What the 4.5 A line current means for your branch circuit
The LXM16MU04M2X draws 4.5 A line current at 185.3 % of rated load under 220 V single-phase supply — this is the peak draw during acceleration or overload, not the steady-state run current. Size the branch circuit protection and upstream contactor for this peak, not the 2.6 A continuous output current. Continuous output current is 2.6 A at 220 V, delivering 400 W continuous power. The 3-second peak output current of 10 A at 220 V handles short-duration torque demands without tripping.
Single-phase supply and switching frequency trade-offs
Runs on a 200-240 V single-phase network (supply voltage limits -15 % / +10 %), 50/60 Hz ±5 %. The 8 kHz switching frequency is fixed — no derating needed for standard motor noise suppression, but the drive's compact housing limits heatsink area, so ambient temperature derating applies above 40 °C. Maximum leakage current is 3.5 mA — plan for a residual-current device (RCD) type A or B if local code requires it, especially on shared GFCI-protected circuits.
