Published: January 15, 2013

MILWAUKEE, WI | Rockwell Automation has extended the ratings of its Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 AC drives to 1,500 kW/2,000 Hp, completing the power range of the PowerFlex 750-Series portfolio and reportedly providing customers with a wide selection of options and features.

The PowerFlex 755 drive is said to be well suited for a wide variety of applications ranging from simple variable speed and variable torque control to the most demanding systems requiring constant torque control.

The latest frame extension delivers the enhanced control capabilities of earlier high-power models, including features, such as 400/480/600/690 volt ratings and N-1 technology. Like all PowerFlex 755 drives, the latest frame size includes an embedded Ethernet port and multiple option slots, so users can tailor the drive to their application.

The power-range extension is one of several enhancements to the PowerFlex 755 drive designed to provide application flexibility. Additional features and benefits available include the following floor-mount drives and dual-port EtherNet/IP option module.
