Danfoss VLT FCD 303 Operating Instructions Manual page 5

The decentral concept
The FCD 300 Adjustable speed dri v e is designed
for decentral mounting, e.g. in the food and
beverage industry, in the automoti v e 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.

of terminals, similar operation and similar parts
and spare parts for all dri v es - you are free to
mix the three mounting concepts.
