Product Description:

The FC-280P18KT4H2BNCXXXSXXXXAN is an AC variable frequency drive produced by Danfoss for controlling the speed of induction motors in automated plant equipment. It converts fixed-frequency mains power into a variable-frequency three-phase output, allowing connected conveyors, pumps, and fans to operate at speeds suited to changing load demands. Adjusting motor speed can reduce unnecessary energy use when the application does not require full output. The compact housing supports installation in cabinets with limited panel depth, provided that the enclosure has adequate airflow and the required electrical clearances.

The drive has a rated motor power of 18.5 kW, which indicates the continuous motor load it can support under the applicable operating conditions. Its input accepts a three-phase 380–480 VAC supply, allowing connection to common industrial power systems within that voltage range. The product belongs to the Midi Drive FC group and carries the internal series identifier 280. Its power stage regulates output voltage and frequency to control motor acceleration, operating speed, and deceleration. Appropriate upstream protection, grounding, and motor cabling are required to maintain stable operation within an industrial control cabinet.

The power stage has no brake chopper, so regenerative energy from rapid deceleration cannot be directed to a braking resistor through an integrated chopper circuit. Applications that generate substantial regenerative energy must use a suitable external arrangement or adjust deceleration behavior to prevent excessive DC-bus voltage. The control board has a standard varnish without a coated PCB, so the drive should be installed in a clean, dry enclosure that limits exposure to moisture, conductive dust, and chemical vapors. The unit includes no display, which means local parameter entry and status viewing are unavailable directly from the drive. Configuration and monitoring can instead be performed with a compatible remote keypad, PC-based tool, or supported fieldbus connection. The base configuration omits optional adaptation features, leaving the standard control and interface arrangement unchanged.
