Allen Bradley 20AD5P0A3AYYACG0 PowerFlex 70 AC Drive 5 A at 3 Hp 20A

The Allen-Bradley 20AD5P0A3AYYACG0 is a Powerflex 70 series motor controller. This type of device controls the voltage and frequency sent to the motor, and thus it controls the number of revolutions, and it is also called an adjustable frequency AC drive. The 20AD5P0A3AYYACG0 meets the needs for space conservation and control simplicity. It is a reliable controller that comes with a complete package of power distribution and a user-friendly interface. This PowerFlex module has a full numeric LCD interface. The 20AD5P0A3AYYACG0 is filtered, and furthermore, it has an integrated brake resistor. The motor slows down through heat dissipation and this process is called dynamic braking and the resistor that performs the braking is called a dynamic braking resistor. To slow down a motor running at full speed, kinetic energy is converted back into electrical energy. Brake resistors are usually installed in smaller systems, like this one that has a capacity of 5 Amps and 2.2 kW. This system slightly increases the price of the drive, but it indirectly lowers mechanical wear in the system.

The Allen-Bradley 20AD5P0A3AYYACG0 has also a networking feature that allows it to have an easy integration process for installing it in any type of automation architecture. It supports the ControlNet network connection. This is a 480 Volts 3-phase AC-powered device. It comes with an IP20, NEMA/UL Type 1 panel mountable enclosure that is declared as the “B” size. The module has enhanced control with a safe torque-off feature and it can be controlled without feedback. The 20AD5P0A3AYYACG0 can be controlled through the sleep/wake option for the analog signaling of the starting and stopping processes. The premium quality of speed control is achieved with the patented Allen-Bradley FORCE technology.
