Product Description:
The FC-280P3K0T4E20H1BXCXXXSXXXXAX is an AC variable-frequency drive produced by Danfoss in the VLT FC 280 Midi Drives series. As a mid-range inverter, it converts fixed mains power into a modulated output that lets controllers adjust induction motor speed for conveyors, pumps, and other automated machinery. The product streamlines cabinet layout in small and medium installations by combining motor control, basic fieldbus connectivity, and integrated braking hardware in a compact IP20 chassis. This arrangement supports steady speed regulation and routine status monitoring from a central control platform.
This model accepts a three-phase 380–480 VAC supply, so it connects directly to common industrial mains without transformers. Its continuous output capability is rated at 3.0 kW, equivalent to 4.0 HP, giving it sufficient margin for fractional and small integral-horsepower motors. An enclosure rating of IP20 chassis indicates touch-safe internal parts while relying on the surrounding cabinet for dust and water protection. To limit conducted emissions, the built-in filter meets EMC Category C1 (200 V) / C2 (400 V); this helps plants comply with CISPR 11 Class A limits on typical 400 V lines. This input range matches many factory distribution systems and avoids the need for a separate step-up stage in standard panels.
Stopping energy is handled by a brake chopper that directs regenerated power into an external resistor, preventing DC-bus overvoltage during rapid deceleration. The control board uses a coated PCB, adding a moisture and dust barrier for longer service life in unsealed panels. Command and feedback are processed through a standard interface with Modbus, allowing straightforward integration with PLCs that transmit start, speed, and diagnostic words over an RS-485 link. Local parameter access is minimized because the drive is supplied with no display; configuration is instead performed through a remote keypad or PC tool, reducing panel cutouts and keeping the cabinet front less exposed during normal use.
