Allen-Bradley 25B-D013N114 PowerFlex 525 AC Drive 480V/13A/7.5HP

The 25B-D013N114 is a PowerFlex 525 adjustable frequency AC drive. This drive is also referred to a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), Adjustable Speed Drive, variable Speed Drives, Frequency Inverter, inverter or simply, drive. All terms refer to an electronic device that is used to implement motor control including modulating speed control. Adjustable AC frequency drives are generally composed of a rectifier, DC filter and inverter circuitries.

The 25B-D013N114 implements speed regulation using a variety of control methods. Selectable control methods include Sinusoidal PWM, Volts/Hertz, Sensorless Vector Control, Economizer SVC motor control, Closed Loop Velocity Vector Control, Surface Mount and Interior Permanent Magnet Motor (without encoder), and Interior Permanent Magnet Motor (with encoder). Motor is driven via the electrical output characteristics of this drive such as output power of 5.5 kW or 7.5 HP for both normal and heavy-duty operation, 13.0 Amperes and programmable frequency output of 0-500 Hz.

This drive not only implements speed control but may also be used for energy savings. This drive has programmable start-up and shutdown parameters such as ramp-up, ramp down, acceleration and deceleration as well as motor idle operation. These parameters minimize generation of large inrush current and limits the effect of mechanical stress due to sudden change of phase of motor operation.

The 25B-D013N114 also features an integrated EMC filter, embedded communication interfaces such as Ethernet and RS485 ports that allow networking of the drive and permit remote configuration, operation and integration. Aside from the embedded communication interface, supported communication adapters include ProfiBus DP, ControlNet and DeviceNet.

The 25B-D013N114 is a 3-phase AC drive that has a heavy load power rating of 5.5 kilowatts. The voltage rating of the 25B-D013N114 is 400 Volts AC and the current rating of the drive is 13 Amps. The output frequency of the 25B-D013N114 is 500 Hertz. The 25B-D013N114 supports multiple field bus communication type cards that are supported universally by other Allen-Bradley AC drives. The 25B-D013N114 supports DIN rail-type mounting for easy and quick installations. During installation, a NEMA certified open type IP20 or IP30 enclosure is required. The 25B-D013N114 comes with an integrated HIM (Human Interface Module) that supports multiple features as well as multiple languages. It is compatible with Quickview, Appview, and Customview apps, making programming and control easier thanks to the USB programming support. It has more I/O than prior Powerflex AC drive models and it also supports closed-loop feedback. It also comes with an optional encoder card that can be included when shipped. The overall dimensions of the 25B-D013N114 come at 220 x 109 x 184 millimeters in width, length, and depth.
