Product Description:

The FC-302P18KT6131G6090HXBGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX is an AC variable frequency drive produced by Danfoss within the VLT FC 302 Automation Drives series. It converts fixed-frequency mains power into a controlled output, allowing induction motors on conveyors, pumps, and fans to operate at speeds that match real-time process demand. Adjusting motor speed to the required load can reduce energy use and mechanical stress in automated machinery. Installed inside an automation panel, the unit serves as the final power stage between the control system and the motor terminals. This arrangement allows the drive to regulate motor speed accurately as operating conditions and commanded setpoints change.

The inverter supplies up to 18.5 kW of continuous electrical power, representing the maximum load it can provide without derating. This capacity corresponds to a motor output of 25 HP. The drive accepts three-phase power, allowing direct connection to common industrial utility feeds. Its supported input range of 380–480 V accommodates the mains voltages used by many industrial facilities. Appropriate upstream protection and conductor sizing are required for the connected load and available fault current. The controlled output allows the motor to accelerate, decelerate, and maintain speed without direct operation at the fixed mains frequency.

The configuration includes the lack of a C1 option, so additional external filtering may be necessary when category C1 electromagnetic compatibility is required. Power and control conductors pass through standard cable entries that match gland plates used on common enclosure systems. This entry arrangement supports organized routing between the drive terminals, control wiring, and motor connections. The operator interface uses a standard language pack, providing access to the available menus and parameter descriptions. Compatible fieldbus cards can connect the drive to higher-level automation networks, while suitable brake choppers can manage regenerated energy from rapid deceleration. Cooling accessories may also be selected according to the enclosure layout, ambient temperature, and expected operating load.
