Product Description:

The 136X5218 AC drive is manufactured by Danfoss as part of the VLT FC 51 Micro Drives series. This panel-mounted converter controls the speed and torque of small three-phase induction motors in conveyors, pumps, and fan arrays used throughout industrial automation. By modulating the output frequency according to process commands, it allows equipment builders to match mechanical output to demand, reduce energy consumption, and limit startup current without adding mechanical flow-control devices. Its compact format also supports installation in control panels where available mounting space is limited.

Electrical compatibility centers on an input range of 380–480 VAC supplied through a three-phase network, allowing the unit to connect directly to common industrial power systems. At the motor terminals, the inverter can continuously supply 0.75 kW, which corresponds to 1.0 HP. This power stage is integrated into a chassis with an IP20 chassis rating, making live parts finger-safe while still requiring installation inside a closed cabinet when dust, oil, or moisture may be present. Insulated-gate transistors synthesize the output voltage at drive-specific carrier frequencies, supporting stable motor torque throughout the adjustable speed range. The converter regulates output voltage and frequency in response to control commands, allowing the connected motor to accelerate, operate, and decelerate at the required rates.

Wiring and panel installation are streamlined through standard cable entries, eliminating the need for customized gland plates. The drive is supplied with no brake chopper, so it cannot directly route regenerated energy to a braking resistor during deceleration. Applications requiring rapid stops must allow longer deceleration times or use suitable external braking equipment. The unit also has no integrated mains option, so incoming fuses, circuit breakers, and any required line filters must be installed separately. These protective devices should be selected for the available supply voltage, prospective fault current, and applicable installation requirements. The drive uses the parameter structure and control functions associated with the FC 51 platform, supporting consistent configuration across compatible ratings without requiring mechanical flow-control components.
