Product Description:

The FC-280P2K2T4E20H variable frequency drive is produced by Danfoss and belongs to the VLT FC 280 Midi Drives series. The device converts fixed three-phase 380–480 V AC mains power into a controlled output that lets control systems regulate standard induction motors in conveyors, pumps, and ventilators. Designed for installation inside electrical panels, it provides torque and speed control that aligns motor power with the moment-to-moment requirements of automated machinery.

The drive’s continuous output capability at 380–440 V is 5.3 A, representing the sustainable current that the inverter can deliver without derating. For short overload events, it supplies up to 8.5 A for 60 seconds, allowing acceleration of inertial loads. Its mechanical output is rated at 3.0 HP, which corresponds to an electrical power rating of 2.2 kW. Energy converted through the IGBT bridge is handled with an efficiency of 97.5%, limiting wasted heat and reducing enclosure cooling requirements. An 11-bit analog input and a 1 ms scan interval support proportional control and fast feedback handling. Total power loss remains 74 W under nominal operating conditions.

The chassis carries IP20 chassis protection, so it can be mounted in switchgear cabinets without additional gaskets. A depth of 171 mm and a width of 75 mm, together with the K1 enclosure size, allow the unit to fit compact motor control center sections. The housing weighs 2.5 kg, which simplifies handling during panel installation. Terminals accept motor and mains conductors up to 4 mm², or 12 AWG, providing compatibility with commonly used industrial wiring. The compact enclosure leaves more room for adjacent controls while maintaining access to the power and signal terminals. Its panel-mounted design also keeps the power electronics protected within the surrounding electrical cabinet.
