The Danfoss 131B0022 is a compact VLT AutomationDrive FC 302 frequency converter developed for low-power machinery that requires repeatable speed changes, controlled stopping and dependable motor response.
Its complete type code is FC-302P1K1T2E20H1BGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX. The unit is rated at 1.1 kW or 1.5 HP and operates from a three-phase 200–240 V AC supply.
This configuration is particularly suitable for machines with short operating cycles. Its integrated brake chopper allows regenerative energy to be transferred to a correctly selected external braking resistor, helping the motor decelerate more quickly than with a basic coast-to-stop arrangement.
The narrow A2 frame is only 90 mm wide when no C options are installed. This compact construction allows multiple drives to be arranged efficiently inside OEM machine cabinets where panel space is limited.
A graphical local control panel is supplied with the drive. Maintenance personnel can use the panel to enter motor data, modify acceleration settings, examine operating values and review fault information without requiring a separate display unit.
The 131B0022 uses an H1 RFI Class A1/B filter with Category C1 classification. Appropriate grounding, shielded motor cables and correct cabinet installation are still necessary to achieve the intended EMC performance.
This version uses an uncoated printed circuit board. It must therefore be protected from condensation, conductive dust, oil mist, coolant and corrosive airborne contaminants.
No factory-installed fieldbus, additional I/O, motion-control or external 24 V DC option is included. Optional communication capability should only be stated when a separate module is physically installed and its part number has been confirmed.
The drive is suitable for replacement projects where the original equipment requires the same 200–240 V supply, brake chopper, graphical panel and option configuration.

Equipment with repetitive speed changes
Designed for Short Machine Cycles
Small automated machines often need more than simple motor starting and stopping. They may require the motor to accelerate, maintain a controlled process speed and stop within a limited cycle time.
The 131B0022 supports these operating requirements through adjustable acceleration and deceleration parameters combined with an integrated brake chopper.
Typical cycle-related benefits include:
More controlled motor stopping
Reduced uncontrolled coasting
Repeatable conveyor positioning
Improved timing between machine stations
Better management of frequent speed changes
Support for reversing applications
The achievable stopping time depends on motor inertia, load condition, resistor selection and braking duty.
Dynamic Braking Arrangement
The integrated brake chopper does not mean that a braking resistor is included.
During rapid deceleration, the motor may act as a generator and return energy to the drive’s DC circuit. The brake chopper redirects this energy to a compatible external resistor.
The resistor must be selected according to:
Minimum permitted resistance
Peak regenerative power
Average braking power
Stopping frequency
Braking duty cycle
Motor and load inertia
Required stopping time
Cabinet heat dissipation
Using an incorrectly sized resistor may cause overtemperature faults or damage to the drive and braking components.
Compact Cabinet Integration
The A2 frame has a standard size of approximately:
Height
268 mm
Width
90 mm
Depth
205 mm
This compact format is useful for machine builders who need to install several low-power drives in one electrical panel.
The drive still requires:
Specified cooling clearance
Adequate cabinet ventilation
Correct cable separation
Reliable protective grounding
Protection against direct contact
Protection against moisture and contamination
Graphical Panel Functions
The supplied graphical local control panel can be used for:
Motor-data entry
Parameter navigation
Frequency monitoring
Motor-current monitoring
Speed-reference adjustment
Acceleration setting
Deceleration setting
Alarm review
Warning review
Local motor control
Parameter copying
Commissioning support
Maintenance diagnosis
Motor Commissioning
Correct commissioning is essential for stable motor performance.
Before operation, technicians should verify:
Motor rated voltage
Motor rated current
Motor rated frequency
Motor rated speed
Motor rated power
Acceleration time
Deceleration time
Minimum frequency
Maximum frequency
Motor rotation direction
Braking-resistor settings
Control-terminal functions
Automatic motor adaptation may be used where appropriate for the connected motor and application.
Communication and Expansion Options
The standard 131B0022 type code contains no factory-installed A or B option.
The product should not be described as including:
PROFIBUS DP
PROFINET
EtherNet/IP
DeviceNet
CANopen
Modbus TCP
Extended relay modules
Additional encoder inputs
Motion-control cards
External 24 V DC backup
Compatible expansion modules may be added separately where supported. The installed module and its individual part number must be verified before advertising any optional function.
Environmental Limitations
The drive has an IP20 chassis and an uncoated circuit board.
It is not a washdown, hygienic or outdoor enclosure.
Protect the unit from:
Water spray
Condensation
High humidity
Conductive particles
Metal dust
Oil mist
Coolant contamination
Chemical vapor
Corrosive gas
Direct production-area contact
A suitable cabinet should be selected according to the actual installation environment.
