Product Description:

The FC-302P18KT2131B6018H2BGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX belongs to the VLT FC 302 Automation Drives series produced by Danfoss. It is an AC variable-frequency drive intended to regulate induction motor speed in automated machinery, allowing controllers to match motor output to real-time process demands instead of relying on mechanical throttling. In plant installations, the drive fits into standard control cabinets and connects directly to fieldbus networks. This arrangement supports conveyor, pump, and material-handling applications that require precise electrical speed control. The cabinet-mounted format also keeps the power electronics close to the motor control and communication connections used by the automation system.

This model delivers a continuous output of 18.5 kW, indicating the electrical power available at the motor terminals under steady operating conditions. The input section accepts a supply range of 200–240 VAC, so it connects directly to compatible low-voltage industrial mains without a step-up transformer. The drive operates with three-phase power, which keeps the current in each conductor moderate and distributes the electrical load across the supply lines. Inside the product code, the series index is 302, indicating that the drive shares control features and mechanical dimensions with other AutomationDrive units in the same series. These common characteristics support consistent cabinet layouts and parameter structures in installations containing multiple compatible drives. Motor speed is controlled electrically, allowing the connected process to respond to changing operating demands without mechanical flow or speed adjustments.

The drive has no C1 filter option, so installations that must meet Category C1 emission limits require an external RFI filter. This requirement should be considered when selecting cabinet space and arranging the mains connections around the drive. The user interface includes the standard language pack, which provides English and other commonly used languages without an additional language module. The unit is part of the VLT AutomationDrive FC product group and uses its common option-card arrangement for input, output, and network expansion. Compatible option cards can extend the drive’s connection capabilities when the standard interfaces do not cover the required control signals or communication network. The shared parameter structure also allows several drives in the same platform to use a consistent control configuration across coordinated machinery.
