Product Description:

The FC-301P37KT4131B6096 is an AC variable-frequency drive produced by Danfoss for the VLT FC 301 Automation Drives series. Within an automation cell, the drive modulates the voltage and frequency sent to an induction motor so that speed, torque, and energy use can be matched to real-time process demands. The common FC 301 platform provides a standardized footprint for conveyor, pump, and fan duty cycles, allowing the unit to support a range of industrial motion and process-control applications.

The inverter delivers a continuous mechanical output of 37 kW, which corresponds to 50 HP when expressed in imperial units. It accepts an incoming mains supply ranging from 380–480 VAC through a three-phase power input, and the internal power stage produces a motor frequency range of 0–590 Hz for extended speed control, including operation above synchronous speed. Two analog inputs, one analog output, four digital inputs, two digital transistor outputs, and one relay output allow the drive to exchange process variables with a PLC without additional I/O modules. A built-in Class A2 RFI filter limits conducted emissions on the supply lines. The drive does not include a brake chopper, so dynamic braking energy must be managed externally or through regenerative operation.

The housing has an IP55 / NEMA Type 12 enclosure rating, protecting the electronics against nonconductive dust and low-pressure water jets. The drive uses frame size C1 and measures 680 mm high, 308 mm wide, and 310 mm deep, making it suitable for cabinets that can accommodate its vertical form. Its mass is 45 kg, and appropriate lifting support may be needed during panel installation. The housing includes one screened cable gland plate for routing control wiring while helping shield signal conductors from electrical interference.
