Product Description
Danfoss created the FC-302P2K2T5E20H1XGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX, which is a sophisticated piece of industrial automation equipment designed for variable speed control of asynchronous and permanent magnet motors. At its core, this device leverages the principles of power electronics and electromagnetic induction to regulate motor operation precisely. With a power output of 2.2 KW or 3.0 HP, this drive can efficiently handle a significant workload, making it suitable for various applications. This power rating is derived from the device's ability to convert and deliver electrical energy to the motor, influencing the motor's torque and speed capabilities. The drive operates within a voltage range of 380 - 500 VAC, a common industrial standard that ensures compatibility with various power supplies. It is engineered with an IP20 chassis. This Ingress Protection rating signifies that the drive's enclosure offers protection against solid objects larger than 12mm, such as fingers or tools, preventing accidental contact with internal components and potential electrical hazards.
The IP20 rating also indicates that the drive is unprotected against liquids. This means it should be installed in environments without exposure to water or other fluids to ensure safe and reliable operation. To mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI), the drive incorporates a Class A1/B (C1) RFI filter. This filter plays a crucial role in suppressing electromagnetic noise generated by the drive, preventing it from affecting other sensitive equipment in the vicinity. By reducing EMI, the RFI filter contributes to the overall stability and performance of the automation system. The drive features a graphical local control panel, providing a user-friendly interface for operators to monitor and adjust drive parameters. This interface facilitates ease of operation and efficient control of the connected motor.
A notable aspect of the FC-302P2K2T5E20H1XGXXXXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX is the absence of a brake chopper. In some applications, a brake chopper dissipates the regenerative energy generated during motor deceleration. Without a brake chopper, the drive might rely on other braking mechanisms or techniques to manage regenerative energy, which could be a consideration for applications requiring precise dynamic control or energy recovery. The drive's compact design, signified by its A2 frame size, allows space-saving installation within industrial control cabinets. This compact form factor is achieved through optimized component layout and efficient thermal management, ensuring the drive can deliver its rated power without excessive heat buildup. The drive's PCB is not coated, which might influence its suitability for environments with high humidity or potential exposure to airborne contaminants. Additional protective measures might be necessary in such environments to ensure the drive's long-term reliability.
