Product Description:

The FC-302P18KT5E20H2XXXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX is an AC variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT FC 302 Automation Drives series. The unit converts fixed-frequency mains power into regulated output power that allows controllers to adjust motor speed in fans, pumps, and conveyors. Matching motor speed to mechanical demand can limit energy use and reduce stress on connected equipment during automated operation.

This drive delivers a continuous electrical output of 18.5 kW under nominal operating conditions. When paired with a suitable motor, this rating corresponds to a shaft output of up to 25 HP. It accepts line voltages from 380–500 VAC, allowing direct connection to common industrial supplies without step-up or step-down transformers. The power section uses three-phase power, which balances current across the phases, permits smaller conductors, and reduces harmonic distortion compared with a single-phase arrangement. An IP20 chassis enclosure protects against accidental contact with live parts when the drive is installed correctly inside a protective cabinet. The chassis is not sealed against dust or water spray, so the surrounding cabinet must provide the necessary protection for the installation environment.

An integrated RFI filter attenuates conducted emissions, helping machinery meet electromagnetic compatibility limits without additional filtering equipment. The drive has uncoated control boards, so the cabinet atmosphere should remain free of corrosive gases, conductive dust, and excessive moisture. Physical installation uses a normal cabinet-mount pattern for A, B, and C frames, allowing the chassis to align with compatible frame footprints. The drive has no brake chopper, so it cannot directly control a braking resistor during rapid deceleration. Applications that require frequent or forceful stopping must rely on controlled coast-down, available motor losses, or suitable external braking equipment selected for the machine’s mechanics and operating cycle.
