The 3ABD00046161 is an LV AC machinery drive module in the R4 frame size. It delivers 18.5 kW normal-use output at 38 A from a 380-480 V three-phase supply, with a heavy-duty rating of 15 kW at 32 A. The open-type NEMA rating reinforces that this is a chassis-style module that needs an enclosure around it. IE2 efficiency level applies.
Duty ratings and real-world fit
The normal-use rating of 18.5 kW at 38 A is the figure for sizing the drive to a typical pump or fan load. The heavy-duty rating of 15 kW at 32 A is the one to use when the motor drives a constant-torque load — a conveyor, a crusher, a positive-displacement pump — where the full rated torque is needed across the speed range. A third light-overload rating of 18.5 kW at 36 A sits between them and applies to variable-torque loads with occasional overload peaks.
The 3ABD00046161 is the order code for the 18.5 kW / 38 A variant with standard I/O and fieldbus options.
