FAQs
The 3AXD50001011246 fits standard wall-mounted HVAC installations with an IP21 enclosure as standard and an IP55 option available. It integrates an active supply unit and low harmonic filter, reducing external hardware. Ensure electrical cabinet space accommodates the integrated dimensions and verify 230 V supply and 211 A current rating align with system loads such as fans and pumps.
A THDi below 3% minimizes harmonic distortion, improving overall power quality and reducing cooling and electrical wear on equipment. This leads to higher system efficiency, lower transformer and switchgear stress, and potential energy savings across multiple fans, pumps, and compressors in HVAC installations.
Yes. The drive is designed for HVAC applications including fans, pumps, air-handling units, and compressors. Its integrated features (voltage boost and PF correction) support stable operation across varying loads, while the compact wall-mounted form factor simplifies retrofits in mechanical rooms with space constraints.
The device comes with an IP21 enclosure standard and offers an IP55 option for harsher environments. It supports wall mounting, and flange mounting variants are available, enabling flexible installation in mechanical rooms, corridors, or protected outdoor-adjacent areas depending on site requirements.
Maintenance is streamlined by an integrated design that reduces external filters and wiring, while Bluetooth enables remote commissioning and monitoring to shorten on-site visits. The result is faster deployment, lower installation costs, improved energy efficiency from built-in PF correction, and longer motor life from enhanced power quality.
