Continuous output current is 2.8 A at that switching rate; the 3-second peak output current is 9.6 A, which covers the acceleration transient for a motor load sized to the continuous rating. The switching frequency is fixed at 8 kHz — not a carrier that can be lowered to gain more continuous current, so the 2.8 A figure is the hard thermal limit for sustained duty. Line current draw is 4.9 A at 184.65 % of the nominal load under single-phase 220-240 V supply. That percentage tells you the drive draws nearly double its rated output current from the line during peak demand — budget the upstream branch circuit protection and wiring for at least 5 A continuous per drive, not the 0.4 kW output number. ## Single-phase supply — voltage window and frequency tolerance Rated supply voltage is 220-240 V single phase with a -15 to +10 % tolerance, giving a working range of 170-255 V. The supply frequency acceptance band is 50-60 Hz ±5 %, and the network frequency tolerance extends to 47.5-63 Hz. That covers most global single-phase mains, but the lower voltage end (170 V) will reduce the available output torque — the drive can't boost the DC bus beyond what the input rectifier sees. No integrated EMC filter is fitted. For CE-marked installations or any panel that must pass radiated/conducted emissions testing, budget for a filter rated to the 4.9 A line current. ## Compact housing — panel fit and thermal constraints The drive measures 155.5 mm wide by 48.0 mm high by 166.5 mm deep. That's a low-profile footprint for a 0.4 kW servo — it fits in a shallow 200 mm-deep enclosure with room for wiring ducts. The IP20 rating means it's intended for cabinet installation only; no washdown or dust protection. Operating ambient temperature range is -5 to 45 °C. In a sealed cabinet with other heat sources, the internal temperature rise above ambient needs to stay below that ceiling. The 8 kHz switching stage dissipates heat proportional to the output current; derating is required above 45 °C, though the datasheet doesn't publish the curve here — plan for forced ventilation if the cabinet ambient exceeds 40 °C. ## Integrated I/O and communication — what's on the connector The drive carries Modbus, digital I/O, analog I/O, PTI (pulse train input), and PTO (pulse train output) all integrated — no option cards needed for basic motion control. Two analog inputs are available for speed or torque reference from a PLC or potentiometer. The PTI/PTO channels handle step-and-direction or encoder follower applications up to the drive's internal pulse rate.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric LXM18PDU04M2X Easy Lexium 18 Servo Drive","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric LXM18PDU04M2X Easy Lexium 18 servo drive, 0.4 kW at 220-240 V single phase, 8 kHz switching frequency, active production, available to order.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Servo Drives"],"specifications":{"Depth":"166.5 mm","Width":"155.5 mm","title":"LXM18PDU04M2X","Height":"48.0 mm","EMC filter":"Without EMC filter","description":"Servo drive, Easy Lexium 18, PTI/Ana/MB, 400W, single phase, 220...240V","Line current":"4.9 A 184.65 % at 220...240 V, single phase","Nominal power":"0.4 kW at 220...240 V 8 kHz","lifecycle_stage":"current","Range of product":"Easy Lexium 18","Supply frequency":"50...60 Hz - 5...5 %","Device short name":"LXM18P","Network frequency":"47.5...63 Hz","Operating altitude":"0...1000 m","Format of the drive":"Compact housing","Switching frequency":"8 kHz","Analogue input number":"2","Supply voltage limits":"170...255 V single phase","Output current 3s peak":"9.6 A","Communication interface":"Modbus, integrated Digital I/O, integrated Analog I/O, integrated PTI, integrated PTO, integrated","IP degree of protection":"IP20","Network number of phases":"Single phase","Continuous output current":"2.8 A at 8 kHz","Product or component type":"Motion servo drive","[Us] rated supply voltage":"220...240 V (- 15...10 %) for single phase","Ambient air temperature for operation":"-5...45 °C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/15b101213cce52fe46e2c12bd20ec0c7.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/in/en/product/LXM18PDU04M2X/servo-drive-easy-lexium-18-pti-ana-mb-400w-single-phase-220-240v/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous output current at 8 kHz?","answer":"The continuous output current is 2.8 A at 8 kHz switching frequency.
