Product Description:

The FC-301P1K5T2134L2702 is a variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss as part of the VLT FC 301 Automation Drives series. Designed for panel installation, the unit converts three-phase mains power into a controlled PWM output so plant controllers can vary motor speed and torque instead of using mechanical throttling. Its panel-mounted format keeps mains, motor, and control wiring within the enclosure while supporting integration into distributed automation cells.

Rated at 1.5 kW, the drive supplies continuous electrical power to induction motors within its thermal profile. The power section accepts a 200 – 240 VAC input and is wired for three-phase power, keeping phase current balanced even when upstream imbalance reaches the permitted 3% of rated voltage. Operation is supported on utility grids operating at 50/60 Hz; an internal oscillator sustains stable output when supply frequency drifts within the ±5% tolerance. The displacement factor is greater than 0.98, and the true power factor remains at least 0.9, limiting reactive demand on feeders. The DC bus tolerates voltage excursions of ±10%, while a mains-monitoring algorithm issues warnings before limits are exceeded.

Motor capacity is also expressed as 2.0 HP for applications in which drives are sized using imperial units. Control terminals provide 24 V auxiliary power up to 200 mA, and transistorized digital outputs sink 40 mA for status signaling. Analog feedback is generated with 12-bit resolution, enabling precise scaling of process variables. The integrated relay handles 240 V AC at 2 A for interlocking contactors. A voltage tolerance of ±10%, combined with the supported frequency range, maintains full performance during mild utility voltage sags. Shielded motor cables may extend to 50 m, while unshielded runs can reach 75 m when EMC limits are satisfied. These cable allowances permit the controller to be placed away from demanding operating areas without creating excessive motor voltage drop.
