Product Description:

The 131B0468 Drive comes with a maximum imbalance tolerance of 3 percent between main phases and offers resilience against supply variations. It is the product of Danfoss> and it has an output frequency range of 0–590 Hz and its robust starting torque capability of up to 160% for 60 seconds helps with challenging startup requirements.

The <<131B0468 automation drive has a true power factor of less than or equal to 0.9 nominal at rated load. Its capability to operate with an output frequency in flux mode ranging from 0 to 300 hertz which enables precise control. Its design further includes a dependable starting and overload torque for variable torque conditions and achieves a maximum of 110 percent for up to 0.5 seconds once every 10 minutes. Its typical shaft output power of 7.5 kilowatts at 208 volts balances performance with energy efficiency. In flux time mode its torque rise time is exceptionally fast, measured at just 1 ms for a 5 kHz switching frequency. It can efficiently handle a maximum continuous input current of 28 amperes within 200 to 240 volts range. Its displacement power factor is less than 0.98 which reflects its high quality electrical performance with minimal reactive power.

The 131B0468 automation drive safety and environmental durability is guaranteed by compliance with EN60664-1, defined as overvoltage Category III with Pollution Degree 2. It also comes equipped with an RFI filter that supports adherence to emission standards. Due to the inclusion of a graphical local control panel, the user interaction is simplified and provides clear and intuitive access to operational settings and monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions about 131B0468:

Q: What kind of loads benefit from the 131B0468 drive’s high starting torque capability?

A: Heavy inertia loads like conveyors, mixers, and compressors gain smoother startups and reduced risk of stalling due to the extra torque margin.

Q: How does operating in flux mode improve performance for variable speed applications?

A: Flux mode ensures more precise torque control at low speeds, which is critical in processes requiring steady motion or high accuracy, such as dosing pumps.

Q: Why is the 1 ms torque rise time significant in dynamic applications?

A: A fast torque rise time allows the drive to respond almost instantly to load fluctuations, improving accuracy in positioning systems and rapid stop/start cycles.

Q: How does the true power factor impact energy efficiency in the 131B0468?

A: A higher power factor reduces wasted reactive power, lowering utility costs and improving overall system efficiency during continuous operation.

Q: What installation considerations should be noted regarding the RFI filter?

A: The built-in RFI filter minimizes electromagnetic interference, making the drive suitable for installations in environments sensitive to noise, such as near control circuits or sensors.
