Drives & Motors

PowerFlex® Architecture-class AC Drives deliver cost-effective solutions for a wide range of global applications. Designed for ease of use, this general-purpose class of drives provides time-saving benefits as well as a compact package to optimize panel space and application versatility.

PowerFlex® Compact-class AC Drives deliver a simple and cost-effective solution for standalone machine level control applications or simple system integration. Designed for ease of use, this general-purpose class of drives provides a compact package to optimize panel space and application versatility.

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

Our PowerFlex® 6000 Medium Voltage AC Drives allow for flexibility in a variety of applications. They are suited for new and retrofit, variable torque, and constant torque applications. Some of these applications include fans, pumps and compressors that require variable speed motor control from 2.3...11 kV. These drives are available in multiple configurations based on motor voltage and regional requirements.

Our PowerFlex® 7000 Medium Voltage AC Drives are air-cooled or liquid-cooled drives available in a broad power range of 200…34000 Hp and supply voltages of 2400…6600V AC. These general purpose, stand-alone drives control speed, torque, direction, starting, and stopping of standard asynchronous or synchronous AC motors.

Our PowerFlex® 7000 Drive System with ArcShield™ technology is the first arc resistant medium voltage drive with full regeneration capabilities. The arc resistant system is certified to meet the most comprehensive set of global arc resistant standards. This system provides an arc fault rating up to 50 kA and meets Type 2B accessibility protection standards.

Our full line of PowerFlex® DC drive products includes PowerFlex DC digital drives, PowerFlex DC standalone regulators (SAR), and PowerFlex DC field controllers. Our DC solutions can meet the needs of a wide range of demanding applications. They are designed for DC motor applications and retrofits up to 6000 Hp / 4000 kW.

General Purpose Motors are available in a wide range of enclosures, including TENV, TEFC, ODP, and DPG, and power ranges from fractional to 400 Hp. These motors can be used with a variable frequency drive or across the line for most applications in a non-severe duty environment.

Harsh environment motors are built to withstand challenges such as water and food processing applications. TENV and TEFC enclosure ratings are available across a wide range of horsepowers from fractional to 350 hp. These motors can be used with a variable frequency drive or across the line.

Vector control variable speed motors are built specifically for inverter and vector duty applications with constant torque capability to zero speed. Multiple enclosure ratings and horsepower ranging from ¼ to 1000 hp are available. These motors are used with variable frequency drives only.
