Product Description:

Danfoss manufactured the FC-051P1K5S2E20HXBXCXXXSXXX, a member of the VLT FC 51 Micro Drives series. The unit is a variable-frequency drive used to regulate the speed of small AC motors, enabling energy-efficient control of pumps, blowers, and material-handling equipment in industrial automation. By adjusting output frequency and voltage, it helps motors match process demand instead of running at full speed continuously. It is intended for light industrial control panels where compact inverters are preferred and installation space is limited.

The drive supplies a continuous mechanical output of 1.5 kW, which corresponds to 2.0 HP when the connected motor is specified in imperial units. This output level suits small conveyors, fans, and pump duties that require steady motor control. It accepts an input range of 200–240 VAC and is wired for single-phase operation, so it can be installed in locations without three-phase service. The drive has an IP20 chassis enclosure that gives basic finger protection and permits mounting inside a ventilated control cabinet. During rapid deceleration, the built-in brake chopper routes excess DC-bus energy to an external resistor and helps avoid overvoltage trips on high-inertia loads.

Control wiring passes through standard cable entries, eliminating the need for special gland plates and simplifying cable routing in compact panels. The power section uses a coated PCB to help prevent conductive dust or moisture films from causing leakage paths where airflow is limited. This protective finish supports operation in enclosed panels that may experience contamination or light condensation during normal service. Parameter handling is performed through remote fieldbus tools or an optional LCP because this model is supplied without a local control panel or input disconnect components. It is shipped with the latest standard software release.
