Product Description:

The FC-301P1K5T2131H9489 is an AC variable frequency drive produced by Danfoss for the VLT FC 301 Automation Drives series. By converting fixed-frequency three-phase mains power into a modulated output, the unit allows industrial controllers to adjust induction motor speed and torque. This electronic control eliminates the need for mechanical throttling in conveyors, pumps, and general motion axes in automated plants.

At 230 V, the drive provides a rated motor output of 1.5 kW, which corresponds to 2.0 HP, for small industrial motors operating within its 200–240 VAC supply range. An efficiency rating of 0.96 helps limit heat generation during operation. The output frequency can be commanded up to 590 Hz, while a 300 Hz flux limit protects magnetizing current when vector control is active. The converter provides a continuous motor current of 7.5 A and draws no more than 6.8 A from the line under nominal conditions. The control board supplies a stable 10.5 V reference for potentiometers and a 24 V logic rail with a tolerance of +1/-3 V. Each digital output can source or sink 40 mA. Analog feedback has 12-bit resolution, and an onboard relay can switch 240 V AC at 2 A for alarms or contactors.

The apparent input demand is 2.99 kVA, while thermal dissipation is limited to 82 W. An auxiliary control supply can provide 200 mA for encoders or brakes without overloading the internal regulators. Shielded motor cables may reach 50 m, while unshielded cables may extend up to 75 m, allowing the inverter to be installed away from the machine frame. These cable limits help keep capacitance and radiated emissions within the switching capacity of the insulated-gate bipolar transistors. Proper cable selection also supports stable motor operation across the permitted installation distances.
