Overview of Drive


Introduction

The PowerFlex® 7000 represents the third generation of medium
voltage drives from Rockwell Automation, and is part of the
PowerFlex family of AC drive products. The Allen-Bradley
PowerFlex® family of Drives incorporates leading-edge technology,
embedded communications, and significant commonality across
multiple platforms, networks, operator interface programming and
hardware.

The PowerFlex 7000 is a general purpose stand alone medium
voltage drive that controls speed, torque, direction, starting, and
stopping of standard induction or synchronous AC motors. It is
intended for use on a host of standard and specialty applications such
as fans, pumps, compressors, mixers, conveyors, kilns, and test
stands. Primary industries for these applications include petrochemical,
cement, mining and metals, forest products, power generation, and
water/waste water.


The PowerFlex 7000 is a global product that adheres to the most
common standards from NEC, IEC, NEMA, UL, and CSA. It is
available with the world’s most common supply voltages at medium
voltage, from 2400-6600 volts.


The design focus is on high reliability, ease of use, and lower total
cost of ownership.
