Allen Bradley 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN PowerFlex 753 AC Drive

Applications

The Allen Bradley 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN PowerFlex 753 AC Drive is an industrial variable-frequency drive designed for adjustable-speed control of three-phase AC motors. This model belongs to the 600 VAC three-phase PowerFlex 753 range and provides a 17 A continuous output rating, with 15 HP normal-duty and 10 HP heavy-duty ratings.

The drive is suitable for industrial machinery and process equipment where controlled motor speed, acceleration, deceleration, and reliable drive monitoring are required.

Typical applications include:

• Industrial conveyor systems
• Pumps and water-handling equipment
• Fans and blowers
• Compressors
• Material-handling machinery
• Packaging machines
• Production lines
• Process equipment
• Machine-building applications
• Industrial ventilation systems
• Motor-driven mechanical equipment
• PowerFlex 753 replacement and maintenance projects

The 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN is also suitable for applications where a protected packaged drive is preferred. Its Type 12 / IP54 configuration provides additional enclosure protection for suitable industrial environments.

Technical FAQs

1. What is the Allen Bradley 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN?
The Allen Bradley 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN is a PowerFlex 753 AC Packaged Drive designed for three-phase industrial motor speed control. It is a 600 VAC model with a 17 A continuous output rating and Frame 3 construction.

2. What is the output current of the 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN?
The drive has a 17 A continuous output rating. Its application ratings are 15 HP for normal-duty operation and 10 HP for heavy-duty operation.

3. What voltage class does this PowerFlex 753 drive use?
The 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN belongs to the 600 VAC, three-phase PowerFlex 753 drive range. The actual electrical installation should always be checked against the drive nameplate and the site's power system.

4. What enclosure does the 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN have?
This configuration uses a Type 12 / IP54 enclosure. This enclosure arrangement provides protection suitable for many industrial installations, although the actual installation environment must still be evaluated for temperature, moisture, dust, ventilation, and contamination.

5. Does the drive include dynamic braking?
Yes. The 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN configuration includes a dynamic braking transistor. If dynamic braking is required, the braking resistor and related wiring must be correctly selected and installed for the application.

6. Does the 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN include an EMC filter?
Yes. This configuration includes an EMC filter. Proper grounding, motor-cable routing, shielding where required, and installation practices remain important for electromagnetic compatibility.

7. What applications are suitable for this 17 A PowerFlex 753 drive?
Suitable applications can include conveyors, pumps, fans, blowers, compressors, material-handling systems, production machinery, and other industrial equipment requiring variable-speed AC motor control. The actual motor rating should be checked against the drive's normal-duty or heavy-duty rating.

8. What should be checked before replacing an existing drive with the 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN?
Check the incoming voltage, motor current, horsepower, duty rating, enclosure requirements, frame size, braking configuration, I/O, control architecture, communication requirements, cabinet dimensions, and cooling conditions. The complete catalog number should be compared rather than selecting a replacement based only on horsepower.

9. Is the 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN still available as a current-production drive?
This exact AA0NNNNN catalog configuration has been discontinued. The corresponding replacement catalog number is 20F11GE017JA0NNNNN. The original model can therefore remain relevant for existing-system maintenance, spare-parts requirements, and replacement of installed equipment.

10. What are the dimensions and weight of the Allen Bradley 20F11GE017AA0NNNNN?
The specified dimensions are 551 × 220.1 × 268 mm, and the supplied weight is 12 kg (26.46 lb). These measurements should be considered when planning cabinet mounting, ventilation, cable clearance, and maintenance access.
