The 3AXD50001109806: Communication is BACnet out of the box, so it drops straight into a building automation network. Power factor sits at 0.98, and standby loss is 16 W — numbers that matter when the facility engineer is tracking energy spend per VFD.
Ratings that drive the selection
Three duty points cover the load profile: normal-use (15 kW, 32 A), light-overload (15 kW, 30.4 A), and heavy-duty (11 kW, 24.6 A). The UL light-overload rating is 20 Hp at 27 A. Match the fan or pump curve to the right row — heavy-duty gives you headroom for starting torque or momentary overloads.
Wall-mounted, IP66, NEMA Type 4X. That means rain, hose-down, dust, and corrosion resistance — install it on the roof, beside the cooling tower, or in a food-processing wash bay. No rain hood required in most cases, though direct sun might call for a shade. The drive ships with a control unit included (the Includes field lists it). Onboard analog I/O: 2 inputs, 2 outputs. Digital I/O: 6 inputs, 3 outputs. No onboard Ethernet port — Industrial Ethernet count is 0 — so BACnet is the fieldbus path.
