mounted kit, or adapter plate and power crimp terminals
separately.
No gasket is supplied with the FCP 106 drive.
195NA447.10
Therefore, before installation, design and test a gasket to
fulfill the ingress protection requirement (for example IP55,
IP66, or Type 4X).
Requirements for gasket:

• Maintain the ground connection between the
drive and the motor. The drive is grounded to the
motor adapter plate. Use a wire connection
between the motor and the drive.
• Use a UL-approved material for the gasket, when
UL listing or recognition is required for the
assembled product.
• The ingress of water or humidity by the motor

2.3.1 Control Structure Open Loop
In the configuration shown in Illustration 2.13, parameter 1-00 Configuration Mode is set to [0] Open loop. The resulting
reference from the reference handling system or the local reference is received and fed through the ramp limitation and
speed limitation. After that, it is sent to the motor control. The output from the motor control is then limited by the
maximum frequency limit.

2.3.2 Control Structure Closed Loop (PI)
The internal controller allows the drive to become a part of the controlled system. The drive receives a feedback signal from
a sensor in the system. It then compares this feedback to a setpoint reference value and determines the difference, if any, 2 2
between these 2 signals. It then adjusts the speed of the motor to correct this difference.
For example, consider a pump application controlling the speed of a pump to ensure a constant static pressure in a pipe.
The desired static pressure value is supplied to the drive as the setpoint reference. A static pressure sensor measures the
actual static pressure in the pipe and supplies this data to the drive as a feedback signal. If the feedback signal is greater
than the setpoint reference, the drive reduces speed to reduce the pressure. In a similar way, if the pipe pressure is lower
than the setpoint reference, the drive automatically speeds up to increase the pump pressure.

Failure to follow the recommendation means that the

2.8 Galvanic Isolation (PELV)

PELV offers protection by way of extra low voltage.
2 2 Protection against electric shock is ensured when the
electrical supply is of the PELV type and the installation is
made as described in local/national regulations on PELV
supplies.
All control terminals and relay terminals 01-03/04-06

comply with PELV (protective extra low voltage) (does not
apply to grounded delta leg above 300 V).
Galvanic (ensured) isolation is obtained by fulfilling

requirements for higher isolation and by providing the
relevant creapage/clearance distances. These requirements
are described in the EN/IEC 61800-5-1 standard.
The components that make up the electrical isolation also

comply with the requirements for higher isolation and the
relevant test as described in EN/IEC 61800-5-1.
The PELV galvanic isolation is shown in Illustration 2.25.
To maintain PELV, all connections made to the control

terminals must meet the requirements for PELV.

The efficiency of a motor running at 50–100% of the

nominal motor speed and at 75–100% of the nominal
torque is practically constant. This is valid both when the
drive controls the motor, or when the motor runs directly
on mains.
The efficiency depends on the type of motor and the level

of magnetization.

4.2.2 The Clear Advantage - Energy Savings
Overmodulation is a way to increase the motor voltage
delivered by the drive for fmot 45–65 Hz. The clear advantage of using a drive for controlling the
speed of fans or pumps lies in the energy savings.
• Advantages of overmodulation: When comparing with alternative control systems and
technologies, a drive is the optimum energy control system

- The drive can give nominal grid voltage

5.1 Drive Configurator

Configure a drive according to the application requirements, using the order number system.
Order drive motors as standard or with internal options by using a type code string, for example:
FCP106N4K0T4C66H1FSXXA00
Refer to chapter 5.2 Type Code String for a detailed specification of each character in the string. Ordering numbers for drive 5 5
motor standard variants are available in chapter 5.3 Ordering Numbers.
To configure the correct drive for an application, and generate the type code string, use the internet-based Drive Config-
urator. The Drive Configurator automatically generates an 8-digit sales number to be delivered to the local sales office.
Furthermore, it can produce a project list with several products and send it to a Danfoss sales representative.
To access the Drive Configurator, go to: www.danfoss.com, and search for drive configurator.

1) NO: Normal overload, 110% for 1 minute. HO: High overload, 160% for 1 minute. H7K5: 150% for 1 minute.
A drive intended for HO requires a corresponding motor rating. For example, Table 6.5 shows that a 1.5 kW motor for HO requires a N2K2 drive.
2) Maximum cable cross-section is the largest cable cross-section that can be attached to the terminals. Always observe national and local
regulations.
3) Applies to dimensioning of drive cooling. If the switching frequency is higher than the default setting, the power losses may increase. LCP and
typical control card power consumptions are included. For power loss data according to EN 50598-2, refer to www.danfoss.com and search for
ecoSmart.
4) Efficiency measured at nominal current. For energy efficiency class, see chapter 6.5 Ambient Conditions. For part load losses, see

5) Measured using 4 m (13.1 ft) shielded motor cables at rated load and rated frequency.

6.3 Mains Supply

Mains supply (L1, L2, L3)
Supply voltage 380–480 V ±10%
Mains voltage low/mains dropout:
• During low mains voltage or a mains dropout, the drive continues until the DC-link voltage drops below the minimum
stop level. This level typically corresponds to 15% below the lowest rated supply voltage of the drive. Power-up and full
torque cannot be expected at mains voltage lower than 10% below the lowest rated supply voltage of the drive.
Supply frequency 50/60 Hz
Maximum imbalance temporary between mains phases 3.0% of rated supply voltage
True power factor (λ) ≥0.9 nominal at rated load
Displacement power factor (COSφ) Near unity (>0.98)
Switching on the input supply L1, L2, L3 (power-ups) Maximum 2 times/min.
Environment according to EN 60664-1 and IEC 61800-5-1 Overvoltage category III/pollution degree 2
The unit is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than: 6 6
• 100000 RMS symmetrical Amperes, 480 V maximum, with fuses used as branch circuit protection.
• See Table 6.7 and Table 6.8 when using circuit breakers as branch circuit protection.
6.4 Protection and Features

Protection and features
• Electronic motor thermal protection against overload.
• Temperature monitoring of the heat sink ensures that the drive trips when the temperature reaches 90 °C (194 °F)
±5 °C (41 °F). An overload temperature cannot be reset until the temperature of the heat sink is below 70 °C
(158 °F) ±5 °C (41 °F). However, these temperatures may vary for different power sizes, enclosures, and so on. The
drive autoderating function ensures that the heat sink temperature does not reach 90 °C (194 °F).
• The drive motor terminals U, V, and W are protected against ground faults at power-up and start of the motor.
• When a motor phase is missing, the drive trips and issues an alarm.
• When a mains phase is missing, the drive trips or issues a warning (depending on the load).
• Monitoring of the DC-link voltage ensures that the drive trips when the DC-link voltage is too low or too high.
• All control terminals and relay terminals 01–03/04–06 comply with PELV (protective extra low voltage). However,
this compliance does not apply to grounded delta leg above 300 V.
