Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 20BC365A0ANNNNC0 PowerFlex 700 AC Drive is engineered for high-power industrial motor-control applications where dependable variable-speed operation is essential. Its 365 A continuous output rating places it among the larger-capacity configurations in the PowerFlex 700 family.

This model is associated with the 400 V AC class and provides a 200 kW normal-duty rating, while its heavy-duty rating is 180 kW. These capabilities make it suitable for large motors used in conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors, process equipment, and other industrial machinery.

The PowerFlex 700 platform is particularly useful in established automation environments. Facilities that already use Allen Bradley control equipment can maintain a familiar drive architecture when servicing existing systems, reducing unnecessary changes to the surrounding automation infrastructure.

The 20BC365A0ANNNNC0 is also a practical reference for industrial maintenance and replacement projects. Since high-power drives represent a significant investment in both equipment and engineering, maintaining an existing system can sometimes be more practical than replacing the entire control architecture.

When purchasing or replacing this model, the complete catalog number should be checked carefully. PowerFlex 700 configurations can differ in electrical ratings, control hardware, feedback, communication, enclosure, and other options, so a similar-looking model should not automatically be considered a direct substitute.
