Product Overview
The FC-302P5K5T5E20H2XGC (131B0151) is a high-performance VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 series frequency inverter, specifically engineered by Danfoss for advanced industrial motor control applications. Delivering 5.5 kW (7.5 HP) of power, this drive is designed for high-torque tasks such as heavy-duty conveyors, precision positioning systems, and industrial mixers. The FC-302P5K5T5E20H2XGC stands out for its extreme reliability, featuring factory-coated PCBs for protection against harsh environments and an integrated Graphical Local Control Panel (LCP) for intuitive onsite monitoring and programming. Its sophisticated control logic allows for seamless integration into complex automated systems, providing the high-speed response and motor shaft performance required in modern smart factories.
Technical Configuration
The VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 platform is a modular, future-ready solution built for the most demanding technical requirements. This specific configuration operates on a wide three-phase mains voltage of 380 - 500 V and includes an H2 RFI filter for superior electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). A critical feature of this model is the "C" Option (Coated PCB), which provides an extra layer of protection against moisture, dust, and corrosive chemicals, significantly extending the drive's service life in industrial settings. The inclusion of the Graphical LCP (G) allows for full-text parameter access and real-time performance graphing, facilitating rapid troubleshooting and commissioning without the need for an external PC.

Technical FAQs
How does the Coated PCB (C option) benefit my industrial application?
In environments such as wastewater treatment, chemical processing, or textiles, airborne contaminants can cause conductive tracks on circuit boards to short-circuit. The coating on the 131B0151 creates a chemical-resistant barrier, ensuring the drive remains operational where standard drives might fail due to "pollution degree 3" conditions.
Can the Graphical LCP be used to copy parameters to other drives?
Yes. The Graphical LCP (G) features a built-in memory function. You can save a complete parameter set from one 5.5 kW FC-302 and "upload" it to another drive of the same series, significantly reducing commissioning time for multi-drive systems or during maintenance replacements.
Is this drive suitable for high-inertia loads that require fast braking?
This specific model (Code X) does not include a built-in brake chopper. For applications requiring rapid deceleration of heavy loads, you would either need a variant with an integrated brake chopper or implement an external regenerative unit to manage excess energy and prevent DC-link overvoltage trips.
Engineering & Installation Guide
-
EMC Compliance & Shielding: To ensure the H2 RFI filter functions correctly, use a shielded motor cable. The shield must be terminated at both ends—using a 360-degree HF clamp at the drive's metal decoupling plate and a proper gland at the motor terminal box. This minimizes high-frequency noise that could interfere with sensitive control signals.
-
Ambient Thermal Management: The FC 302 relies on its internal fans for cooling. For the IP20 chassis, ensure a minimum of 100 mm clearance above and below the unit for vertical airflow. Monitor the cabinet temperature to ensure it stays within the -10 to 45 deg C range to maintain the full 5.5 kW output without thermal derating.
-
Control Wiring: Utilize the digital and analog inputs to maximize the drive's built-in Smart Logic Controller. For long cable runs for the analog reference (0-10V or 4-20mA), use twisted-pair shielded cables and keep them at least 200 mm away from power cables to avoid signal corruption that could lead to speed instability.
