The 3AXD50001003029: The drive carries both IEC and UL ratings: 1.5 kW / 7.6 A under IEC normal use, and 2 Hp / 7.5 A under UL light-overload duty.
Mounting and enclosure — where it fits
Wall-mounted in an IP66 / NEMA Type 4X enclosure, frame size R1. That means it is rated for hose-down environments, outdoor installation under cover, and dusty or corrosive washdown areas — food processing, car washes, chemical dosing skids. The R1 frame keeps the footprint compact for a 1.5 kW drive at this protection level, but plan for the gland plate entry: incoming power and motor cables need to land through the bottom conduit openings, and the IP66 seal must be maintained after wiring. Ambient temperature is capped at 40 °C maximum. If the panel or enclosure sees higher ambient — summer roofline, sun-loaded wall — derate the output current or add forced ventilation. The standby loss of 13 W is modest and won't drive internal heating on its own, but it adds to whatever else shares the enclosure.
Control and communication
Two analog inputs and two analog outputs are onboard for speed reference, feedback, or process-variable retransmission. Six digital inputs and three digital outputs handle start/stop, fault reset, and status indication. The communication interface is CAN — no onboard Ethernet, so if the line uses PROFINET or EtherNet/IP, an optional fieldbus adapter module is needed. The control unit includes a real-time clock backed by a CR2032 lithium coin cell (220 mAh, 3 V). That keeps the time-stamped fault log and run-time counters alive through power cycles. The cell is replaceable; factor a spare into the MRO kit if the drive is in a hard-to-access location.
Efficiency and power quality
Rated IE2 efficiency level with a power factor of 0.98. That is the drive-side input power factor — near-unity, so no external power-factor correction is needed for the drive itself. The 13 W standby loss is the control electronics draw when the motor is not running; it is not the full no-load input power, which will be higher due to the DC bus precharge and fan.
