The 1336-BDB-SP44A board is a gate drive board used in the 1336 variable frequency drive that is designed and manufactured by Allen-Bradley. The 1336 drive is used to control and regulate torque and speed by using speed control algorithms. All 3-phase induction motors can be regulated by using the 1336 series drives. The board is a gate drive board that plays a major role in the operation of the drive. It allocates the input voltage supply to all the components of the drive by amplifying the input voltage supply that it receives. The low power input voltage supply is converted into a high voltage supply which in turn runs the drive. The 1336-BDB-SP44A board uses a G Frame and it runs with 460 Volts AC supply. The total output power of the board is 350 Horsepower. The board is manufactured by using high-quality copper with proper insulation.

The installation area for the 1336-BDB-SP44A board should be clean and dry. The board components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). The ESD discharge can affect the components of the board and reduce its performance. No traces of electromagnetic noise should be present in the installation environment. The temperature range of the installation environment should be maintained between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius with a non-condensing maximum relative rating of 95%. The 1336-BDB-SP44A board is equipped with LED indicator lights to show the flow of power across the board. The connectors are placed on the top side of the board. The back of the board comes with mounting screws to mount the gate drive board to the main board of the drive.
