Drive for water and wastewater duty
The ABB 3AXD50001109455 is a wall-mounted drive rated 4 kW (5 Hp) normal duty at 230 V, delivering 16.9 A continuous output. Heavy-duty rating is 3 kW / 10.6 A. Enclosure is IP66 / NEMA 4X, which means the drive withstands hose-down cleaning and corrosive atmospheres — a spec that aligns with water and wastewater plant environments where washdown and chemical resistance are routine. Input range is 200–240 V three-phase, 47.5–63 Hz.
Output ratings and overload capability
Three overload classes are defined: light-overload (PlD) at 4 kW / 16.7 A, normal-use (Pn) at 4 kW / 16.9 A, and heavy-duty (PhD) at 3 kW / 10.6 A. Apparent power output is 7.2 kV·A, which sets the kVA transformer or generator sizing for the branch circuit feeding this drive. Power factor is 0.98, so the drive presents a near-unity load to the line — minimal reactive current means the upstream breaker and cable can be sized closer to the real power draw rather than apparent power.
I/O, communication, and control
The drive includes a control unit with 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, 6 digital inputs, and 3 digital outputs — enough for a basic pump or fan application without an expansion module. Communication is via CAN; no onboard Industrial Ethernet. If the site uses PROFINET or EtherNet/IP, a fieldbus adapter will be needed. Standby loss is 13 W — a figure to factor into panel cooling and energy-tracking budgets, especially if the drive sits idle for long periods.
Product status is Active — ABB continues to manufacture and support this drive.
