Product Description

Danfoss created the VLT AutomationDrive FC 302, designed explicitly as a variable frequency drive (VFD) for industrial automation. Its impressive 160% beginning torque, maintained for 60 seconds, is one of its distinguishing characteristics. This strong starting torque is essential for applications with large loads or high inertia, where the motor requires a substantial beginning push to overcome static friction and accelerate to the target speed. Sophisticated power electronics enable the VFD to provide a high current to the motor at starting, briefly surpassing the rated current. Reliable starting is ensured even for the most demanding applications, such as heavy machines, cranes, and conveyor belts, by maintaining this high torque for 60 seconds. The operating flexibility of the FC 302 is further improved by its broad supply voltage range. It has a tolerance of ±10% and can run on either 380–500V or 525–690V. Because of its wide range, the drive may be adjusted to different power supply circumstances often encountered in industrial settings.

The tolerance of ±10% is essential since it enables the drive to operate dependably even in the face of voltage variations, which are often inevitable in industrial settings. This avoids unplanned shutdowns brought on by voltage instability and guarantees steady functioning. The FC 302 has a remarkable 0-1000 Hz output frequency range. This broad range offers noteworthy control over the linked motor's speed, enabling accurate modifications to satisfy the demands of the particular application. The VFD can precisely regulate the motor's rotational speed by altering the AC electricity's frequency. This is crucial for devices that need variable speed control, such as extruders, fans, and pumps, where accurate speed control is necessary to maximize process effectiveness and product quality.

The FC 302 is built for durability, dependability in demanding industrial settings, and performance capabilities. It provides the IP 20, IP 55, and IP 66 protection classifications. The drive's degree of defense against water and dust intrusion is indicated by these Ingress Protection (IP) ratings. IP 20 is appropriate for standard interior installations as it protects solid objects. The drive may be utilized in settings with moderate exposure to dust and water since IP 55 protects against dust and water jets. The drive is appropriate for even the most demanding industrial settings, such as outdoor installations or washdown needs, thanks to its highest grade of IP 66, which denotes total protection against dust and strong water jets. The FC 302 may be used in various applications without sacrificing lifespan or dependability because of its adjustable protection levels.
