Product Description:

The 131B1178 is a variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT FC 302 Automation Drives series. As an AC inverter, it converts fixed-frequency line power into a regulated output that allows plant controllers to vary motor speed according to process demand. The product supports integration into distributed control architectures and is sized for midrange machinery that requires accurate speed regulation, controlled acceleration, and dynamic braking. Its adjustable output is suitable for applications such as pumps, fans, conveyors, and other motor-driven equipment with changing operating requirements.

The drive accepts a three-phase power supply within a nominal range of 380–500 VAC. At that input, it provides up to 11 kW of continuous mechanical output to the connected motor, making it suitable for medium-duty pumps and conveyor sections. A built-in brake chopper dissipates regenerated energy so rapid deceleration sequences can be completed without excessive DC-bus voltage. Local parameter access and fault diagnostics are available through the front-mounted Graphical Local Control Panel (LCP). The standard configuration retains the factory application setup and uses the parameter structure associated with the VLT AutomationDrive FC platform.

The IP54/Type 12/N3R enclosure protects the electronics from dust and splashing water while permitting outdoor installation in a covered location. The heat-dissipating chassis supports a motor output of 15 HP when operated within the stated input range. Electromagnetic emissions are reduced by the built-in RFI filter, which helps limit conducted interference on connected power lines. The drive has uncoated control boards, leaving the electronic assemblies without a conformal protective layer. Standard cable entries simplify gland-plate selection and provide practical routing for power, motor, and control wiring. The language pack includes a standard multilingual set for use in facilities that operate with different interface languages. Option slots A, B, C0, C1, and D are empty, and the dedicated mains module is not installed in this baseline configuration.
