Product Description:

The FC-301P5K5T4E20H2 is an automation drive produced by Danfoss for the VLT FC 301 Automation Drives series. Within the VLT AutomationDrive FC product group, it regulates induction-motor speed so conveyors, pumps, and other plant equipment can follow process demand while reducing energy use. Installed inside a control cabinet, the unit converts fixed-frequency mains power into a variable output that supports accurate flow, tension, or positioning commands in industrial machinery. This lets connected motors start and ramp more smoothly while helping the process respond more consistently to load changes.

The inverter delivers 7.5 HP of mechanical output, which corresponds to an electrical capacity of 5.5 kW. It accepts a supply of 380 – 480 VAC from a three-phase power network, allowing one model to cover both 400 V and 460 V utilities. Operator safety is addressed by the IP20 / Chassis protection level, which blocks finger contact with energized conductors but still requires placement in a closed panel. Thermal design and bus components remain stable across the stated voltage window, enabling full-power operation without derating inside standard equipment enclosures. Because it is a chassis-style unit, cabinet airflow and internal spacing remain important for reliable operation.

For mechanical integration, the drive supports normal cabinet mounting in A, B, and C frames, so drilling patterns and airflow paths align with common panel layouts. Electromagnetic compliance must be managed externally because there is no extra EMC filter; a separate line filter can be added when lower emissions are required. Documentation and parameter records reference the series code 301, which helps keep configuration data consistent across multi-drive installations. The drive interface also supports routine setup and fault review without requiring unnecessary changes to the surrounding panel layout.
