Allen Bradley 20AD3P4A0AYNANC0 PowerFlex 70 AC Drive

Applications

The Allen-Bradley 20AD3P4A0AYNANC0 PowerFlex 70 AC Drive is an adjustable-frequency AC drive designed for industrial motor speed and torque control. With a 2 HP (1.5 kW) normal-duty rating and a 3.4 A continuous output current, it is suitable for small and medium-sized machinery requiring precise variable-speed operation.

Typical applications include:

• Industrial conveyor and material-handling systems

• Packaging and processing machinery

• Industrial pumps and circulation equipment

• Ventilation fans and air-handling systems

• Automated production equipment

• General-purpose motor control applications

Its enhanced control configuration provides flexible integration with industrial control systems and supports a range of motor-control requirements.

Advantages and Key Features

• Reliable motor control: Provides a 2 HP (1.5 kW) normal-duty rating for compatible industrial motors.

• 480V three-phase operation: Designed for industrial power systems using a compatible three-phase AC supply.

• Enhanced control architecture: Includes enhanced control with 24V I/O for flexible signal and command configuration.

• Integrated braking IGBT: Supports an external braking resistor for applications requiring dynamic braking.

• EMC filtering: Includes a second-environment filter configuration to support electromagnetic compatibility requirements.

• Conformal-coated electronics: Provides additional protection for electronic components in industrial environments.

• Compact installation: Uses a Frame A design with an IP20 / NEMA Type 1 panel-mount enclosure.

• Flexible configuration: Supplied without an installed HIM, internal communication module, or feedback option.

Technical FAQs

1. What is the main purpose of the 20AD3P4A0AYNANC0?

It is designed to regulate the speed and torque of compatible three-phase AC motors by controlling output frequency and voltage.

2. What is the rated motor power?

The drive supports 2 HP (1.5 kW) normal-duty operation. Its heavy-duty rating is 1 HP (0.75 kW).

3. What is its continuous output current?

The continuous output current is 3.4 A for normal-duty operation. The applicable heavy-duty current rating should be checked against the product documentation.

4. What input voltage does this model require?

It is designed for a 480V AC three-phase supply. Confirm the actual supply voltage and frequency against the drive nameplate.

5. Does the drive include a braking IGBT?

Yes. This configuration includes an integrated braking IGBT. A compatible external braking resistor may be connected when required by the application.

6. Can this drive be connected to a PLC?

Yes. Its enhanced 24V I/O supports integration with PLC-based control systems. Additional network communication requires a compatible communication option.

7. Does it have an installed operator keypad?

No. The 20AD3P4A0AYNANC0 is supplied with a blank HIM cover rather than an installed Human Interface Module. A compatible HIM can be purchased separately.

8. What is the function of its EMC filter?

The second-environment EMC filter helps address electromagnetic emissions requirements under applicable installation conditions. Correct grounding, cable routing, and installation practices are also important.

9. Is this drive suitable for pump and fan applications?

Yes. It can be used for compatible pump and fan motors, provided the motor current, load characteristics, and operating requirements are within the drive's ratings.

10. What should be checked when the drive displays a fault?

Review the fault code and drive status. Inspect the input power, motor wiring, load condition, control signals, cooling, and parameter configuration. Correct the cause before resetting the drive.
