Product Description:

The FECP01.1-315K-3P400-A-BN-NNNN-01V01 is a frequency converter manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the FEC Frequency Converters series. By modulating output frequency, it lets centrifugal pumps or axial-flow fans match process demand, which can reduce energy use and mechanical stress in HVAC and other automated systems. The internal drive stage conditions incoming power and supplies a controllable voltage-to-frequency profile to the connected motor for steady speed regulation. This operating approach supports variable-flow applications where motor speed needs to follow changing load conditions instead of remaining fixed.

This converter is built for a 3-phase supply configuration, which helps maintain balanced current draw and smoother motor torque. It can withstand overloads of 120% for 60 seconds and 105% for 60 minutes, allowing the drive to handle temporary startup or process-related demand increases without immediate shutdown. Operation is permitted on 3 AC 380 to 480 V mains, covering common industrial low-voltage systems. The enclosure is rated IP20, so the wiring terminals are finger-safe but the unit should be installed inside a cabinet where dust and liquids are controlled. The converter is supplied without a potentiometer, so speed reference entry is handled by an external control source. The larger housing also provides space for bus capacitors that help manage ripple during changing loads.

The design follows the 400 VAC voltage class and is identified as Design 1 of the 1st generation. It is intended for pump and fan duty, where variable flow control is preferred over constant on-off operation. High-cycle components and reinforced solder joints support repeated acceleration and deceleration during routine service. This layout suits installations that need continuous speed adjustment over long operating periods.
