Danfoss VLT Variable Frequency Drives
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.

What replaces obsolete and legacy Danfoss drives?
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.
| Legacy drive | Status | Typical current replacement |
|---|---|---|
| VLT 5000 | Inactive / end of life | VLT AutomationDrive FC302 (adapter plates match footprint) |
| VLT 6000 | Inactive / end of life | VLT HVAC FC102 / FC302 |
| VLT 2800 | Obsolete | VLT Micro FC51 / Midi FC280 |
| VLT 3500 / 4000 | Obsolete | VLT AutomationDrive FC302 |
| Older FCD / FC | Obsolete | Current FC equivalent |
How do you read 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 do 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, timing confirmed with the request.
- 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.
