The Danfoss 131B0040 is a VLT AutomationDrive FC 302 variable frequency drive developed for accurate motor speed and torque control in industrial machinery. Its complete model designation is FC-302P4K0T5E20H1XGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX.
This model is rated at 4.0 kW or 5.0 HP and operates from a three-phase 380–500 V AC power supply. It is suitable for compatible industrial motors used in automated production equipment, material handling systems, pumps, fans and machine auxiliary drives.
The drive uses an IP20 chassis enclosure and an A2 frame. It is intended for installation inside a protected electrical control cabinet where adequate ventilation, grounding and environmental protection are provided.
A graphical local control panel is included in this configuration. The panel allows technicians to view operating data, access parameters, review alarms and perform local commissioning directly from the drive.
The 131B0040 contains an RFI Class A1/B filter with Category C1 classification. It is supplied without an integrated brake chopper, without coated printed circuit boards and without an additional mains option.
The full model code also confirms that this version has no factory-installed A-option communication card and no B-option module. It should therefore not be advertised as including PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or another optional fieldbus interface unless a separate communication card has actually been installed.
The FC 302 platform is designed for applications requiring controlled acceleration, deceleration, speed regulation and motor torque response. Correct motor sizing and parameter configuration are necessary to achieve reliable operation.
The Danfoss 131B0040 can be used for new equipment, machine upgrades or replacement of an existing drive with the same order code. Buyers should compare the complete type code because FC 302 drives with the same power rating may have different enclosures, brake circuits, control panels, PCB coatings and communication options.

Variable-speed motor operation
Controlled acceleration
Controlled deceleration
Motor torque regulation
Stable low-speed performance
Automatic motor adaptation
Motor current monitoring
Motor overload protection
Process feedback control
Energy-efficient operation
All motor nameplate values and operating limits must be entered correctly during commissioning.
Graphical Local Control Panel
The included graphical local control panel provides direct access to drive settings and operating information.
Typical functions include:
Parameter navigation
Motor status monitoring
Output frequency display
Motor current display
Alarm and warning review
Local start and stop commands
Speed reference adjustment

Troubleshooting support
Communication Configuration
The full model code contains no A-option fieldbus module.
This means the standard 131B0040 configuration should not be described as including:
PROFIBUS DP
PROFINET
EtherNet/IP
DeviceNet
CANopen
Modbus TCP
A compatible communication module may be installed separately when supported by the drive. Any optional card should be identified by its own model and part number.
Braking Notice
The Danfoss 131B0040 does not include an integrated brake chopper.
The application should be reviewed carefully when it involves:
Rapid motor stopping
Frequent deceleration cycles
High-inertia loads
Vertical lifting equipment
Overhauling loads
Regenerative motor operation
A braking resistor should not be connected unless the installed drive hardware and system design provide the required braking support.
Environmental Notice
The printed circuit boards in this configuration are not coated.
The drive should be installed in a clean, dry and adequately ventilated cabinet. Additional protection may be required in environments containing:
High humidity
Conductive dust
Oil mist
Coolant spray
Chemical vapors
Corrosive gases
For aggressive environments, a coated PCB version may be more appropriate.
Compatibility Notice
The correct replacement identification is:
Order Code

Full Model
FC-302P4K0T5E20H1XGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX
Do not select a replacement using only the FC 302 series name or the 4.0 kW power rating.
Different FC 302 configurations may vary in:
Input voltage
Enclosure rating
Frame size
Brake chopper
RFI filter
Control panel
PCB coating
Fieldbus communication
Additional I/O
Safety functions
Software configuration
The complete type code should be compared with the original drive before purchase.
Installation Guidelines
Install the drive inside a suitable electrical cabinet.
Maintain the required cooling clearance.
Confirm the three-phase 380–500 V AC supply.
Use correctly rated input 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.
Confirm motor rotation before full operation.
Protect the unit from moisture and conductive contamination.
Allow the DC-link capacitors to discharge before servicing.
Installation should be performed by qualified electrical personnel.
FAQ
Q1: What is the power rating of Danfoss 131B0040?
A1: The drive is rated at 4.0 kW or 5.0 HP.
Q2: What is the complete model number?
