178B1398 Danfoss Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)

Part number 178B1398 from Danfoss, listed in Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). KKM Solutions quotes this part with pricing and availability confirmed per order.

The 178B1398 is an AC variable-frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss within the FCD 300 Micro Drives series. Intended for installation directly on a machine frame, the unit converts fixed-frequency three-phase power into a regulated output that governs motor speed and torque. By locating the control electronics close to the motor, wiring runs are shortened and cabinet space is conserved, making the drive a practical choice for distributed control zones in conveyors, mixers, and other continuous-process equipment. The drive operates from a supply of 3x380-480V and can deliver up to 1.5 kW , which equates to a mechanical shaft capability of 2.0 HP . An enclosure rating of IP66 protects the inverter against dust and high-pressure washdown encountered on plant floors. Communication with higher-level controllers is available through Profibus DP V0/V1 12 Mbaud , allowing remote parameter access and alarm reporting without additional gateways. A standard display connector supports clip-on keypads for local commissioning, while internal monitoring circuits supervise temperature and current to maintain safe operation during extended processing duty. Several construction details reinforce suitability for a Processing Application environment. Input conductors pass through a With integral 1A filter that suppresses conducted emissions to meet EMC limits. The hardware package is classified as Extended with brake , providing a built-in DC brake function for rapid motor stopping when the process sequence demands it. Power and signal wiring enter through a Wall mounted box, metric threaded terminal arrangement that eases sealed conduit installation. A standard protective coating resists airborne moisture, and the product type remains consistent with the broader FCD 300 line, ensuring common parameter structure across decentralized drive nodes.
