Product Description:
The RD42.1-5R-053-L is a controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and assigned to the RD 500 Drive Controllers series. Designed for cabinet mounting in process lines, the unit modulates power between a three-phase supply and induction or synchronous motors so that speed, torque, and energy consumption follow the demands of automated machinery. It does this by rectifying incoming AC power, building a DC bus, and inverting that energy through pulse-width modulation into a variable-frequency output. The control stage adjusts output voltage and frequency together to keep motor operation consistent as process demand changes. This control method supports smooth acceleration and stable motion in conveyors, pumps, and material-handling axes.
The converter accepts a 500 V supply and charges its intermediate circuit to 660 V DC ±10%. A continuous current of 100 A is available to deliver 53 kW of nominal DC-bus power. Thermal management relies on forced-air cooling that moves 0.12 m³/s across the heat sink, and this airflow removes internal losses without derating. The housing has an IP20 protection rating, so the unit must be installed in a closed electrical cabinet. The control electronics operate on 50/60 Hz plant power, allowing use with common industrial supply frequencies.
For short-term overloads, the drive can supply 150 A for sixty seconds. Under steady operation, the rated inverter stage supplies 66 kW, and the input section is matched to a 125 A fast-acting fuse with a listed line current of 90 A on the three-phase AC input. The unit does not include an internal brake chopper, so regenerative energy is returned to the line instead of being dissipated in a resistor. This is useful when driven loads feed energy back during deceleration.
