Product Description:

The FECP01.1-15K0-3P400-A-BN-NNNN-01V01 is a frequency converter built by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the FEC Frequency Converters series. This first-generation, Design 1 unit introduces variable-frequency control to pump and fan installations commonly found in process cooling, HVAC, and water-treatment loops. By creating a modulated output waveform that tracks demand signals from the automation controller, it reduces throttling losses, maintains stable flow, and extends mechanical seal life in rotating equipment.

The drive delivers a continuous output of 15 kW, aligning with medium-sized pump skids and ventilation stations. It operates from a supply window of 3 AC 380 to 480 V, which places it in the 400 VAC voltage class, and it accepts a 3-phase mains connection that balances line currents and reduces conductor size. Short-term load spikes are handled by an overload reserve of 120 % for 60 seconds, while extended duty rises are limited to 105% for 60 minutes; these margins permit safe acceleration of heavy impellers without additional derating. The converter carries an IP20 protection class, meaning live parts are finger-safe when the unit is mounted inside a closed control cabinet.

A dynamic braking circuit is integrated as an internal brake chopper, so excess regenerative energy is dissipated locally and external resistors are unnecessary for most deceleration events. The housing is classified as Size 3 and is supplied in a large-panel format, leaving ample room for top or bottom cable entry inside the cabinet. Overall frontal width is 275 mm, which simplifies side-by-side mounting with other drives of equal frame height. For setpoint entry, the unit relies entirely on fieldbus or analog signals; it comes without a potentiometer, a choice that protects the high-durability keypad from mechanical wear while keeping the enclosure rating uncompromised.
