Product Description:

Danfoss manufactures the FC-301P2K2T2134L2966, a variable-speed drive in the VLT FC 301 Automation Drives series. The module accepts three-phase power and produces a regulated output that allows machinery controllers to set motor torque and speed for material-handling, pumping, or fan duties. A built-in analog channel and two digital outputs provide basic field signals, allowing the drive to exchange setpoints and status information directly with PLCs or stand-alone process controllers.

The inverter delivers a continuous output current of 10.6 A, establishing the thermal limit for motor amperage under rated conditions. Its motor output is rated at 2.2 kW, matching small to medium-frame induction motors. Supply compatibility spans 200–240 VAC, so the unit can connect to low-voltage distribution networks without transformers. Overall conversion efficiency reaches 0.96, meaning only four percent of the incoming energy is lost as heat during normal operation. Dynamic control bandwidth is supported by a carrier frequency that can be raised to 32 kHz, which helps reduce audible noise and refine current regulation when sensitive loads are present.

In addition to its power output, the drive has a continuous apparent power rating of 4.22 kVA, indicating the total volt-amp demand placed on upstream breakers and cables. The motor-oriented rating of 3.0 HP can be used when selecting compatible gearboxes or couplings. Internally, the switching and control electronics dissipate 116 W, which helps determine the enclosure cooling requirements. For feeder sizing, the drive tolerates a line-to-line voltage imbalance of up to 3.0% without triggering a protective trip. This tolerance is useful when the supply network includes long branch circuits or mixed electrical loads that can cause minor differences between phase voltages.
