132F0018 Danfoss VLT Micro Drive FC-051 0.75kW VFD

Product Overview

The 132F0018 (132F0018) is a highly compact and efficient variable frequency drive from the Danfoss VLT® Micro Drive FC-051 series. Engineered for a power rating of 0.75 kW (1.0 hp), this three-phase drive is designed to optimize motor performance in space-constrained industrial environments. Despite its small footprint, the 132F0018 integrates professional-grade features such as coated PCBs for increased durability in harsh environments and a built-in H3 RFI filter (Class A1/B) to ensure electromagnetic compatibility. It is an ideal solution for controlling conveyor systems, pumps, fans, and general-purpose machinery where reliable speed control and energy efficiency are critical to operational success.

Technical Specifications

Technical FAQs

Does the 132F0018 include an interface for programming?

No, this specific part number (132F0018) is supplied without an LCP (Local Control Panel). To program the drive locally, you must utilize a pluggable LCP 11 (without potentiometer) or LCP 12 (with potentiometer), or use the MCT 10 setup software via a PC interface.

What is the benefit of the "C" (Coated PCB) option?

The coated PCB protects the internal electronics from environmental contaminants such as humidity, salt air, and conductive dust. This significantly increases the drive's lifespan and reliability in demanding industrial settings compared to non-coated variants.

Can this drive be used for high-speed motor applications?

Yes. In U/f control mode, the 132F0018 can output a frequency of up to 400 Hz, making it suitable for high-speed spindles or specialized fans, provided the motor is rated for such operation.

Engineering & Installation Guide

• Side-by-Side Mounting: The FC-051 is designed for high-density installation. Units can be mounted side-by-side without derating, but a minimum of 100 mm clearance must be maintained above and below the drive to allow for natural convection cooling through the heat sink.

• RFI Compliance: The integrated H3 filter meets C1 standards. To maintain this rating and prevent EMI issues, ensure the motor cable is shielded and that the shield is properly grounded to the drive’s metal decoupling plate using a 360-degree clamp.

• Input Protection: To protect the drive against mains transients, always install recommended ultra-fast fuses or a circuit breaker on the input side. For three-phase 400V operation at 0.75 kW, ensure the branch circuit protection matches the 2.2 A rated input current requirements.
