Danfoss VLT Drives — FC302, FC202, FC102 & Obsolete VLT 5000/6000

Edmundson Industrial sources Danfoss VLT variable frequency drives across the current and obsolete lineup — the VLT AutomationDrive FC302, the AQUA FC202, the HVAC FC102, the compact FC280 and FC51, and the discontinued VLT 5000 and VLT 6000 drives still in service. We also source the VACON line, now part of Danfoss Drives. Send the type code or ordering number and we quote availability, condition, and lead time.

Independent sourcing, not an authorized distributor. We supply Danfoss drives as new-surplus, used-tested, and sourced-to-order, with condition disclosed before sale. Danfoss, VLT, and VACON are trademarks of Danfoss, used here for reference only.

Obsolete and legacy Danfoss drives — replacement paths

Cross-references are starting points — verify the replacement against the nameplate and application. Danfoss offers adapter plates that match some legacy footprints. We also source the original drive as surplus.

VLT 6000	Inactive / end of life	VLT HVAC FC102 / FC302

Reading a Danfoss VLT type code

Danfoss VLT drives carry a type code and a six-digit ordering number. The type code reads like FC-302… with power, voltage, enclosure, and option fields; the ordering number reads like 131B…. Send the type code or the ordering number and we confirm the configuration.

How we quote a Danfoss drive

Send the Danfoss type code or ordering number (for example FC-302… or 131B…) off the drive label, or the motor horsepower and voltage if you don't have one.
We confirm the configuration — voltage class, HP / current, enclosure, and options (I/O, fieldbus, and control).
We quote condition, price, and lead time — new-surplus, used-tested, or sourced-to-order, same-day on most requests.
If the replacement changes the footprint or wiring, our fabrication side supplies adapter plates, sub-panels, and modified enclosures so the new drive mounts where the old one came out.

Condition & sourcing

Every Danfoss drive is supplied as new-surplus (unused, from the secondary market), used-tested, or sourced-to-order, with condition disclosed before sale and photos on request. We are an independent surplus and sourcing company, not an authorized distributor.

FAQ

What is the replacement for the Danfoss VLT 5000?

Danfoss positions the VLT AutomationDrive FC302 as the successor to the VLT 5000, and adapter plates are available that match the VLT 5000 footprint. We source the FC302 as a replacement and also supply VLT 5000 units as surplus.

Do you carry obsolete Danfoss VLT 6000 drives?

Yes. We source discontinued VLT 6000, VLT 5000, and VLT 2800 drives as new-surplus and used-tested, and we cross-reference them to the current VLT AutomationDrive and HVAC lines. Condition is disclosed before sale.

Do you source VACON drives?

Yes. VACON is part of Danfoss Drives, and we source VACON 100, VACON 20, and NXP units alongside the VLT line. Send the nameplate and we tell you what we can match.

Are you an authorized Danfoss distributor?

No. Edmundson Industrial is an independent surplus and sourcing company, not an authorized Danfoss distributor. We supply Danfoss drives as new-surplus, used-tested, and sourced-to-order with condition disclosed before sale.
