The 1336S-B030-AN-EN4-LS drive is a variable frequency drive (VFD) that is manufactured by Allen-Bradley and it is part of the popular Allen-Bradley 1336 Plus series of drives. The main functions of the drive are to provide a soft start and stop to the motor that is attached to it and at the same time, it controls the motor’s speed and torque. The Allen-Bradley 1336S-B030-AN-EN4-LS variable frequency drive features a constant output power rating of 30 Horsepower, a voltage line range of 380 to 480 Volts AC and it works with a frequency of 50 to 60 Hertz. The Allen-Bradley 1336S-B030-AN-EN4-LS variable frequency drive needs to be installed in a whole machine system that includes the motor that it controls. This machine system is composed of an air supply source, input power conditioning, input fusing, devices and filters, power and signal cabling, and the motor.

The Allen-Bradley 1336S-B030-AN-EN4-LS variable frequency drive (VFD) has to be included in a grounding system to reduce electrical noise. Also, this drive is extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge, and precautions need to be taken when installing the drive. A static-free environment should be chosen and the technicians need to discharge themselves of static and wear static-free gloves when installing the drive. The Allen-Bradley 1336S-B030-AN-EN4-LS variable frequency drive comes programmed in English with a Version 4 language board and it also has an open enclosure. This open enclosure does not cover the whole drive and that is why a clean environment should be chosen for installing the drive. The room where the drive is going to be installed needs to have proper ventilation.
