FCD Series
Introduction to FCD
300
■
The decentral concept
The FCD 300 Adjustable speed drive is designed
for decentral mounting, e.g. in the food and
beverage industry, in the automotive industry, or
for other material handling applications.
With the FCD 300 it is possible to utilize the cost saving
potential by placing the power electronics decentrally,
and thus make the central panels obsolete saving
cost, space and effort for installation and wiring.
The unit is flexible in its mounting options for as
well stand alone mounting and motor mounting. It
is also possible to have the unit pre-mounted on
a Danfoss Bauer geared motor (3 in one solution).
The basic design with a plugable electronic part and
a flexible and "spacious" wiring box is extremely
servicefriendly and easy to change electronics
without the need for unwiring.
The FCD 300 is a part of the VLT frequency converter
family, which means similar funcionality, programming,
and operating as the other family members.
