Duty ratings and real-world fit
The 3AXD50000162185: Two duty curves are on record: normal-duty (light overload) at 15.0 kW / 55.0 A and heavy-duty at 11.0 kW / 48.0 A. The heavy-duty current of 48.0 A is the figure that governs sustained motor starting and braking cycles — if your load profile calls for frequent overloads, size against the 48.0 A heavy-duty line, not the 55.0 A normal-duty number. The UL heavy-duty output is 15 Hp at 46.2 A, so the same derating applies for North American installations.
Mounts as a module, IP20 open type, frame R4. Maximum ambient temperature 50 °C, altitude 1000 m without derating. Operating humidity 5 to 95% non-condensing. Standby loss 35 W; sound level 69 dB(A). No analog I/O — 2 digital inputs and 1 digital output. CAN protocol onboard; no industrial Ethernet interface.
