Product details

Output Ratings and Duty Selection

The 3AXD50000162031: The normal-duty (light-overload) line is 5.5 kW / 25.0 A, which matches the heavy-duty line at 4.0 kW / 17.5 A for applications with higher peak demand. The UL listing mirrors these: 7.5 Hp light-overload at 24.2 A, and 5 Hp heavy-duty at 16.7 A. The apparent power output is 10 kV·A, and the power factor sits at 0.98. Standby loss is 24 W, so the unit idles efficiently when the motor is stopped.

I/O and Mounting

The control unit provides 2 analog inputs and 1 analog output, plus 5 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs. No battery is included or required. Mounting is module-style, likely onto the R3 power stage or backplane. The unit draws 398 W power consumption at rated load. Altitude rating is 1000 m without derating; higher installations need to account for reduced cooling. The sound level is 65.8 dB(A), which is moderate for an R3 frame drive.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key output ratings for this drive control unit?

Normal-duty (light-overload) output is 5.5 kW at 25.0 A; heavy-duty output is 4.0 kW at 17.5 A. UL ratings are 7.5 Hp at 24.2 A (light-overload) and 5 Hp at 16.7 A (heavy-duty).
