Product details

The light-overload rating matches the normal-use power at 4.0 kW (16.7 A), confirming the drive can sustain that output without derating. UL listings provide equivalent horsepower ratings: 3 Hp heavy-duty (11.6 A) and 5 Hp light-overload (16.7 A). For a North American panel build, the 5 Hp light-overload line is the practical selection for a 5 Hp motor on a variable-torque load. Input voltage range of 200-240 V AC three-phase with frequency tolerance of 47.5-63 Hz. Power factor is 0.98 at rated load.

MODBUS is the onboard protocol — no fieldbus option module required for basic RTU or TCP communication. Two analog inputs and one analog output handle speed reference and actual-value feedback. Five digital inputs and two digital outputs cover start/stop, fault reset, and status indication. No industrial Ethernet interface (0 hardware interfaces for Ethernet), so if you need PROFINET or EtherNet/IP, this is not the variant.

Rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 50 °C and altitude up to 1000 m without derating. Operating humidity range 5-95% RH (non-condensing). Standby loss of 23 W and total power consumption of 265 W at rated output — factor these into panel cooling calculations.

Sound level is 65.8 dB(A) — audible in a quiet control room but typical for an R3 frame drive. No battery included, so no periodic battery replacement on the BOM.

Frequently asked questions

What communication protocol does this unit support?

MODBUS is the onboard protocol. There are no industrial Ethernet interfaces (0 hardware interfaces for Ethernet), so this is a MODBUS-only variant.

What compliance documentation is available?

RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU (date 20230303). REACH compliant with substances >0.1% declared (date 20250905). SCIP number cb415b59-4237-4c11-b542-bb9f3de4d187 Finland is on file. UL listed with horsepower and current ratings for both heavy-duty and light-overload use.

What is the altitude rating?

Rated for operation up to 1000 m without derating.
