Line current at 500 V normal duty is 352 A, dropping to 278 A in heavy duty — this sets the cable cross-section and upstream protection sizing, not the motor nameplate alone. Apparent power of 305 kVA at 500 V normal duty confirms the transformer and switchgear headroom needed upstream. ## Safety integration and fieldbus slots Three option card slots (A, B, C) accept Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, EtherCAT, CANopen, DeviceNet, or digital/analog I/O extension modules — the fieldbus protocol is selected at ordering, not hardwired. Dual RJ45 Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP ports plus a separate RJ45 Modbus serial port allow the drive to sit on both the control network and a commissioning tool simultaneously. ## Cabinet integration and environmental limits Rated IP00 for integration into an IP21 or IP54 cabinet — the drive itself has no enclosure; the panel builder provides the environmental seal and cooling airflow. Integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 category C3 for 300 m motor cable — this covers most industrial installations without an external filter, though C3 limits conducted emissions to an industrial environment, not residential. Operating altitude limited to 2000 m with derating above 1000 m — a site at 1500 m needs the current derating factor applied before sizing the drive to the motor.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric
