Product Description

An advanced industrial device designed for precise motor control, the VLT AutomationDrive FC 301 131B5236, is manufactured by Danfoss. Its small size (80 x 398 x 200 mm) and low weight (6 kg) make it simple to integrate into various industrial installations, reducing the amount of space needed and making installation easier. This is especially important in contemporary automation systems, where space minimization is often a critical factor. The drive is compatible with various power supplies and motor types frequently used in industrial settings since it runs at a typical industrial frequency of 50/60 Hz. This drive's Class A EMC rating is one of its primary characteristics. Electromagnetic compatibility, or EMC, is essential in industrial settings where many electrical equipment are used near one another. The rated leakage current of the VLT AutomationDrive FC 301 is 35 mA.

In electrical systems, leakage current is a natural occurrence when a small quantity of current travels via unexpected channels, often as a result of capacitive coupling or flaws in the insulation. Although some leakage current is inevitable, going above the rated amount may be dangerous and cause equipment malfunctioning—the drive's 35 mA rating safeguards nearby equipment and people by operating within safe bounds. The drive shows a 25-watt power loss during operation. Resistive heating and switching losses in electronic components are the leading causes of power loss in electrical devices. Energy efficiency and avoiding excessive heat accumulation, which may shorten the drive's lifetime and dependability, depend on minimizing power loss. The VLT AutomationDrive FC 301's low power loss of 25 watts suggests that it is built for effective operation, which lowers running expenses and energy usage. The drive has a maximum working temperature of 45°C. The thermal properties of the materials used to build the drive and the effectiveness of its cooling system dictate this parameter.

Operating over this temperature threshold may result in faster component deterioration, shortened component life, and even failure. Applications in excessively hot temperatures may need extra cooling techniques to maintain dependable performance, even if 45°C is appropriate for many industrial contexts. Conductors having a 25 mm² cross-section are used in the drive. Its cross-sectional area directly impacts a conductor's resistance and ability to transport current. A more significant cross-section makes higher current flow with fewer resistive losses possible, which promotes effective power transfer and lowers heat production. Performance and dependability are maintained even under rigorous working circumstances thanks to the 25 mm² cross-section, which guarantees that the conductors can withstand the drive's rated current (80 A) without experiencing excessive heating or voltage loss.
