The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 70 AC drive offers a compact package of power, control and operator interface designed to meet the demands for space, simplicity and reliability while providing a broad spectrum of features, allowing the user to easily configure the drive for most application needs.
Flexible Packaging and Mounting
- IP20, NEMA Type 1 – For conventional mounting inside or outside a control cabinet. Conduit plate is vertically removable for easy installation and replacement without disturbing conduit.
- IP 66, NEMA Type 4X/12 – For mounting directly in the production environment. Listed by UL to resist dust, dirt, etc. and survive high pressure water spray. Also certified by NSF to ensure conformity with international food equipment standards.
- Flange Type – For mounting heatsink through back of an enclosure, thus removing a large portion of the heat inside a cabinet. The backside is rated IP66 and UL (NEMA) Type 4X/12 for both indoor and outdoor use.
- The PowerFlex Packaged Drives Program simplifies installation and start up by allowing users to order drive packages that combine operator interface, control, communications and power options in pre-packaged assemblies. Offering a number of commonly requested pre-engineered options, as well as more complex custom-engineered packages, the packaged drives program provides a wide range of motor control options.
Space Saving Hardware Features
- Zero Stacking™ - Package styles can be mounted directly next to one another with no reduction of ambient temperature rating (50° C).
- Integral EMC Filtering provides a compact, all-in-one package solution for meeting EMC requirements, including CE in Europe.
- Integral Dynamic Brake Transistor delivers a cost-effect means of switching regenerative energy without costly external chopper circuits.
- Internal Dynamic Brake Resistor requires no extra panel space, and supplies a large amount of braking torque for short periods.
