195N0038 by Danfoss

The 195N0038 is a low-voltage AC drive manufactured by Danfoss as part of the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drives series. It is intended for process-oriented automation where precise motor speed adjustment improves throughput and reduces energy consumption. By converting fixed mains frequency to a variable output, the unit allows standard induction motors to match real-time load demands in conveyors, mixers, and similar equipment. This type of control also helps maintain more consistent motor operation when process conditions change during normal production.

This drive delivers 1.5 HP of mechanical output, which corresponds to a continuous electrical capability of 1.1 kW. It is powered from a three-phase supply in the range of 200-240 V AC, so it can be installed on typical low-voltage distribution networks without a step-down transformer. The enclosure carries an IP20 rating, so the drive must be mounted inside a control cabinet to protect it from dust and accidental contact. Thermal design supports full current up to 45 °C ambient, allowing operation in warm production areas without derating. No factory-installed EMC filter is present, so external mitigation may be required when conducted emissions must meet a specific standard.

Operator interaction is provided by a built-in display (SLCP) that shows setpoints, status codes, and alarm history. The narrow book-style housing conserves cabinet space and permits high packing density on DIN rails or panel layouts. The hardware uses the standard configuration with brake, allowing dynamic braking resistors to be wired directly for rapid motor deceleration. Network communication is not fitted, and the unit comes without a fieldbus option, so control is handled through terminal I/O or the front keypad. Coating is omitted from the circuit boards to support heat transfer, which suits general-purpose use in enclosed control cabinets.
