195N1097 by Danfoss

The 195N1097 is an AC variable-frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss as part of the VLT 2800 Low Voltage Drives series. In plant automation, this drive sits between the mains supply and a three-phase motor, modulating output frequency so conveyors, pumps, or mixers in continuous-flow lines run only as fast as the process demands. It is intended for general-purpose process duties where tight speed control, compact size, and simple setup are preferred over advanced networking options. By adjusting motor speed to match line demand, it supports smoother operation when load conditions or throughput targets change.

Rated mechanical output reaches 10 HP, while the electrical power limit is 7.5 kW. Incoming power can vary from 380-480 V ±10% at 50/60 Hz, and the converter accepts that energy on a three-phase supply before producing a pulse-width-modulated waveform for the motor terminals. An IP20 protection rating indicates finger-safe openings but no dust sealing, so the device is intended for mounting inside a control cabinet. This model is supplied without an application option card and without a fieldbus option, and configuration is completed on the built-in keypad. With no fieldbus card installed, command and parameter access remain local to the keypad and standard control terminals. The RFI filter is omitted, and the power module is supplied without coating.

A narrow book-style housing minimizes panel width and aligns airflow channels from front to back for dense stacking. The slim profile helps conserve lateral space in panels where several drives are mounted side by side. Operators interact through the built-in display (SLCP), which shows speed reference, load, and fault text without external tools. Within the VLT 2800 range, this model is classified for the Process segment, so its default parameter set focuses on ramp times, PID support, and motor thermal protection rather than HVAC macros or crane functions. Because no EMC filter or coating is present, the installation should account for ambient dust and conducted-emission limits.
