Product Description:

The FVCA01.1-15K0-3P4-MDA-LP-P001-01V01 frequency converter is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the FVCA Frequency Converters series. Designed for three-phase installations, it conditions a nominal 400 V supply that may vary between 380 and 480 V before feeding variable-frequency power to induction or synchronous machines. By replacing mechanical throttling with electronic regulation, the unit improves process accuracy in conveyors, pumps, and mixers while reducing energy drawn from the mains. A compact C-frame housing simplifies cabinet integration on crowded production lines and helps the drive fit into control panels where mounting space is limited. It can also be used where smooth acceleration and deceleration are needed to reduce mechanical shock on driven equipment.

Within that enclosure, the drive is rated for 15.0 kW of continuous output, while its apparent capacity reaches 21.0 kVA. It draws up to 46.0 A from the supply and can furnish 33.0 A to the motor terminals. The enclosure carries an IP 20 rating, so it is intended for installation inside a protective cabinet. Separate panel protection is still required where airborne dust or moisture can reach the installation area. A built-in brake chopper controls regenerative energy, and a Class C3 RFI filter limits conducted emissions in industrial environments. The heat sink trips at 85 °C to protect the power devices, and vector control maintains 0.05% speed error with 0.01% digital setpoint resolution.

High-resolution signaling supports the converter during speed and torque regulation. The default carrier frequency is 6.0 kHz, and output steps can be commanded in 0.01 Hz increments. Field-oriented control delivers 200% startup torque across a 1000:1 speed window, assisted by four analog inputs, ten digital inputs, one encoder channel, and two relay outputs. This mix of I/O supports reference signals, feedback devices, and basic machine interlocks without separate interface hardware. Commands arrive through a Modbus interface or the front-panel potentiometer, and operating data appears on the LCD display. The unit is design revision 1 with release number 01 in series line 01, and the converter measures 175 mm wide, 199 mm deep, and 398 mm high with a weight of 9.0 kg.
