The 3ADT218566S0162: The 5200 A output is the continuous rating for the converter section — that governs the motor armature current in a DC drive system. The 525 VAC input is the nominal line voltage; the unit is designed for 50 Hz supplies. Frame H8 means the mechanical footprint and busbar layout match the standard DCS880 H8 frame; if you're replacing an existing H8-frame DCS880, this bolts in. Sound level is 82 dB(A) — expect that in the drive room; plan for hearing protection if operators work nearby. Ambient humidity range is 5 to 95% RH, non-condensing. The auxiliary terminals carry an IP00 degree of protection per IEC 60529 and IEC 60947-1, so they are not sealed against dust ingress — the converter is intended for cabinet mounting. Three analog inputs and two analog outputs are available on the control board — typical for speed reference, current feedback, or process setpoint signals. The 2Q (two-quadrant) topology means it handles motoring and regenerative braking in one direction only; for reversing or full four-quadrant control you would need a 4Q variant.

Frequently asked questions
What is the frame size of this DCS880 converter?
Frame size H8. That determines the mechanical mounting, busbar spacing, and cabinet cutout.
What is the sound level of this unit?
82 dB(A). Factor that into drive-room noise planning.
