Product Description:

The FC-280P1K1S2H1XNCXXXSXXXXAN variable frequency drive is produced by Danfoss for the VLT FC 280 Midi Drives series. This stand-alone inverter converts fixed-frequency mains power into a pulse-width-modulated output for controlling small three-phase induction motors. It allows a connected motor to accelerate, decelerate, or maintain a constant speed in response to commands from a PLC or another control device. Typical applications include conveyors, compact pumps, and ventilation fans that require adjustable speed, straightforward wiring, and efficient operation in industrial automation systems.

The drive operates from a single-phase 200–240 VAC supply, making it suitable for locations where a three-phase input supply is unavailable. Its power section provides a continuous output of 1.1 kW, which corresponds to 1.5 HP. This output rating indicates the continuous motor load that the drive can support under the applicable operating conditions. The unit has no brake chopper, so it cannot route regenerated energy to a braking resistor through an internal switching circuit. Deceleration settings must therefore account for the energy returned by the motor and the ability of the connected system to absorb it. The enclosure has no display, so parameter entry and status monitoring require a remote LCP keypad or a compatible PC tool. The PC tool connects through the service port and provides access to operating parameters, protective functions, and diagnostic information.

The drive uses uncoated printed circuit boards, so the electronics do not have an added conformal coating for protection from moisture, conductive dust, or airborne contaminants. Installation in a clean, dry, convection-cooled cabinet can reduce exposure to conditions that may affect the internal components. The control system manages acceleration and deceleration ramps, output-frequency limits, motor commands, and protective trips. These adjustable settings allow the drive to match the operating behavior of the connected conveyor, pump, fan, or other compatible machine. Common terminal arrangements and control macros within the product line support consistent wiring and parameter organization across related applications.
