The variant string carried on the listing is the identifier a buyer quotes into the ABB channel so the firmware option set and feedback configuration match the rest of the axis. ## Ratings a sizing engineer has to read correctly Output current of 21 A in normal use is the continuous figure, not a peak — for a servo axis the peak will be a multiple of that value over a short duty window, and the motor's thermal curve is what actually limits continuous torque above the rated current. The 200–480 V input window covers the standard three-phase feeds on record; any tap change is outside the spec list carried here. Frequency acceptance from 48 Hz to 63 Hz covers weak-mains and engine-generator sets — anything outside that window is a parameter the drive is not specified to ride, and the input contactor is what actually protects the front end. IP20 on a drive this class means it goes inside an enclosure; it is not a machine-surface or washdown-area part, and the cabinet cooling budget has to be sized against its dissipation. ## Where this class of drive is deployed Low-voltage AC servo drives in this output class typically run packaging-machine axes, converting and printing lines, and small-format material-handling servos where 21 A continuous gives enough headroom for the motor's peak torque demand without oversizing the cabinet footprint. ## Same-frame sibling worth weighing before the BOM freezes The closest same-frame candidate in the line is the 3AXD50000384884, which holds the same Frame A footprint, the same 200–480 V 3-phase input, and the same IP20 enclosure, but is rated at 28 A normal-use output versus 21 A on the 3AXD50000384860. ## Lifecycle and how it is sourced The WEEE classification recorded for the drive is 'Product Not in WEEE Scope', the line the listing gives for end-of-life handling documentation; the full compliance pack is ordered through the same ABB channel that handles the RFQ.","metaTitle":"ABB 3AXD50000384860 Servo Drive, 21 A, 200–480 V","metaDescription":"ABB 3AXD50000384860 Frame A LV AC servo drive, 21 A normal-use output, 200–480 V 3-phase, IP20.

The output sizing has to be re-checked because the 3AXD50000384884 is rated at 28 A continuous versus 21 A on the 3AXD50000384860, so the lower-output drive will run closer to its continuous limit on an axis that was sized around the larger part."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does ABB provide for 3AXD50000384860?","answer":"The listing records the WEEE category as 'Product Not in WEEE Scope'; the full RoHS, REACH, UL, and IEC compliance pack is ordered through the ABB channel alongside the RFQ."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/abb/3AXD50000384860","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/abb/3AXD50000384860 when reusing this data.
