1397-B100R-HAB-PE

The Allen-Bradley 1397-B100R-HAB-PE drive is a regenerative DC drive that belongs to the 1397 series of DC drives. This drive can operate in a forward or a reverse position, making it easier to save energy during operation. This drive can be paired with compatible motors and reach an efficiency of up to 98.6% and it has an efficiency of 88% when the devices are evaluated together. It has been designed and manufactured by Allen-Bradley. The Allen-Bradley 1397-B100R-HAB-PE regenerative DC drive does not include a human-machine interface, although it comes with a blank space where an interface can be installed. It does include a pulse encoder kit and it operates with a Horsepower rating of 100 Horsepower and a voltage rating of 460 Volts AC.

The installation process of the Allen-Bradley 1397-B100R-HAB-PE regenerative DC drive needs to be executed by a professional. First, the drive needs to be included in a grounding system to avoid electromagnetic interference, and the cables between the drive and the motor need to be kept as short as possible to avoid power loss. The connections need to be tightened up enough to withstand motor vibrations and the installation place needs to be static free since the drive and all of its parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. The 1397-B100R-HAB-PE drive also comes with an open chassis so the users can select the proper enclosure for the applications and it needs to be installed in a vertical position. Overheating must be avoided at all costs since it can shut down the drive in the middle of operations, leaving the motor operating by itself, which can damage both pieces of equipment.
