Product Description:

The FC-280P5K5T4H2BNCXXXSXXXXAX is an AC variable-frequency drive produced by Danfoss within the VLT FC 280 Midi Drives series. It converts incoming AC power into a controlled output for regulating the speed and torque of compatible induction motors. This capability supports adjustable operation in automated conveyors, pumps, fans, and other general industrial machinery. Electronic speed regulation also allows process output to change without relying on mechanical throttling devices or frequent gearbox adjustments.

The drive is designed for a three-phase 380–480 VAC supply, allowing direct connection to common industrial power systems within that voltage range. Its output power is rated at 5.5 kW, with a corresponding motor rating of 7.5 HP. These ratings allow the inverter to operate appropriately sized motors under continuous service conditions when installation and load requirements are satisfied. The drive has no brake chopper, so applications requiring rapid deceleration must use a suitable external braking unit or regenerative solution. Its circuit boards are not conformally coated, making installation in a clean, dry electrical enclosure important. The enclosure should limit exposure to condensation, corrosive vapor, conductive dust, and other contaminants that could affect uncoated electronic components.

The front panel has no display, so operating commands and parameter access are handled through the available control connections or a compatible remote interface. This arrangement supports installations in which routine operation is managed by a PLC, distributed control system, or other external controller. The two adaptation fields indicate no application adaptations, meaning the drive does not include optional application cards for specialized control functions. Standard I/O and fieldbus terminals therefore carry the required command, status, and communication signals. Parameter files may be transferred through supported external tools when settings must be loaded or retained without a local screen. The compact format helps conserve panel space while leaving the power and control terminals accessible for orderly cable routing.
