Product Description:

The FECG01.1-132K-3P400-A-BN-NNNN-01V01 is a frequency converter manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the FEC Frequency Converters series. In general automation, it converts fixed mains power into a controlled output so induction or synchronous motors can run at speeds matched to the process. This allows smoother acceleration and deceleration, more stable speed regulation, and easier reversal without relying on mechanical transmission changes. The product is part of the first generation and uses design version 1, which keeps the layout consistent with related units in the same platform.

The enclosure has a protection level of IP20, so the unit is intended for installation inside a control cabinet where live parts remain protected from accidental contact. With a rated output of 132 kW, it is suited to large pump, fan, and conveyor duties that require substantial motor power over a broad operating range. The power stage accepts 380 to 480 V AC from a three-phase supply, which matches common industrial mains and helps distribute current evenly across the incoming lines. Mechanical size seven uses a housing width of 570 mm, so panel space, cable routing, and cooling clearances should be planned accordingly. This cabinet-based arrangement also helps keep ventilation paths organized around the heat-generating components.

A notable operating trait is its high overload capacity, which lets the drive support temporary demand increases during starting, ramp changes, or short disturbances in load. It can withstand 200% for 1 second and 150% for 60 seconds without tripping, which helps when a driven machine has high inertia or needs extra torque for brief intervals. Braking energy is managed by an external brake chopper, allowing rapid deceleration without placing that thermal load inside the converter. Because the unit is supplied without a built-in potentiometer, speed reference and other setpoints are entered through the control terminals or a communication interface. This approach keeps local hardware simple and supports centralized control from the surrounding automation system.
