Product Description:

The FECP01.2-30K0-3P400-A-BN-NNNN-01V01 is a frequency converter produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the FEC Frequency Converters series. It is intended to modulate the speed of induction motors that drive pump and fan stations, allowing industrial automation systems to match flow or pressure to real-time demand while reducing energy consumption. Its control concept is suited to applications that need stable variable-speed operation rather than highly dynamic axis positioning.

This first-generation, Design 2 converter works with a three-phase mains supply in the 400 VAC class and applies open-loop V/f control to adjust motor torque. The continuous output current limit of 60 A sets the maximum steady load that can be delivered without thermal derating, and a nominal power rating of 30 kW places the unit in the mid-range for centrifugal equipment. Terminals accept up to 3 AC 380 to 480 V, accommodating normal line variation on 50/60 Hz systems. A selectable carrier range of 1 to 8 kHz allows the switching frequency to be adjusted to balance audible noise and inverter losses. For short surges, the inverter can withstand 120% for 60 seconds before protective limiting engages. Regenerated energy is routed to an external brake chopper, and the unit does not include a potentiometer because speed references are expected from the host controller. Mechanical size 4 construction and a large front panel provide ample wiring space for cabinet integration.

The cabinet footprint uses a width of 290 mm, a depth of 236 mm, and a height of 574 mm, while the enclosure mass is 21.5 kg, which supports secure panel mounting. Continuous duty is approved from -10 to +40 °C; within this range, internal components remain within their intended operating limits under natural convection cooling. For extended overloads, the drive tolerates 105% for 60 minutes, which helps pumps clear temporary head increases or similar process demand changes. A protection rating of IP20 suits installation inside a closed cabinet below a site elevation of 1000 m. The stated durability characteristic indicates a design intended for regular industrial service in utility and process support systems.
