Product Description:

The FC-301P11KT4E20H2BGCXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX is a variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss within the VLT FC 301 Automation Drives series. Belonging to the broader VLT AutomationDrive FC product group, it converts a fixed-frequency three-phase supply into a controllable output that lets machinery match motor speed to process requirements, reducing energy consumption and mechanical stress in automated systems. Standard control terminals make the unit easy to interface with PLCs and discrete I/O used throughout modern production lines.

The drive supplies up to 11 kW of continuous power, a rating that limits the motor load it can support without derating. This output equates to 15 HP in imperial units. It is designed to operate on an incoming line of 380–480 VAC, allowing direct connection to common industrial feeders. The input topology expects three-phase power, and balanced line currents minimize harmonics and neutral loading. The drive has IP20 chassis protection, so its terminals are touch-safe when it is installed inside a cabinet, but the unit is not sealed against dust or moisture. Air moves through internal channels to remove heat from the power modules, allowing full output at ambient temperatures up to 50 °C when cabinet ventilation is adequate.

An internal brake chopper manages regenerated energy by switching it to an external resistor, keeping the DC bus voltage stable during rapid deceleration. The drive supports normal cabinet mounting for A, B, and C frames, enabling the same general panel arrangement across different frame sizes. Operators interact through a graphical local control panel that displays parameters, alarms, and real-time data. The drive uses coated printed circuit boards to guard against conductive dust and ambient humidity. It is supplied without additional electromagnetic compatibility hardware and relies on the built-in filter when the “No extra EMC filter” option is selected.
