Product Description:

The FC-301P2K2T2131B1138 is a variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT FC 301 Automation Drives series. Designed for industrial automation, the unit converts fixed-frequency three-phase power into a controlled output waveform that matches motor speed to real-time process demand. This control supports efficient torque and speed regulation in conveyors, pumps, material-handling systems, and similar equipment. The drive adjusts output frequency and voltage in response to control commands, allowing connected motors to operate across the required process range.

The drive supplies a continuous output current of 10.6 A when connected to a mains supply of 200–240 VAC. This capacity supports motors rated up to 2.2 kW, while the power conversion efficiency is 0.96. Control inputs accept pulse frequencies up to 110 kHz, preserving high-resolution commands from compatible PLCs, encoders, and motion control devices. Two analog inputs provide 10-bit resolution, while two analog outputs provide 12-bit resolution for process monitoring and control. A pair of digital outputs can each source up to 40 mA for external signaling functions. The inverter draws 9.5 A of continuous input current and permits a maximum phase imbalance of 3%. Internal logic limits power cycling to two starts per minute to reduce stress on the DC-link capacitors.

The drive has an apparent power demand of 3.82 kVA, and full-load operation produces 116 W of heat. These values help determine supply capacity and the airflow required within the enclosure. Motor leads can extend up to 50 m when shielded cable is used, while unshielded cable can extend up to 75 m without exceeding the drive’s dV/dt limits. The permitted cable lengths support flexible placement of the drive and motor while maintaining appropriate output performance. A motor output of 3.0 HP provides a direct reference for machinery documented with customary U.S. power units.
