The Danfoss 131B0033 is a compact VLT AutomationDrive FC 302 variable frequency drive designed for precise speed and torque regulation in industrial motor-control applications. Its complete model designation is FC-302PK37T5E20H1XGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX.
This drive is rated at 0.37 kW or 0.50 HP and operates from a three-phase 380–500 V AC power supply. It is suitable for controlling compatible low-power asynchronous motors and permanent magnet motors used in machinery, production equipment and automated process systems.
The IP20 chassis enclosure is designed for installation inside a protected electrical control cabinet. Its compact A2 frame makes the unit suitable for applications where panel space is limited while advanced motor-control performance is still required.
The 131B0033 includes a graphical local control panel, allowing technicians to view operating values, configure parameters, copy settings and perform local commissioning directly from the drive.
This configuration includes an RFI Class A1/B filter with Category C1 classification. It is supplied without a brake chopper, without coated printed circuit boards and without an additional mains option.
The complete type code also confirms that no fieldbus A option and no additional B option are installed. Therefore, this particular order code should not be advertised as including PROFIBUS DP, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET or another optional communication card.
The FC 302 platform provides flexible motor-control functions for applications requiring controlled acceleration, deceleration, speed regulation and torque response. Actual performance depends on correct motor sizing, parameter setup and installation.
The Danfoss 131B0033 is suitable for new machine construction, replacement projects and maintenance of equipment already using the same order code. Buyers should verify the full model string because other FC 302 drives with the same power rating may have different brake, coating, communication or control-panel options.

Motor Control Functions
The FC 302 platform can provide controlled motor operation for machinery requiring accurate speed and torque response.
Depending on the selected motor and parameter configuration, the drive can support:
Variable-speed motor control
Controlled acceleration
Controlled deceleration
Motor torque regulation
Stable low-speed operation
Automatic motor adaptation
Motor current monitoring
Motor overload protection
Process feedback control
Energy-efficient motor operation
All motor nameplate values must be entered correctly during commissioning.
Graphical Control Panel
The included graphical local control panel provides direct access to drive information and parameter settings.
Typical panel functions include:
Parameter navigation
Operating status display
Motor current monitoring
Speed reference display
Alarm and warning review
Local start and stop control
Parameter copying
Commissioning assistance
The graphical panel improves usability compared with a basic numeric display, especially during setup and troubleshooting.
Communication Configuration
The complete model code contains no A-option communication card.
This means the standard 131B0033 configuration should not be described as including:
PROFIBUS DP
PROFINET
EtherNet/IP
DeviceNet
CANopen
Modbus TCP
An optional communication module may be added only if it is technically compatible and physically installed. Any separately installed module should be identified by its own part number.
Braking Notice
The Danfoss 131B0033 does not contain an integrated brake chopper.
This configuration should be carefully reviewed for applications involving:
Rapid motor stopping
High-inertia loads
Frequent deceleration
Vertical lifting motion
Regenerative motor operation
Do not connect a braking resistor directly unless the actual drive hardware and system design support the required braking arrangement.
Environmental Notice
The printed circuit boards in this configuration are not coated.
The drive should therefore be installed in a clean, dry and properly ventilated electrical cabinet. Extra protection may be required in environments containing:
High humidity
Conductive dust
Oil mist
Chemical vapors
Corrosive gases
Coolant contamination
For harsh environments, a coated FC 302 configuration may be more suitable.
Compatibility Notice
The correct replacement identification is:
Order Code
131B0033
Full Model
FC-302PK37T5E20H1XGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX
Do not select a replacement using only the FC 302 series name or 0.37 kW power rating.
FC 302 units may differ in:
Input voltage
Enclosure rating
Brake chopper
RFI filter
Control panel
PCB coating
Fieldbus communication
Additional I/O
Safety options
Software configuration
The full model code and order number should match the original installation whenever possible.
Installation Guidelines
Install the drive inside a suitable electrical cabinet.
Maintain the required cooling clearances.
Verify the three-phase 380–500 V supply.
Use correctly rated input and motor cables.
Connect protective grounding before applying power.
Separate motor cables from control wiring.
Use shielded motor cables where required for EMC performance.
Enter the correct motor nameplate data.
Set suitable acceleration and deceleration times.
Check motor rotation before full operation.
Do not expose the drive to moisture or conductive contamination.
Allow the DC-link capacitors to discharge before servicing.
Installation should be completed by qualified electrical personnel.
FAQ
Q1: What is the rated power of Danfoss 131B0033?
A1: It is rated at 0.37 kW or approximately 0.50 HP. It is not a 3.7 kW drive.
Q2: What is the complete model number?
A2: The complete model designation is FC-302PK37T5E20H1XGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX.
Q3: What input voltage does the drive require?
