Product Description

The FC-101P5K5T4E20H4 manufactured by Danfoss is a variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications. This device exhibits a compelling interplay of electrical and thermal properties optimized for efficiency and reliability. One of its key features is the built-in DC choke and EMC filter. These components are crucial in mitigating harmonics and unwanted high-frequency electrical system currents. Harmonics can cause various issues, including increased energy consumption, equipment overheating, and components' premature failure. By minimizing harmonics, the FC-101P5K5T4E20H4 ensures smoother operation, reduces energy losses, and improves the overall efficiency of the HVAC system. This VFD operates on a 380-480V three-phase system, a standard industrial voltage that provides the necessary power for driving large HVAC motors.

With a 5.5 kW power rating, it can effectively control motors with a similar power output, making it suitable for various HVAC applications. The drive's ability to handle a 12 A current underscores its capacity to manage the electrical load required by these motors. Furthermore, the FC-101P5K5T4E20H4 incorporates a unique cooling concept that prevents airflow over the electronic components. This design is crucial for maintaining the drive's operational integrity, as it minimizes dust accumulation and other contaminants that could damage the sensitive electronics. Danfoss has enhanced the drive's reliability and longevity by isolating the electronics from the airflow. The physical dimensions of the FC-101P5K5T4E20H4 are also noteworthy. With a height of 255 mm, a width of 100 mm, and a depth of 206 mm, it maintains a compact footprint, allowing easy integration into various installation scenarios, especially those with space constraints.

The IP20 rating signifies that the drive is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm, such as fingers or tools, but it is not designed for use in harsh environments with excessive dust or moisture. This rating is typical for indoor installations where the driver is not exposed to extreme conditions. Beyond its essential electrical and physical characteristics, the FC-101P5K5T4E20H4 boasts features that contribute to its overall efficiency and versatility. For instance, the Automatic Energy Optimization (AEO) function can lead to energy savings of 15-25%. This function dynamically adjusts the drive's operating parameters to match the load requirements, minimizing energy waste. Additionally, the drive includes a Smart Logic Controller, which can eliminate the need for a separate Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) in many applications. This integration simplifies the control system and reduces the overall complexity of the installation.
