Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 20BC170A0AYNANC0 is a high-power adjustable frequency AC drive from the PowerFlex 700 series, engineered for demanding industrial motor control applications requiring precise speed and torque regulation. As a Frame 6 drive rated at 170 amperes continuous output, the Allen-Bradley 20BC170A0AYNANC0 delivers 90 kW (125 HP) in normal duty applications and 75 kW (100 HP) in heavy-duty operation, making it suitable for variable-torque pump and fan loads as well as constant-torque machinery requiring robust overload capacity . The drive operates on 400 VAC three-phase input power and features a comprehensive suite of integrated options including conformal coating, brake IGBT, EMC filtering, and vector control capability.
The Allen-Bradley 20BC170A0AYNANC0 is factory-assembled as a base replacement drive without a Human Interface Module (HIM), allowing integrators to configure operator interface separately or program the drive remotely via PC-based software tools. Vector control with 24V I/O enables the Allen-Bradley 20BC170A0AYNANC0 to deliver high-performance motor regulation including full torque at zero speed when used with encoder feedback, while maintaining compatibility with standard induction motors in Volts-per-Hertz or sensorless vector modes. The integrated brake IGBT provides dynamic braking capability for applications requiring controlled deceleration of high-inertia loads .
The “8C” prefix within the catalog number designates the conformal coating option, protecting the Allen-Bradley 20BC170A0AYNANC0 from moisture, dust, and corrosive contaminants in harsh industrial environments. The built-in second environment EMC filter and common mode choke enable the Allen-Bradley 20BC170A0AYNANC0 to meet CE EMC directive requirements without external filtering components, reducing panel space and wiring complexity . This combination of power density, environmental protection, and integrated compliance features positions the Allen-Bradley 20BC170A0AYNANC0 as a reliable solution for legacy PowerFlex 700 installations and spare parts applications where the platform remains in active service.
