Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

The Drives Efficiency Calculater will calculate power losses for your Allen-Bradley drive, ensuring it meets the IEC 61800-9-2 standard.

A PowerFlex® low voltage variable frequency drive is designed to deliver greater production output, uptime and energy savings, as well as increasing productivity. This VFD offers flexible, high performance motor control solutions for a wide range of industrial applications. A PowerFlex low voltage drive can be applied throughout your plant from traditional applications to more advanced motor control.

Designed for ease of use, our PowerFlex® compact VFD can help you optimize your panel space and application versatility. This variable frequency drive provides an innovative, modular design that supports fast and easy installation and configuration. A compact class drive delivers a simple and cost-effective solution for standalone machine-level control applications or simple system integration.

Looking for a drive that meets your most demanding applications? An Armor™ PowerFlex® VFD On-Machine™ drive system provides an integrated near-motor, pre-engineered solution that is  designed for harsh environments.

PowerFlex® 6000 VFDs are engineered for new and retrofit, variable and constant torque, plus, high-speed applications up to 120 Hz. Industrial applications include fans, pumps, mills, conveyors and compressors that require variable speed motor control from 2.3…11 kV. PowerFlex 6000T variable frequency drives also feature TotalFORCE® technology to help increase productivity, energy savings, quality and uptime.

PowerFlex® 7000 medium voltage drives have air- or liquid-cooled options available in a broad 150…25,350 kW (200…34,000 Hp) power range, rated 2.4…6.6 kV. These standalone drives control speed, torque, direction, starting and stopping of standard asynchronous or synchronous AC motors. The efficient VFD design provides increased reliability, less downtime and fewer spare parts.

The PowerFlex® 7000 VFD with ArcShield™ technology is the first arc-resistant medium voltage drive with full regeneration capabilities. The arc-resistant design is certified to meet global safety standards. The system provides an arc fault rating up to 50 kA and meets Type 2B accessibility protection standards. The PowerFlex 7000 VFD delivers a new level of AC motor speed control safety.

Allen-Bradley DC drives solutions can meet the needs of a wide range of demanding applications. PowerFlex DC drives deliver highly functional, cost-effective drive and control solutions. They are easily configured for most applications. They are designed for DC motor applications and retrofits up to 6000 Hp / 4000 kW. These stand-alone regulators and field controllers are designed for demanding stand-alone, coordinated drive control and drive system applications.
