Product Description:

The 131B8997 is a variable-frequency drive produced by Danfoss for the VLT FC 302 Automation Drives series. It regulates the speed of three-phase induction motors by adjusting the voltage and frequency supplied to the motor. This control allows conveyors, pumps, and material-handling stations to match changing process demands without relying on constant-speed operation. Controlled acceleration and deceleration also reduce electrical and mechanical stress on connected equipment in automated plants.

The inverter has a continuous motor output rating of 11 kW, which corresponds to 15 HP at the motor shaft. It accepts an input supply ranging from 380 to 500 VAC through a three-phase power network. An integrated RFI filter attenuates conducted electrical noise before it reaches the mains supply. Standard cable entries simplify gland-plate arrangements and provide organized routing for power and control wiring. The included language pack provides multilingual parameter text through the drive interface. The mains option slot is empty, so input disconnects and protective fuses must be installed separately from the drive. Adaptation B is not installed, and the B, C0, C1, and D option bays are empty, preserving the standard mechanical outline of the enclosure.

The A-option card provides DeviceNet MCA 104 communication, allowing the drive to exchange process data, operating commands, and diagnostic information with PLCs over a CAN-based industrial network. Local operation is handled by the numerical local control panel. Its segmented display presents parameter numbers and values for direct setup, monitoring, and adjustment at the drive. The unit has no brake chopper, so regenerative energy produced during motor deceleration must be managed through controlled stopping or suitable external braking equipment. The drive uses an uncoated printed circuit assembly, which does not provide added protection against moisture, dust, or chemically active airborne contaminants. Installation in a clean, dry cabinet helps protect the internal electronics during normal operation. Applications involving contamination or high humidity require an enclosure that provides suitable protection for the operating conditions.
