Product Description:

The FC-280P15KT4E20H1BXCXXXSXXXXAX is a variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT FC 280 Midi Drives series. Supplied as a chassis unit, it is intended to regulate the speed of three-phase induction motors in conveyors, mixers, and similar automated machinery. By varying output frequency from a fixed line supply, the drive helps a control system match motor torque to process demand while reducing mechanical stress in mid-power industrial installations.

Rated output power is 15 kW, and the mechanical equivalent is 20 HP, so the unit supports mid-range motors without oversizing. Its input section accepts a three-phase 380-480 VAC supply, allowing direct connection to common industrial power systems. A built-in brake chopper dissipates regenerated energy during rapid deceleration to help prevent overvoltage trips. Both Adaptation A and Adaptation B are set to no adaptation, so the drive is delivered in its standard form. No line-side options are configured, and the front panel has no display, so parameter access is handled through external tools. The configuration uses the standard language pack for menu navigation.

The housing carries a protection rating of IP20 / Chassis, which suits installation inside ventilated control cabinets and provides finger-safe access to terminals. For electromagnetic compatibility, the integrated filter is classified as EMC Cat C1(200V)/C2(400V), which helps limit conducted emissions on both 200 V and 400 V systems. Circuit boards use a coated PCB finish that resists moisture and airborne contaminants often present in production areas. Communication and parameter exchange are handled by the standard control card with Modbus, allowing direct RS-485 wiring to a supervisory PLC. This build is identified as the latest release, indicating the current revision level for this model.
