FC-101P5K5T4E20H4
by Danfoss
The Danfoss FC-101P5K5T4E20H4 is a member of the VLT FC 101 HVAC Basic Drives series, engineered by Danfoss for precise motor control in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning applications. This variable frequency drive features a built-in Dc Choke And Emc Filter to minimize harmonics and a 380-480V (3-phase) input voltage, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial power systems. With a 5.5 kW power rating, the drive is optimized to regulate motor speed and torque for efficient operation of HVAC equipment, reducing wear and enhancing performance in climate control systems.
In terms of technical specifications, the FC-101P5K5T4E20H4 handles up to 12 A of current and incorporates Automatic Energy Optimization (aeo), which delivers 15–25% energy savings by adjusting voltage and frequency to match load demand. The drive also features a Smart Logic Controller that can eliminate the need for an external PLC in many installations, streamlining system architecture and lowering overall cost. A unique cooling concept isolates the electronics from airflow, preventing dust accumulation and maintaining component integrity. It operates reliably up to 40°C without derating and carries an IP20 rating for protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.
Beyond its core functionality, this HVAC drive offers a compact footprint—255 mm in height, 100 mm in width, and 206 mm in depth—making it suitable for cabinets and panels with space constraints. The IP20 enclosure ensures safe indoor use, while the absence of air flow over electronics enhances durability by reducing contamination risk. The built-in DC choke and EMC filter contribute to electromagnetic compatibility, ensuring compliance with electrical noise standards. By combining robust protection features, integrated logic control, and optimized energy usage, the FC-101P5K5T4E20H4 delivers reliable and cost-effective performance in industrial and commercial HVAC installations.
