Product Description:

The FC-301PK55T2134L2962 is a variable frequency drive produced by Danfoss within the VLT FC 301 Automation Drives series. The unit converts fixed three-phase mains power into a modulated output that allows control systems to adjust induction motor speed and torque in conveyors, pumps, and other industrial machinery. Matching motor speed to process demand supports energy savings and precise motion control in automated production lines. The drive can also reduce mechanical stress by providing controlled acceleration and deceleration instead of abrupt across-the-line motor starts.

It accepts 200–240 VAC three-phase power, making it compatible with low-voltage industrial networks. The inverter provides a continuous mechanical output of 0.55 kW. At the motor terminals, normal operation draws up to 3.5 A, while the output frequency can be adjusted within a range of 0.2–590 Hz for wide-range speed control. For short-term loading, the drive supports 160% overload for one minute every ten minutes, allowing elevated torque during acceleration or temporary process peaks. Output voltage varies proportionally from zero to the full supply voltage, helping the motor maintain suitable magnetic flux throughout the programmed speed range.

Internal conduction and switching components dissipate 42 W during rated operation, which should be considered when calculating control cabinet cooling requirements. On the mains side, the displacement power factor is greater than 0.98, while the true power factor is at least 0.9, helping reduce reactive current demand. Start and stop behavior can be adjusted with a 0.01–3600-second ramp time, allowing operation with slow-fill pump duties or rapid indexing cycles without excessive mechanical shock. The supply input permits a voltage variation of plus or minus 10% and a phase imbalance of up to 3%. A short-duration overload current of 5.6 A provides additional capacity when operating conditions temporarily raise motor demand.
