Overview
This detailed spec sheet for the SEW-Eurodrive MOVITRAC B MC07B0040-5A3-4-00 rounds out the picture with I/O and control details beyond the core electrical ratings: 4.0kW (5.4HP) of output power on a 3-phase 400V AC supply, drawing a rated output current of 9.5A. What stands out here is the integrated 4-quadrant brake chopper — giving this compact drive dynamic braking capability without needing an external brake resistor module, which is a useful feature at this power level where you might not expect it as standard.
Communication runs over RS485 Modbus RTU, and the I/O count — one analog input, six digital inputs, three digital outputs, and a relay output — supports reasonably advanced control logic for a drive this size. Built-in Class C2 EMC suppression also makes it a safer bet for installations near interference-sensitive equipment. All of this fits inside a compact IP20 enclosure at just 80 x 273.5 x 163.5mm and 2.1kg, so it doesn’t demand much cabinet real estate for what it delivers.
