FC 301 / 302 3 x 200-240 V 390 V (UDC) 405 V 410 V

FC 302 3 x 525-600 V 943 V 965 V 975 V
NOTE
Check that the brake resistor can cope with a voltage of 410 V, 820 V, 850 V or
975 V - unless Danfoss brake resistors are used.
Danfoss recommends the brake resistance R

,i.e.
one that guarantees that the adjusta

is typically at 0.98
For the 200 V, 48 0 V, 500 V and 600 V adjusta ble frequency drives, R
REC
at 160% braking torque is written as:
1.

1. For FC 300 adjustab le freque n cy drives ≤ 10 HP [7.5 kW] shaft output
2. For FC 300 adjustab le frequency drives > 10 HP [7.5 kW] shaft output
NOTE
The resistor brake circuit r esistance selected should not be higher than that recommended by
Danfoss. If a brake resistor with a higher ohmic value is selected, the 160% braking torque may not
be achieved because there is a risk that the adjustable frequency drive cuts out for safety reasons.
NOTE
If a short circuit in the brake transistor occurs, power dissipa tion in the brake resistor is only
prevented by u sing a line s witch or contactor to disconnect the AC line for the adjustab le frequency
drive. (The contactor can be controlle d by the adjustable frequency drive).
