Product Description:

The FECG01.1-1K50-1P200-A-SP-NNNN-01V01 is part of the FEC Frequency Converters series manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. Classified as a first-generation, Design 1 device in mechanical size 1, it addresses general automation duties where variable-speed induction motors must follow process commands. By modifying the supply frequency rather than throttling mechanical elements, the unit reduces energy consumption and wear on conveyors, mixers, and small machining centers. Its compact construction suits installation in decentralized cabinets that serve modular production lines.

Electrical performance centers on a continuous output of 1.5 kW, delivered from a single-phase input network that simplifies wiring in facilities lacking three-phase mains. The converter uses an internal brake chopper to absorb regenerated energy during rapid deceleration, which helps prevent DC-bus overvoltage without external hardware. The housing carries an IP20 protection class, so the converter must be installed in a protected enclosure that is free of conductive dust while still allowing unobstructed convection cooling. The drive requires only 125 mm of horizontal rail space because frequency conversion, filtering, and basic operator functions are housed within the same narrow frame.

The drive withstands demanding start-and-stop cycles and tolerates 200% of nominal current for one second as well as 150% for 60 seconds before thermal limits are reached. This performance is described as high overload capacity, which allows brief torque surges without immediate derating. Setup is simplified because the front panel is equipped with a potentiometer, allowing direct adjustment of reference speed during setup or test runs. Even with these features, the converter retains a small size panel classification, so multiple axes can fit within the same enclosure bay without requiring oversized switchgear.
