® AutomationDrive FC 300. The FC 300 comes in two shaft performance levels. FC 301 ranges from scalar (U/f) to VVC+, and FC 302 ranges from scalar (U/f) to servo performance. These Operating Instructions cover both FC 301 and FC 302. Where information covers both series, we refer to FC 300.
Page 4: Approvals
AutomationDrive FC 300 Operating Instructions provide the neccessary information for getting the drive up and running. The VLT ® AutomationDrive FC 300 Design Guide entails all technical information about the drive and customer design and applications. The VLT ® AutomationDrive FC 300 Profibus Operating Instructions provide the information required for controlling, monitoring and programming the drive via a Profibus fieldbus.

Page 20: Fuses
The frequency converter must be protected against short-circuit to avoid electrical or fire hazard. Danfoss recommends using the fuses mentioned below to protect service personnel or other equipment in case of an internal failure in the drive. The frequency converter provides full short circuit protection in case of a short-circuit on the motor output.
