The manufacturer’s technical data specifies dimensions of 276 mm × 460 mm × 295 mm and a weight of 24.1 kg. A referenced market listing for a particular configured unit reports approximately 25 kg, so the actual shipping weight can vary with installed modules and accessories.
⚡ Electrical Specifications
The 8V1640.001-2 accepts 3 × 400–480 VAC ±10% and operates at 50/60 Hz ±4%. The maximum installed load is 54 kVA, with an inrush current of approximately 26 A at 400 VAC.
The motor connection is rated for 64 Aeff continuous current and 200 Aeff peak current. The drive supports selectable switching frequencies of 5, 10, and 20 kHz, with a nominal switching frequency of 10 kHz.
🔌 Power and Control
The drive includes a 3300 µF DC bus and a 24 VDC auxiliary supply. Its integrated line filter complies with EN 61800-3 Category C3. The maximum specified motor line length is 25 m, and the drive provides overload, short-circuit, and ground-fault protection.
The modular architecture allows compatible plug-in interfaces and communication modules to be installed according to the machine-control configuration. This makes the unit suitable for integration into B&R-based automation systems requiring coordinated servo motion.
🏭 Typical Applications
The B&R 8V1640.001-2 can be used in high-power automated machinery such as:
- Industrial production machines
- Packaging machinery
- Material-handling systems
- Machine tools
- Automated assembly equipment
- High-power servo motion systems
- Multi-axis machine automation
Before replacement, verify the installed interface modules, firmware, motor data, encoder interface, mains voltage, braking configuration, and machine-specific ACOPOS configuration.
