Product Description:

The FC-301P7K5T4131B1015 is an AC variable frequency drive built by Danfoss for the VLT FC 301 Automation Drives series. Within an automated production line, the drive regulates motor speed by changing the output frequency supplied to standard induction motors. This regulation supports energy-efficient operation of pumps, conveyors, fans, and other equipment that requires adjustable speed. The drive also provides control and communication functions for integration with higher-level automation systems.

The drive’s motor output is rated at 7.5 kW, which corresponds to 10 HP, when it is connected to a three-phase supply of 380–480 VAC. Its electrical conversion efficiency is 0.97, which reduces waste heat and cabinet ventilation requirements during normal operation. The inverter provides output frequencies up to 590 Hz and maintains flux control at frequencies up to 300 Hz. This broad operating range accommodates high-speed spindles and applications that require controlled torque at low speeds. A 12-bit analog output sends proportional feedback to external indicators or control equipment. Two digital outputs, each rated for 40 mA, transmit operating status signals to compatible PLC inputs.

For intermittent loads, an overload capacity of 160% for 1 minute every 10 minutes permits short increases in demand without requiring a larger drive. Typical conversion losses are 255 W, allowing cabinet cooling and airflow to be planned around the expected heat load. Pulse-train signaling operates at frequencies up to 32 kHz for connection to compatible position counters. The integrated output filter supports shielded motor cables up to 50 m long, while unshielded motor cables may extend to 75 m. Control terminals accept conductors ranging from 0.25 mm² to 1.5 mm², accommodating common control-panel wiring sizes. These terminal and signaling capabilities support connection to external controls, indicators, and motor equipment without requiring unusual conductor sizes.
