Product Description:

The 131B5540 is a variable-frequency drive built by Danfoss for the VLT FC 302 Automation Drives series within the VLT AutomationDrive FC product group. Housed in a chassis form factor, it is intended for normal cabinet mounting and supplies closed-loop speed control to three-phase induction motors in automated material-handling and process equipment. By modulating output frequency, the drive lets controllers match motor speed to load, improving accuracy and lowering energy use on production lines.

Electrically, the unit accepts three-phase mains between 380 – 500 VAC and delivers up to 5.5 kW, equivalent to 7.5 HP, through its integrated RFI filter and coated printed-circuit boards. The A3 frame measures 268 mm in height, 130 mm in width, and weighs 6.11 kg, allowing compact placement beside other A, B, or C frame products. A protection level of IP20 / Chassis suits enclosure environments where only basic touch protection is required. Standard cable entries simplify wiring, and the normal cabinet-mount layout aligns terminals with common panel layouts. An internal brake chopper interfaces with external resistors, while the drive’s resolver interface option ensures feedback compatibility. PCB coating guards the control electronics against airborne contaminants.

The installed MCB-103 Resolver Option occupies the B slot, while the A slot, adaptation B, C-slot software, C0 MCO hardware, C1 expansion, D-slot hardware, and the mains option are not installed. Dynamic braking is handled by the integrated Brake chopper, and operators interact through the Graphical Local Control Panel with a standard language pack. A standard cable system and the Series 302 identifier complete the configured hardware set. The software revision is Latest Release.
