Product Description:

The 132F0009 micro drive is manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT FC 51 Micro Drives series and belongs to the VLT Micro Drive product group. As a compact AC variable-frequency controller, it regulates the speed of fractional-kilowatt induction motors used in small conveyors, pumps, and ventilation equipment. By placing the drive between the plant mains supply and the motor, the system can vary output frequency and voltage so motor speed follows process demand while the enclosure footprint remains small.

The input section accepts 200 - 240 VAC on a three-phase network, matching standard low-voltage industrial power systems used in compact machinery. Internally, the drive can deliver up to 0.37 kW of continuous electrical output, which corresponds to 0.50 HP for light-duty motor applications. A chassis-mount housing with an IP20 protection level permits installation inside ventilated control enclosures, where contact protection is required but exposure to moisture should be limited. Integrated electromagnetic suppression meets RFI Class A1/B for conducted emissions on public mains. Because no brake chopper is built in, rapid deceleration may require the motor’s inherent losses or an external braking method.

Circuit longevity is supported by a coated PCB that helps protect components from dust and humidity during normal panel operation. Field wiring passes through standard cable entries, which keeps installation straightforward for routine power and control connections. The unit has no local control panel, no separate mains disconnect option, and no dynamic safe stop hardware, so those functions must be provided elsewhere if needed by the application. This layout suits installations where setup and operation are handled from external terminals or a host controller. It is supplied with the latest standard software release, which keeps the control package current for this model.
