reflects the overall demand on the supply. It can tolerate up to 10.2 A for short bursts without damage. The module lacks a built in radio frequency interference filter which means additional external filtering may be needed if electromagnetic noise is a concern.

Frequently Asked Questions about 131B0424:

Q: What kind of cooling should be considered for the 131B0424 automation drive?

A: Since it dissipates heat during operation, proper airflow or forced ventilation is needed. Installing it in an enclosure with circulation prevents thermal overload.

Q: Can this drive operate effectively in environments with dust or moisture?

A: Its IP21 enclosure offers only basic protection, so it should be mounted indoors. Harsh or dusty environments require an additional protective cabinet.

Q: How does temporary current overload capacity improve performance?

A: The drive can supply higher current briefly during motor start-ups. This allows it to handle heavy mechanical loads without tripping.

Q: Can the 131B0424 be updated with newer firmware later?

A: Yes, its platform supports firmware updates. This ensures compatibility with future improvements or bug fixes.

Q: What is the impact of apparent power demand on supply sizing?

A: The kVA rating reflects the total load on the mains. Properly sizing upstream breakers and cabling avoids nuisance trips or overheating.
