Product Description:

The FC-280P1K5T2H2BNCXXXSXXXXAN is an AC drive from Danfoss in the VLT FC 280 Midi Drives series. It converts incoming three-phase power into a controlled output for variable-speed operation of induction motors in conveyors, pumps, fans, and similar machinery. By adjusting output frequency and voltage, the unit lets a controller match motor speed to changing process demand instead of running the motor at a fixed line frequency. This operating method supports smoother starts, regulated acceleration, and steadier process control in compact automation panels.

The input stage accepts three-phase 200–240 VAC, allowing direct connection to standard 230 V class plant power. Its continuous output is rated at 1.5 kW, which is equivalent to about 2.0 HP for motor sizing. The configuration includes no brake chopper, so the drive fits applications with low regenerated energy or systems that use external braking methods when needed. The electronics use uncoated PCBs, which indicates a standard board finish rather than an added protective coating on the circuit boards.

User interaction is intentionally simple because the front panel has no display, so status is viewed through indicator LEDs or external control connections. The first option slot is set to Adaptation A with no adaptation, and the second is set to Adaptation B with no adaptation, showing that no added application modifications are assigned in those positions. The drive belongs to the Midi Drive FC group, which keeps its housing format and accessory fit consistent with related models in the same platform. This arrangement is useful when several units in one machine require the same physical layout and a similar operator interface.
