Drive module for light-to-normal industrial loads
The ABB 3AXD50000162116 is a current-lifecycle drive module in the R1 frame size, delivering 1.5 kW normal-use output at 7.8 A from a 200-240 V three-phase input. Heavy-duty use is rated at 1.1 kW and 6.9 A, light-overload use at 1.5 kW and 7.5 A. Communication is via CAN protocol. The module is IP20 rated, open type per NEMA, and includes the control unit.
Output ratings and duty selection
Three duty ratings define the usable output: normal use at 1.5 kW / 7.8 A, heavy-duty at 1.1 kW / 6.9 A, and light-overload at 1.5 kW / 7.5 A. The heavy-duty figure governs continuous operation under high starting torque or shock loads; the normal-use figure applies to variable-torque applications like fans and pumps. For UL-listed installations, heavy-duty output is 1.5 Hp at 6.6 A, light-overload is 2 Hp at 7.5 A.
Integration notes
Mounts as a module; frame R1 determines panel footprint. CAN communication requires a bus terminator at the end node. The 2 digital inputs and 1 digital output handle basic I/O without an expansion module. No analog I/O onboard. Power consumption is 105 W at full load. Input frequency range is 47.5-63 Hz. Efficiency is IE2 class.
