Product Description:
Danfoss manufactured the FC-301P2K2T4134L2644. In industrial automation systems, the Danfoss FC-301P2K2T4134L2644 drive is designed to manage power. 40A continuous current is a must-have. This is the sustained amperage the drive can take without overheating. According to Jules 1st law (P=I 2 R), where P is power wasted as heat, I is current, and R is resistance, current produces heat through resistive losses. By keeping the current at 40A, the drive is within its thermal design parameters and avoids component failure and degradation. Also, the drive has a 73A max current. The drive can handle temporary overloads or high starting torques required by some motors with this higher value. Short-term current spikes, known as transient overloads, can damage the drive or trigger protection circuits if left unchecked. For applications that require high starting power, such as starting heavy equipment, the peak current is critical.
The electrical voltage the drive can handle is defined by its operating voltage range, which is 24V DC to 48V DC. The motor torque and speed are affected by the voltage. The drive runs smoothly throughout this range and ensures motor control. The drive has an incremental encoder with Hall sensors. For closed-loop control systems, the encoder is critical as it provides positioning feedback. The motor rotor position is determined by the Hall sensors, which can sense magnetic fields. The drive can optimize performance and precision by adjusting motor speed and torque in real-time with this feedback loop. Natural convection is the cooling method. This method depends on the buoyancy of heated air. Heat is removed by a natural airflow created as the heat produced by the drive components heats up, becomes less dense and rises in the surrounding air. By eliminating the need for fans or liquid cooling this method reduces noise and maintenance.
The 3.5kg motor weight affects the installation and structural stability of the drive. The drive is protected against solid objects bigger than 12.5mm according to the IP20 protection standard. But not against liquids. Installations in a dry and clean environment are suitable for this grade. For high-speed applications, the maximum mechanical speed of 7500 rpm is the highest speed the drive can take. To integrate the drive to automation networks, communication interfaces like RS232 and RS485 are required. RS485 has multi-drop networks where many devices can talk to each other over a single bus, while RS232 only allows point-to-point communication. This connection allows the drive to be more versatile and integrated by allowing remote monitoring, control and data sharing. The drive is designed to provide motor control, reliability and efficiency suitable for various automated applications.
