Product Description:

The FC-280P2K2T4E20H2BXCXXXSXXXXA0 is an AC variable frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss within the VLT FC 280 Midi Drives series. It converts fixed-frequency mains power into a regulated output that allows accurate speed control of asynchronous motors in conveyors, pumps, packaging lines, and other automated equipment. This operating method helps the connected motor match process demand more closely than direct-on-line operation, which can reduce unnecessary energy use and limit mechanical stress during routine production. The compact format also suits control panels where available mounting space is limited but stable motor control is still required.

Input power is accepted from a three-phase 380-480 VAC network, which fits common industrial supply systems without requiring a separate transformer in typical installations. The inverter delivers a continuous output of 2.2 kW, equivalent to 3.0 HP, giving it a practical power level for small material-handling axes, fans, and similar machinery. A built-in IP20 / chassis enclosure allows installation inside a ventilated cabinet while providing basic protection against accidental contact with internal live parts. Dynamic deceleration is supported by an integrated brake chopper, so an external braking resistor can be connected when faster stopping is needed. This arrangement helps control DC-bus voltage during heavy deceleration and supports applications with frequent speed changes.

Control integration is handled through an integrated Profibus DP card, allowing cyclic speed references and status data to pass between the drive and a PLC without an added gateway module. Radio-frequency emissions are limited by the EMC Cat C3 (200/400 V) filter, which supports use on industrial power systems where electromagnetic compatibility remains important. Long-term durability is improved by a coated PCB that resists moisture and conductive dust inside the cabinet. The unit does not include a built-in display, so parameter access and setup are handled through external tools instead of a front keypad. That arrangement keeps the front of the drive simple while still allowing operating values and settings to be managed from the connected interface.
