Product Description:

The FC-280P2K2T4H2BNCXXXSXXXXAN is a compact AC variable-frequency drive manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT FC 280 Midi Drives series. The device converts a constant industrial supply into a regulated output that allows PLCs to match motor speed to process demand in material-handling and HVAC applications. When integrated into a control cabinet, the drive reduces the need for mechanical throttling and supports energy-saving control of asynchronous motors across typical factory tasks. Its compact format also helps conserve panel space in installations that require several motor-control devices.

The power stage accepts a three-phase 380–480 VAC supply, enabling direct connection to common plant mains operating at 50 or 60 Hz. Its continuous output is rated at 2.2 kW, which corresponds to a shaft capability of 3.0 HP when driving a standard four-pole motor. Braking energy must be managed externally because the configuration has no integrated brake chopper. Applications that require regenerative stopping must use suitable external braking equipment. These electrical limits help determine cable sizing, protective device selection, and the ventilation needed around the inverter inside its enclosure.

The absence of a coated PCB means the unit should be mounted in a clean, dry panel to limit exposure to conductive dust, moisture, and airborne contaminants. The enclosure should provide appropriate protection when the drive operates near processes that generate dust or condensation. A keypad aperture is present, but the lack of an included display requires operation through a compatible remote interface or detachable local operator panel. Communication and control connections remain accessible for integration with the surrounding automation system. The drive belongs to the Midi Drive FC product group, which uses the mounting arrangement associated with FC 280 enclosures.
