Overview

The Danfoss VLT® AQUA Drive FC 202 (SKU: 136H9377) is a dedicated variable frequency drive (VFD) engineered for water and wastewater applications, delivering precise motor control for pumps, fans, and compressors. This 45 kW (60 HP) three-phase drive operates on 525–600V mains, with a continuous current rating of 62 A and frame size C1. The IP55/NEMA Type 12 enclosure resists dust and water jets, enabling wall mounting in plant environments without requiring a control room panel. Key features include a graphical local control panel (LCP-102) for plain-language readouts and parameter cloning, simplifying commissioning and reducing downtime during replacements or system expansions. The integrated mains disconnect and fuses eliminate external components, saving panel space and wiring complexity. The drive supports cascade control for multi-pump sets, pipe-fill mode to prevent water hammer, dry-run and end-of-curve detection, and deragging to clear impeller blockages—critical functions for water infrastructure reliability. The FC 202 is configured to order, with the type code FC-202P45KT6E55HXXGX3XXSXXXXAXBXCXXXXDX defining this exact build. Other configurations (e.g., with brake chopper, Safe Torque Off, or different enclosures) are available. For high-power applications up to 800 kW, the FC 202 scales to meet larger system demands. Ideal for municipal water treatment, irrigation systems, and industrial pumping stations, the FC 202 ensures energy efficiency, operational flexibility, and long-term reliability in harsh environments.

The FENA 21 DualPort module supports Three protocols Modbus-TCP, EtherNet/IP, and the PROFInet IO RT network. The Modbus-TCP protocol is simply the Modbus protocol used on top of Ethernet-TCP/IP. Modbus-TCP is an open Industrial Ethernet network which has been specified by the Modbus-IDA User Organization. EtherNet/IP is based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), which is also the framework for both the ControlNet and DeviceNet network protocols. PROFInet IO RT is an open network based on the PI Organization standard.

What is the operating temperature range without derating?

VLT® AQUA Drives up to 315 kW can operate in ambient temperatures from -25 to 50 °C without derating.

What is the benefit of the back-channel cooling system?

The back-channel cooling system exhausts 90% of system heat outside, reducing the need for air conditioning and lowering installation costs.

What is the purpose of the deragging function?

The deragging function performs impeller washing cycles to maintain pump efficiency, extend maintenance intervals, and increase pump lifetime.

Can the drive be installed outdoors?

Yes, VLT® AQUA Drives are available in protection ratings up to IP66/NEMA 4X for direct outdoor installation.

What is the maximum cable length for installation?

The drive supports cable lengths up to 150 m screened and 300 m unscreened without additional components.

How much energy can be saved annually with this drive?

The VLT® AQUA Drive can deliver energy savings of up to 15% of the drive setup investment annually.

How does the Advanced Active Filter (AAF) work?

AAF monitors supply current, identifies distortion, and injects counter-phase currents to cancel harmonics, restoring the AC power waveform.

What is the THDi for VLT® low harmonic drives?

VLT® low harmonic drives provide a total harmonic current distortion (THDi) of a maximum of 5%.

What is the benefit of SmartStart function?

The SmartStart function saves installation time and hassle with user-friendly commissioning, accessible wirelessly from a mobile device.
