The FRN0018G2S-2GU: Input accepts 200-240 VAC +10%/-15% at 50/60 Hz; output voltage is 0-230 VAC, frequency adjustable from 0.1 to 120 Hz. The NEMA 1 open enclosure means it's for indoor panel mounting, not a washdown environment. Protection coverage is solid for a pump or fan duty: drive and motor thermal overload, overvoltage, undervoltage, phase failure, and phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground short circuit. The built-in dynamic braking handles quick stops without an external brake chopper on this frame.
The 5 hp / 16.7 A rating is at the drive terminals, not the motor nameplate. For a standard 5 hp 208 V three-phase motor, full-load amps typically run around 15 A, so this drive has headroom for cable losses and moderate overload — it won't sweat on a properly sized pump or fan. Starting torque is rated at 50% at 1 Hz, which is typical for variable-torque applications like centrifugal pumps and fans. This isn't a constant-torque machine for conveyors or extruders; the drive is optimized for HVAC and pumping duty where the load ramps up with speed. Seven digital inputs and three analog inputs give you room for start/stop, speed reference, and a feedback transducer without adding expansion cards. Five digital and two analog outputs cover run status, fault relay, and retransmission of frequency or current.
Approvals include UL508C (power conversion equipment), CSA C22.2 No.14, and EN50178 (electronic equipment for power installations). That covers North American and European panel builds without a separate certification step.
