The ABB 3AXD50000418039 is a wall-mounted drive for water and wastewater. It delivers 22 kW in normal use (89 A output) from a 200–240 V three-phase supply, with heavy-duty capability at 18.5 kW (75 A). Active in production.
The 89 A normal-use output (In) is the number that governs cable sizing and thermal stress in continuous-duty pumping. Heavy-duty use at 75 A (IhD) covers variable-torque loads like centrifugal pumps that never hit full current. Light-overload use at 88 A (IlD) sits just below the normal rating — essentially the same thermal headroom. The 35 kV·A apparent power output gives a quick transformer sizing check. Standby loss of 19 W means the drive draws negligible power when the pump is idle, a real consideration in remote or solar-fed installations. Input voltage range is 200–240 V three-phase. Frequency tolerance is 47.5–63 Hz. Maximum ambient temperature is 40 °C, with 5–95 % humidity and altitude up to 4000 m. Efficiency is IE2, with a power factor of 0.98. That 0.98 is the drive's input power factor — not the motor's — meaning the drive presents a near-unity load to the supply, reducing reactive current in the distribution wiring. Acoustic noise is 63 dB(A) — noticeable in a quiet pump house but not intrusive.
I/O and communication — what's on board
The drive carries 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, 6 digital inputs, and 3 digital outputs. That's enough for a basic pump control scheme (pressure transducer, flow meter, start/stop, run status) without an expansion module. Communication is CAN — no onboard Ethernet. If you need Modbus TCP or PROFINET, an optional fieldbus adapter is required; the hardware interface count shows zero Industrial Ethernet ports. Plan for that in the network architecture.
