The Danfoss 131B0008 is a VLT AutomationDrive FC 302 variable frequency drive configured for precise motor speed and torque control in industrial machinery. Its complete model designation is FC-302P2K2T2E20H1BXXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX.
Rated at 2.2 kW or 3.0 HP, this drive operates from a three-phase 200–240 V AC mains supply. It is suitable for compatible asynchronous and permanent magnet motors used in manufacturing equipment, conveyor systems, pumps, fans and automated machinery.
The unit uses an IP20 chassis enclosure and compact A2 frame, making it suitable for installation inside a protected electrical control cabinet. Correct ventilation, grounding and environmental protection must be provided by the cabinet design.
A key feature of order code 131B0008 is the integrated brake chopper. This allows a correctly selected external braking resistor to be used in applications requiring faster motor deceleration or dissipation of regenerative energy.
This model is supplied without a local control panel. Parameter setting, status monitoring and commissioning therefore require either a compatible Danfoss control panel, commissioning software or control-system connection.
The complete type code confirms that the printed circuit boards are not coated and that no optional fieldbus A module or additional B-option module is installed. The standard unit should therefore not be advertised as including PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or another optional industrial network.
The FC 302 platform provides flexible control for applications requiring controlled starting, stopping, acceleration, deceleration and speed regulation. Reliable performance depends on correct motor sizing, parameter setup, wiring and braking resistor selection.
The Danfoss 131B0008 can be used in new machine construction, automation upgrades or replacement of an existing drive with the same order code. The complete model code should always be verified because FC 302 drives with identical power ratings may have different voltage, braking, panel, coating and communication configurations.

Brake Chopper Function
The integrated brake chopper allows regenerative energy from the motor to be transferred to a compatible external braking resistor.
This feature is useful in applications involving:
Rapid motor deceleration
Frequent start-and-stop cycles
High-inertia rotating loads
Fast conveyor stopping
Reversing machinery
Dynamic braking requirements
The braking resistor is not automatically included with the drive and must be selected according to:
Motor power
Regenerative energy
Braking duty cycle
Required stopping time
Minimum resistor value
Resistor thermal capacity
Incorrect resistor selection can damage the drive or create an overheating risk.
Motor Control Capability
Depending on the connected motor and parameter configuration, the FC 302 platform can support:
Variable-speed motor control
Controlled acceleration
Controlled deceleration
Torque regulation
Stable low-speed operation
Automatic motor adaptation
Motor current monitoring
Motor overload protection
Process feedback control
Energy-efficient motor operation
The correct motor nameplate values must be entered during commissioning.
Control Panel Notice
The Danfoss 131B0008 is supplied without a local control panel.
A compatible control panel may be required for:
Parameter entry
Local start and stop control
Status monitoring
Alarm review
Parameter copying
Manual commissioning
The exact panel model should be selected according to FC 302 compatibility and installation requirements.
Communication Configuration
The full model code contains no factory-installed A-option fieldbus module.
The standard 131B0008 configuration should not be described as including:
PROFIBUS DP
PROFINET
EtherNet/IP
DeviceNet
CANopen
Modbus TCP
A compatible optional communication card may be installed separately. Any installed module should be confirmed from the physical unit or its separate part number.
Environmental Notice
The printed circuit boards in this configuration are not coated.
Install the drive in a clean, dry and properly ventilated electrical cabinet. Additional protection may be required in environments containing:
High humidity
Conductive dust
Oil mist
Coolant spray
Corrosive gases
Chemical vapors
For harsh industrial environments, a coated-PCB FC 302 configuration may be more appropriate.
Compatibility Notice
The correct identification is:
Order Code
131B0008
Full Model
FC-302P2K2T2E20H1BXXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX
Do not choose a replacement using only the FC 302 series name or the 2.2 kW power rating.
FC 302 models can differ in:
Input voltage
Enclosure rating
Frame size
Brake chopper
Control panel
PCB coating
RFI filter
Communication module
Additional I/O

The full model code should match the original unit whenever possible.
Installation Guidelines
Confirm the three-phase 200–240 V AC supply.
Install the drive inside a protected cabinet.
Maintain the required ventilation clearance.
Use correctly rated mains and motor cables.
Connect protective grounding before applying power.
Separate motor wiring from signal cables.
Use shielded motor cable where EMC compliance is required.
Enter the correct motor nameplate data.
Set suitable acceleration and deceleration times.
Select the braking resistor according to Danfoss requirements.
Do not connect a braking resistor below the permitted resistance value.
Verify motor rotation before full operation.
Allow the DC-link capacitors to discharge before servicing.
Installation should be performed by qualified electrical personnel.
