The 3AXD50000036407: Normal-use output is 18 A; heavy-duty use drops to 14 A at the same 7.5 kW (UL listing matches that at 10 Hp, 14 A). Light-overload use sits at 16.8 A. So if your motor load cycles hard, plan on the 14 A heavy-duty figure for thermal sizing. Efficiency is IE2, standby loss 32 W — not a high-efficiency leader but solid for a general-purpose VFD. Ambient max is 40 °C; above that you'll need to derate or add airflow. Operating humidity 5 to 95% RH, non-condensing, so typical panel conditions are fine.
Frame R2, module mounting, IP20 — so it lands on a DIN rail or backplate inside a clean panel. Two analog inputs and two analog outputs are on board, plus 6 digital inputs and 5 digital outputs. That's enough for basic feedback and control without an extra I/O slice. PC connection is included for commissioning via Drive Composer. Altitude rating is 1000 m; above that, derate per the manual. Sound level is 39 dB(A) — quiet enough for a control room.
