Product Description:

The 132H8298 is an AC variable-frequency drive produced by Danfoss within the VLT FC 302 Automation Drives series. It is intended for cabinet installation where it regulates induction motor speed and torque, allowing precise process control and energy savings in conveyors, mixers, and other automated machinery. By converting fixed mains power to a variable output frequency, this unit serves as the intermediary between the plant’s three-phase supply and the driven motor, and it works with the series’ modular option architecture.

This model can deliver 25 HP of mechanical output, a rating that indicates the maximum continuous shaft power the connected motor may develop when the drive operates under nominal conditions. Electrical input capability is capped at 18.5 kW, so the associated circuit breakers and cabling must support that thermal load. A mains window of 380–500 VAC allows deployment on common industrial distribution systems without an autotransformer. For controlled stopping, the integrated brake chopper diverts regenerative energy into a dedicated resistor, preventing DC-link overvoltage during fast deceleration. Communication is enhanced by the A-slot option card, a Modbus TCP MCA 122 interface that provides real-time parameter access over standard Ethernet infrastructure and simplifies PLC integration.

The housing carries an IP20 chassis rating, so it must be mounted inside a protective enclosure while still providing finger-safe access. Power is fed through a three-phase power connection, matching typical plant feeders. All printed circuit boards are coated to shield against conductive dust and moisture, extending service life in humid panels. An internal RFI filter attenuates conducted emissions, helping the cabinet meet EMC limits without external line filters. Standard cable entries, normal cabinet-frame mounting, and the numerical local control panel support straightforward setup and on-site parameter adjustment.
