DC-DC CONVERTERS AND BATTERY CHARGERS
FCL-FX — static frequency converters with fixed output 3–400 kVA
Country: United Kingdom · Model: FCL-FX
The FCL-FX static frequency converter powers 60 Hz equipment from a 50 Hz grid and vice versa, with three-phase models from 3 to 400 kVA and single-phase ones up to 150 kVA. The output voltage and frequency are stabilised, so imported machine tools, pumps or test benches run as if they were on their home grid.

Description
The conversion is static, with no rotating machines. The single-phase range has 15 ratings from 3 to 150 kVA and the three-phase range has 19 ratings from 3 to 400 kVA, so a frame size without a large margin can usually be found for a particular consumer. The direction of operation can be either 50 → 60 Hz or 60 → 50 Hz, with a simultaneous change of voltage level if the equipment is designed for a different grid. The load can be resistive, inductive or capacitive, so motors, transformers and capacitor banks are connected without separate restrictions. Efficiency is at least 85 %, and this loss must be taken into account when calculating room ventilation. The basic IP20 enclosure is installed in an electrical room, and the IP54 / NEMA 3 option is needed for a dusty workshop or a canopy.
How to choose
The deciding question here is whether a fixed pair of output frequencies is enough. If a test bench needs variable voltage and frequency, for example to simulate the grids of different countries, the FCL with adjustable output of 3–500 kVA in the three-phase version is more suitable. Choose the FCL-FX power by the full load power in kVA, allowing for motor starting currents, and the number of phases is set by the consumer's supply scheme.

FAQ
Can the FCL-FX convert 60 Hz to 50 Hz?
Yes, the converter works in both directions, 50 → 60 Hz and 60 → 50 Hz, and changes the output voltage level if needed.
What is the maximum power of the three-phase FCL-FX converter?
The three-phase range ends with a 400 kVA model, with 19 ratings in total starting from 3 kVA. Single-phase versions go up to 150 kVA.
Can a 400 Hz output be obtained for aircraft equipment?
Yes, but only to special order. Standard FCL-FX models work with the 50 and 60 Hz pair of frequencies.
What is the efficiency of the FCL-FX static frequency converter?
The manufacturer states an efficiency of at least 85 %. The remaining power turns into heat, so the room needs ventilation.
Is the FCL-FX suitable for installation outside an electrical room?
The basic IP20 version is designed for an enclosed room. For dust or moisture order an IP54 / NEMA 3 enclosure.
