Product Description
Danfoss created the FC-280P15KT4E20H1BXCXXXSXXXXAX drive with a 15 kW or 20 horsepower power rating. This indicates that the drive can provide a significant amount of power to an electric motor, making it appropriate for powering various industrial machinery. The power rating is crucial in determining the drive's capacity to manage the application's load needs. Designed for industrial settings where 380-480 VAC voltages are standard, the FC-280P15KT4E20H1BXCXXXSXXXXAX operates on a three-phase voltage range. Its compatibility with this voltage range ensures the drive's smooth integration into standard industrial power systems. The voltage rating is essential for the drive to operate safely and effectively within the designated electrical infrastructure.
One noteworthy aspect of this drive is the presence of a brake chopper. An electrical circuit that gives an electric motor controlled braking is called a brake chopper. It prevents voltage spikes and drive damage by dissipating the regenerated energy produced during deceleration. This function improves the drive's efficiency and safety, especially in situations that require quick deceleration or repeated starts and stops. The FC-280P15KT4E20H1BXCXXXSXXXAX has a coated printed circuit board (PCB). This coating offers an extra defense against environmental elements, including dust, moisture, and chemicals—all frequent in industrial environments—. By protecting the drive's delicate electrical components from possible harm, the coated PCB increases the drive's lifespan.
Despite lacking an integrated display, the drive has a Modbus connection as a standard feature. The drive may be easily integrated into various control systems thanks to industrial automation's widely used Modbus communication protocol. Thanks to this connection, the drive's settings may be remotely monitored and controlled, which makes troubleshooting and operating more effective. Although some customers may need additional monitoring solutions due to the lack of an integrated display, the drive's Modbus connection allows flexibility in incorporating it into various control schemes.
