195N1041 by Danfoss

The 195N1041 is an AC low-voltage drive produced by Danfoss within the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drives series. Aimed at process applications, it functions as a compact inverter that converts fixed mains power to a variable output for induction motors used in automated equipment. By manipulating frequency and voltage, it lets a controller match motor speed to real-time load demands. This supports steadier operation in pumps, fans, mixers, and conveyors where process stability matters.

The drive accepts an input of 380-480 V AC at 50/60 Hz, so it can be connected directly to typical industrial mains without a step-down transformer. Internally, the power stage is designed for a three-phase supply, which balances line currents and reduces harmonic stress on upstream equipment. Under continuous duty, it delivers 1.5 kW of electrical power, equivalent to 2.0 HP at the motor shaft when standard-efficiency machines are used. This output level suits small industrial motors used in light conveying, pumping, and ventilation tasks. Its housing carries an IP20 protection rating, so it should be installed in a clean, enclosed cabinet where dust and moisture are controlled.

Supervision of operating limits is handled locally by a built-in display (SLCP) that shows setpoints, fault codes, and service hours. This local interface allows basic status checks and parameter review without external tools. The narrow, vertical book-style format lets multiple units share a small enclosure depth, which is useful in retrofit installations where rail length is fixed. To accommodate plants that already use centralized EMC filters, this model is supplied without an RFI filter, and its circuit boards are manufactured without a coating. No application option card is preinstalled, so the base hardware remains open for standard control setups.
