Product Description:

The FECP01.1-160K-3P660-Z-RN-NNNN-01V01 is a frequency converter manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the FEC Frequency Converters series. It is intended for pump and fan applications, where motor speed is adjusted to match the required air or fluid flow. This unit is Design 1 from Generation 1 and uses an external brake chopper, which sends regenerated energy to an auxiliary resistor instead of back into the DC link. It uses V/f control and carries a P-Type duty classification for three-phase operation in continuous process equipment.

The drive delivers a continuous output of 160 kW and operates from a nominal supply of 660 V AC. Output frequency is adjustable up to 650 Hz, which allows the converter to run standard motors as well as higher-speed motor setups on the same platform. It can tolerate an overload of 120% for 60 seconds before automatic current limiting begins, and long-duration thermal loading is covered separately at 105% for 60 minutes. The enclosure is rated IP20, so it provides finger-safe protection but still requires installation inside a protected cabinet. Mechanical size 7 supports high-power installation, and the lack of a built-in potentiometer means the speed reference must come from external controls or a host PLC.

Installation is permitted up to 1000 m above sea level without derating, and above that point the inverter loses 1% of allowable current for each additional 100 m of elevation. The permitted ambient temperature range is -10 to +40 °C, and forced ventilation is recommended when higher temperatures are expected. A front width of 570 mm helps determine cabinet spacing, airflow paths, and cable entry layout. Operation is allowed at relative humidity below 90% in non-condensing conditions. The housing also carries the manufacturer’s high-durability designation for continuous service in vibration-prone plant areas.
