Product Description:

The FECP02.1-15K0-3P400-A-BN-MODB-01V01 is a frequency converter manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the FEC Frequency Converters series. As a variable-speed drive, it adjusts motor frequency and voltage so pump and fan systems can match process demand. This helps reduce energy use and mechanical stress in industrial automation. It also supports smoother starts and more stable speed changes during normal operation.

This converter delivers a continuous output of 15 kW, giving it enough capacity for mid-sized centrifugal machines. It accepts incoming power within a 3 AC 380 to 480 V window, allowing installation on common 400 VAC networks without an additional transformer. The housing carries an IP20 rating, which protects internal electronics from solid foreign objects larger than 12 mm and requires mounting inside a clean control cabinet. A panel width of 275 mm sets part of the enclosure footprint, while mechanical size 3 helps determine spacing in the cabinet. Communication with higher-level controllers is handled through the Modbus interface, enabling parameter changes and status monitoring over standard fieldbus wiring. When installed in a cabinet, the unit should be positioned so cooling air can move freely through the drive.

Sustained overload handling reaches 120% for 60 seconds to cover short acceleration peaks, while a lower thermal margin of 105% for 60 minutes supports extended moderate surges without triggering protective shutdowns. Input power must be supplied on a 3-phase line, and an internal brake chopper dissipates regenerated energy during rapid deceleration. This helps manage energy that returns from the motor during stopping or speed reduction. The device belongs to the 2nd generation of the FEC platform, is classified as Design 1, and is supplied without a potentiometer so speed reference is set digitally. That arrangement supports remote adjustment through the control system instead of manual setting at the drive.
