Product Description:

The 131Z5996 is a decentralized variable-frequency drive from Danfoss in the VLT FCD 302 Decentral Drives series. Mounted near the motor, it regulates speed and torque directly on conveyors, mixers, or pumps. That layout shortens motor cable runs and helps free cabinet space in automated production lines.

This model accepts a three-phase input of 380–480 VAC, matching common low-voltage industrial mains. Its power stage is rated at 3.0 kW, while the mechanical output is listed as 4.0 HP for medium-duty induction motors. The housing reaches IP66/NEMA4X, so the drive can withstand washdown exposure and airborne particulates when mounted directly on machinery.

An integrated suppression network meets RFI Class A1/C2 to limit conducted emissions on the supply cables. Control wiring stays simple because there is no fieldbus option, so local I/O or a hardwired reference connects straight to the terminal strip. Because the unit has no brake and no mains plug, braking energy must be managed externally and supply conductors are hardwired through standard gland fittings.

Wake Industrial stocks this drive and supports same-day shipping on qualifying orders. Every purchase includes a 1-year warranty, and quotations remain valid for 30 days. The chat tool available on the website can be used for general questions about type codes or fault codes. That makes it useful when maintenance teams need a sealed replacement quickly and prefer to keep line changes minimal during shutdown windows to restore production with less interruption overall.
