1.1 Introduction
Due to their ease of use and high reliability, DC1 PowerXL™ variable 
frequency drives are ideal for general applications involving three-phase 
motors. In addition, an integrated radio interference suppression filter and a 
flexible interface ensure that the inverters meet a number of important 
needs in the machine building industry when it comes to the optimization of 
production and manufacturing processes.
For installations in control panels, devices with a performance range of 0.37 
(for 230 V) to 22 kW (for 400 V) are available in a compact and sturdy design 
featuring three available sizes (FS1, FS2, FS3, FS4) and a degree of 
protection of IP20.
For distributed local installations, there are three sizes covering a 
performance range of 0.37 (for 230 V) to 7.5 kW (for 400 V) and featuring a 
degree of protection of IP66. These models come in two versions: with and 
without local controls. These local controls include a setpoint potentiometer, 
a selector switch for switching operating directions, and a lockable main 
switch on the mains side. 
The computer-based drivesConnect parameter configuration program 
ensures data integrity and reduces the time required for commissioning and 
maintenance.
In addition, the comprehensive accessories available increase the inverters’ 
flexibility in all scopes of application.
