Product Description:

The FECP01.2-45K0-3P400-A-BN-MODB-01V01 is a frequency converter from Bosch Rexroth Indramat's FEC Frequency Converters series. In pump and fan installations, it modulates motor speed to match process demand, improving energy efficiency and maintaining controlled flow or pressure. The unit fits into centralized control panels in industrial automation where precise adjustment of three-phase induction motors is required. This control method helps connected equipment respond smoothly to changing demand instead of running continuously at full speed. It is suitable for applications where stable motor control is needed across varying operating conditions and process loads.

Rated at 45 kW, the converter handles medium-power drives found in HVAC or process circulation loops. It accepts a line supply of 380 to 480 V AC, and its 3-phase topology balances current across all conductors to help limit torque ripple at the motor. For temporary load spikes, it can sustain 120% for 60 seconds and continue at 105% for 60 minutes, which helps the drive ride through short overload periods without tripping. The enclosure meets IP20 protection, so live parts are finger-safe while the cabinet provides the surrounding protection against dust and moisture. Its size 5 housing gives the unit a consistent panel footprint, and the drive is supplied without a potentiometer so speed references are entered digitally.

During deceleration, braking energy is directed to an external brake chopper, which keeps that heat-producing function outside the converter enclosure. Network supervision and parameter transfer occur over Modbus, allowing integration with existing PLC networks without proprietary gateways. The converter is Design 2 in the first generation, and the housing width is 364 mm. That width leaves additional room for power terminals, control wiring, and cable bends inside the panel. This layout can be useful in larger cabinets where braking components are mounted near line protection and switching devices.
