20AD8P0A1AYNNNNN

The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 20AD8P0A1AYNNNNN is a 480 Volts AC variable frequency drive. The drive is used in applications that need a controlled starting current. Additionally, the 20AD8P0A1AYNNNNN is used to control the motors used in factories because it reduces the power line disturbances and it lowers the power demand on startup. The controller, as with other Allen-Bradley variable speed controllers, provides controlled acceleration and deceleration to the motor so that precise application performance can be achieved. The use of an adjustable frequency drive like the 20AD8P0A1AYNNNNN eliminates the need for additional costly mechanical drive components. The 20AD8P0A1AYNNNNN is part of the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 70 family. This family is constituted by drives with varying input power needs, current ratings, and horsepower ratings.

The 20AD8P0A1AYNNNNN contains status indicators on its front panel. The indicators are used to report things like whether the drive is ready for running, whether the drive is operating with faults, and the general status of all the devices interfaced with the drive. Also, the status indicators help in early error or fault reporting and as the beginning of the troubleshooting procedure. The 20AD8P0A1AYNNNNN is sensitive to temperature variations and thus it does not operate optimally at very high temperatures or at extremely low temperatures. Therefore, in the case of industrial environments with high temperatures, cooling mechanisms should be put in place. This includes mounting the 20AD8P0A1AYNNNNN in place with adequate ventilation and an air supply. Additionally, when not in use, the drive should not be stored in environments with temperatures below -40 degrees Celsius.
