Product Description:

The FC-302P1K1T5 is an AC variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT FC 302 Automation Drives series. It converts fixed-frequency three-phase mains power into a regulated output that allows industrial controllers to adjust induction motor speed, torque, and process throughput. Designed for conveyors, pumps, and general machine automation, the unit supports fieldbus communication and PID control. These capabilities allow it to operate as a decentralized speed regulator inside a cabinet or directly on a machine frame.

This model accepts a three-phase line supply of 380–500 VAC and delivers a continuous output current of 2.7 A to motors rated at 1.1 kW (1.5 HP). Drive efficiency reaches 0.96 under nominal load, limiting wasted energy to a thermal loss of 58 W that must be removed through panel ventilation. The short-term overload capacity is 160% of the rated current for one minute in ten, allowing acceleration of high-inertia loads without derating. The analog output stage features 12-bit resolution for precise feedback to supervisory PLCs, while the digital output channel can supply up to 40 mA to relays or optoisolators. An overvoltage alarm activates when the DC link reaches 855 V, protecting the power stage during regenerative events.

The control platform reaches a maximum output frequency of 590 Hz, while the magnetic flux estimator remains effective up to 300 Hz so vector regulation stays stable at elevated speeds. Operation is permitted at altitudes up to 1000 m without current reduction, and full current remains available at ambient temperatures up to 45 °C. Motor cable runs can extend to 150 m with shielding or 300 m without shielding, providing flexibility for equipment spread across large installations. The drive complies with the IE2 energy-efficiency class and supports discrete signaling for external control devices. Its fieldbus connectivity permits communication with higher-level automation systems without depending solely on hardwired commands.
