Product Description:

The 131F8280 variable frequency drive is manufactured by Danfoss and belongs to the VLT FC 302 Automation Drives series. It modulates motor speed in automated machinery by converting fixed incoming power into controlled output for induction or permanent magnet motors. The unit suits cabinet based automation systems where stable speed regulation, torque control, and PLC directed operation are required across industrial duty cycles.

This model delivers 3.0 kW, equivalent to 4.0 HP, which fits moderate conveyors, pumps, and positioning axes without oversizing the motor supply. The input supply must remain within 200 to 240 VAC, allowing the rectifier section to create the DC bus needed by the inverter stage. It operates on three phase power, helping balance current draw across the mains and supporting smoother motor performance during continuous duty.

The chassis carries an IP20 rating for protected panel installations inside cabinets, providing finger safe access to terminals while relying on the enclosure for broader environmental protection. An integrated RFI filter reduces conducted emissions, and the graphical local control panel gives operators text based navigation, live status feedback, and manual jog access. A brake chopper manages regenerated energy during deceleration, while a coated PCB helps protect internal circuitry from moisture and airborne contamination.
