Product Description:
The FC-280P15KT4E21H2BNCXXXSXXXXAX is an AC variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT FC 280 Midi Drives series. By rectifying incoming mains power and generating a controlled pulse-width modulation output, the drive regulates the speed of squirrel-cage motors used with pumps, compressors, and conveying equipment in industrial automation. Its integrated chassis fits compact control panels and supports decentralized placement in OEM machinery where real-time torque adjustment is required to accommodate varying load profiles. The drive can regulate motor acceleration and deceleration while maintaining the commanded operating speed under changing process conditions.
This model delivers a continuous motor output of 15 kW, which corresponds to a shaft capability of 20 HP. The input section accepts a three-phase 380–480 VAC supply, allowing direct connection to common industrial power systems without a step-down transformer. For conducted noise reduction, the built-in RFI network is rated for EMC Category C3 (200/400 V), providing electromagnetic interference control for suitable commercial and light-industrial installations. Dynamic braking energy from decelerating loads is routed through an internal brake chopper, which allows an external resistor to dissipate excess DC-link energy. This arrangement helps protect the power electronics during rapid stops or downward hoisting operations. The controlled output also allows the connected motor to operate across a variable speed range instead of running continuously at the fixed mains frequency.
The electronics include a coated printed circuit board that protects conductive traces against humidity and airborne contaminants found in processing plants. This protective coating reduces direct exposure of sensitive components to moisture and particulate matter inside the enclosure. Command and feedback traffic is handled by a standard control card with Modbus, enabling serial communication with compatible PLCs and SCADA systems. Modbus connectivity allows operating commands, status information, and diagnostic data to travel over a shared communication link. The control card also supports centralized monitoring of drive behavior without requiring a separate proprietary communication interface. These communication functions complement the drive’s local motor-control capabilities in automated equipment with coordinated process supervision.
