Product Description:

The FC-280P1K5T4H2BNCXXXSXXXXAN is an AC variable-frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss as part of the VLT FC 280 Midi Drives series. It is intended to modulate the speed of three-phase induction motors in automated machinery, providing electronic control that replaces mechanical throttling in pumps, fans, and conveyors. By varying output frequency and voltage, it lets the connected motor match process demand instead of running at full speed all the time. The front panel includes no local display, so parameter entry and diagnostics are completed through software tools or remote keypads.

This model accepts a three-phase 380–480 VAC supply, allowing direct connection to common industrial mains. Its rated output is 1.5 kW, which corresponds to about 2.0 HP in imperial units. That output level is appropriate for smaller motor-driven functions that need adjustable speed rather than fixed line-frequency operation. Both Adaptation A and Adaptation B are factory set to no adaptation, so no specialized application settings or option boards are installed. For deceleration energy management, the drive is configured with no brake chopper, so applications that require dynamic braking need an external resistor or regenerative module. The standard control and power sections therefore focus on basic inverter operation without added braking hardware on the base unit.

The power section uses standard circuit boards with an uncoated PCB, a detail suited to applications that do not face corrosive atmospheres. Within the product line, the unit is classified under the Midi Drive FC group. Because the housing omits a local display and the electronics remain in a base configuration, the drive is aimed at installations that rely on centralized setup methods. It is intended for general-purpose automation where cabinet space, common mains compatibility, and simple integration are important. The configuration focuses on core speed-control functions rather than onboard adaptations or integrated braking components.
