The LXM16MU07M2X is a motion servo drive from Schneider Electric's Easy Lexium 16 line, sized for 0.75 kW nominal power at 220 V with an 8 kHz switching frequency — that 8 kHz carrier quiets the motor whine without derating the continuous output current, which is rated 5.1 A. It runs on single-phase 200-240 V supply (rated 220 V -15/+10 %) and draws 7.9 A line current at 166.7 % overload — the 3-second peak output hits 20 A, so it handles short torque bursts for indexing or clamping moves without tripping.
Mounting and supply — single-phase convenience, no EMC filter
Compact housing format means it fits tight subpanels — the drive is intended for single-phase line supply, so it skips the three-phase transformer and saves cabinet space. Note the 'no EMC filter' variant: you'll need an external filter (or a shielded motor cable with ferrite) to meet EN 61800-3 conducted emissions limits — budget that into the panel layout. Supply frequency tolerance is 50/60 Hz ±5 %, with a network frequency window of 47.5-63 Hz — stable for most mains, but a generator set with loose frequency regulation might need a wider-range drive.
Peak current and overload — what the 166.7 % number means on the line
The 7.9 A line current at 166.7 % overload isn't the continuous draw — it's the peak the drive pulls from the mains during acceleration or load transients. Continuous line current is lower; the continuous output current to the motor is 5.1 A. That 20 A peak output (3 s) gives real headroom for applications like a small indexing table or a pick-and-place axis that needs a short burst of torque — the drive won't fold back on a momentary load spike.
