The ABB 3AXD50000162147 is a drive module in Frame R3, delivering 4 kW normal-use output at 17.5 A from a 200-240 V three-phase supply. It includes the control unit and communicates over CAN. Rated for continuous duty up to 50 °C ambient, IP20 open-type enclosure — intended for cabinet mounting with forced airflow.
Normal-use (Pn) is 4 kW at 17.5 A — that's the continuous rating for a typical variable-torque fan or pump. Light-overload (PlD) matches the normal-use power at 4.0 kW but at a slightly lower current of 16.7 A, reflecting a different thermal duty cycle. Under UL listing, heavy-duty output is 3 Hp at 11.6 A, light-overload 5 Hp at 16.7 A. Pick the duty class that matches your application's peak demand profile — the heavy-duty number is the conservative sizing gate.
I/O and interfaces
Two digital inputs, one digital output. No analog I/O on this variant. Communication is CAN only — no onboard Industrial Ethernet. If your network requires PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or Modbus TCP, this module needs a fieldbus adapter or a different drive variant.
