The ABB 3AXD50000268498 is an ACQ580-01 wall-mount VFD in frame R6, built for water and wastewater duty on 208–240 V three-phase supply. Light-overload rating hits 143 A (50 Hp), heavy-duty drops to 40 A (40 Hp) — that 143 A figure is the one you size branch feeders for when the pump runs continuous. Apparent power output is 57 kVA. Enclosure is IP21 / NEMA Type 1, so it's indoor panel or wall-mount only; keep ambient under 40 °C. Standby loss sits at 22 W — negligible for the cabinet heat budget, but counts if you're on a UPS-backed control power bus.
Frame R6 is the physical envelope — determines gland plate layout, DIN-rail or backplate drilling, and whether it fits a 600 mm wide cabinet. Wall-mounting is standard; no floor-standing kit needed. The 143 A light-overload curve is for variable-torque loads (pumps, fans) where the drive rarely sees peak current for more than a minute. Heavy-duty 40 A is for constant-torque applications (conveyors, positive-displacement pumps) at full rated current. If your motor FLA sits between 40 and 143 A, you're in the light-overload zone — just confirm the motor's service factor and the drive's thermal model match. IE2 efficiency class means it meets the EU minimum for this power band; no premium-efficiency premium to pay.
