Product Description:

The FVCA01.1-1K50-3P4-MDA-LP-P002-01V01 frequency converter is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the FVCA Frequency Converters series. It converts fixed mains power into a variable-frequency, variable-voltage output for drive control. This allows three-phase induction motors to accelerate, run, and decelerate under PLC command while reducing energy use and mechanical wear in automated production lines.

The converter delivers a continuous motor output of 1.5 kW, while its apparent input rating is 2.6 kVA. Under nominal conditions, it draws 5.1 A from a three-phase source at 400 V and supplies 4.0 A to the load. The design tolerates 3 AC 380 to 480 V (-15% / +10%), so moderate brownouts or overvoltage events do not interrupt service. The default carrier frequency is 8.0 kHz, which helps limit acoustic noise and smooth current ripple. Modbus connectivity links the drive to supervisory controls, and a front-panel potentiometer permits local speed trimming. An LCD display presents operating parameters, while a Class C3 line filter limits conducted emissions for industrial environments. The integrated brake chopper dissipates regenerative energy during rapid stops.

The unit uses forced-air cooling that moves ambient air across the heat sink, making wall mounting practical. It is intended for wall mounting with four M5 fasteners, and the housing is in frame size A. Lateral clearance is 125 mm, overall height is 275 mm, and depth is 122 mm, so the converter occupies little cabinet space. Despite the compact power stage, the unit has a mass of 2.7 kg, which supports straightforward handling during installation. Protection is rated at IP 20, giving touch-safe access when the converter is installed in clean switchgear rooms. The unit is design revision 1, release number 01, and series line 01.
