Power Option Bay provides a cost-effective solution

Our Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 frame 8 high-power AC drive is now available with a Power Option Bay, which provides customers with a costeffective solution for power disconnects and input or output reactors. More specifically, the Power Option Bay supplies a pre-engineered solution based on a customer’s specifications for these options.


Correctly sized circuit breakers, disconnects and contactors provide a convenient means of disconnecting the drive while reactors offer additional protection from power line disturbances. Because parts are based on specific customer input and correctly sized for the appropriate duty rating, the Power Option Bay can help eliminate potential customer errors and consequently help customers save time and reduce costs.

Customers have a choice of Power Option Bay configurations, including the wiring-only bay which allows for almost any cable type in a 600mm deep enclosure. Optional integration into a Centerline MCC lineup is also available.

The PowerFlex 755 frame 8 has the same control pod as the lower horsepower PowerFlex 755 drives with an embedded Ethernet port and five option slots for additional communications, I/O, feedback and safety options. With a power range that reaches from 315 to 450kW (400 to 700HP) at 400/480V AC input, the PowerFlex 755 packaged high power drive with Option Bay provides robustness, ease of use, flexibility and high performance.
