175N1763
by Danfoss
The 175N1763 decentralized frequency converter belongs to the FCD 300 Micro Drives series from Danfoss. It is intended to mount close to, or directly on, the motor it controls, so cabinet space can be reduced on processing lines. By adjusting output frequency and voltage, the unit modulates induction-motor speed, enabling conveyors, mixers, and similar equipment to match process demand while limiting energy waste. These micro drives integrate power electronics and basic protection in an IP66 housing, letting operators position them directly in wash-down zones without separate enclosures.
The drive accepts a three-phase mains supply between 3x380-480V and internally converts it to variable voltage for the motor. Its power stage is rated for 0.55 kW, which corresponds to a mechanical shaft capability of .75 HP under nominal conditions. An IP66 enclosure rating confirms dust-tight construction and protection against high-pressure water jets, useful on open plant floors. Noise conducted back to the mains is attenuated by the factory-installed With integral 1A filter, so additional RFI suppressors are not usually necessary. These electrical features allow the controller to be sited far from the main cabinet without derating.
For processing equipment the factory supplies this model in a configuration aimed at straightforward commissioning. Communication networks are omitted; the unit ships Without fieldbus, so parameter changes are made locally via service tools or digital inputs. Because there is No display, status is indicated through external diagnostics or built-in LEDs. A Standard coating protects internal circuitry against ambient moisture, and the electronics are built on standard hardware suitable for typical plant temperatures. Connections are routed through a wall-mount box with metric thread, simplifying installation on machinery frames used in processing applications.
