470 A SLD — sizing the drive for the load
The FR-A840-00470-2-60 carries a 470 A SLD (Standard Light Duty) rated current at 400V class, which is the headline number for matching the drive to a motor nameplate. SLD rating typically applies to variable-torque loads like fans and pumps where the peak current stays below the drive's continuous rating. For constant-torque applications (conveyors, extruders), the HD (Heavy Duty) rating on the same frame would be lower — so confirm the duty cycle before committing the BOM line. This is a standard model (structure code 0), meaning no special options like built-in EMC filter or brake transistor — those are separate add-on modules. The -2 = CA type designation indicates the functional variant for the target region; the -60 suffix confirms circuit board coating (3C2) is present but plated conductor is not used, which matters for environments with mild condensation risk but not aggressive corrosive gas.
Panel fit — 15 kg frame, DIN rail or floor mount
The 400V class input accepts three-phase 380-480 VAC at 50/60 Hz. The drive's DC bus voltage will sit around 540-680 VDC depending on line conditions — factor this into the braking resistor selection if deceleration time is tight.
