22 kW wall-mounted drive for water and wastewater
The ABB 3AXD50001109615 is an LV AC wall-mounted drive rated for 22 kW normal-use output at 45 A on a 380–415 V three-phase supply. It carries an IP66 / NEMA 4X enclosure, so it handles washdown environments directly — no separate cabinet needed for most water and wastewater installations. Heavy-duty use is rated at 18.5 kW / 37.7 A, and light-overload use at 22 kW / 42.8 A. Under UL conditions the light-overload rating is 30 Hp / 44 A.
Apparent power output is 31.2 kV·A, which gives headroom for motor inrush without nuisance tripping. Standby loss sits at 16 W — relevant if the drive idles for long periods and you're tracking cabinet heat load. Power factor is 0.98, meaning the input stage draws near-sinusoidal current with minimal reactive component. That keeps line distortion low and avoids oversizing upstream transformers or switchgear. Efficiency class is IE2, which is the baseline for this power band. Not the highest tier, but for a pump drive running at or near full load the difference vs IE3 is small in annual kWh terms.
The drive includes 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs, plus 6 digital inputs and 3 digital outputs. That covers a basic pump control scheme — pressure transducer on one analog input, setpoint on the other, with a run status relay on a digital output. Communication is CAN-based. There are no industrial Ethernet interfaces onboard (0 hardware interfaces of that type), so if you need Modbus TCP, PROFINET, or EtherNet/IP, plan for an optional fieldbus adapter module.
Rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C. The IP66 / NEMA 4X enclosure means it's dust-tight and can be hosed down — suitable for outdoor installation under a canopy or inside a treatment plant wet well without a secondary enclosure. Wall-mounted, so it hangs directly on a flat surface. The unit includes a control unit and a CR2032 lithium coin cell (220 mAh, 3 V) for parameter backup.
