Architecture Drives

PowerFlex® Architecture-class AC Drives provide a broad set of features and application-specific parameters. Our drives are ideal for high performance applications. This class of drives is designed for advanced application flexibility and control system integration. These features converge and optimize manufacturing disciplines into a plant-wide integrated architecture with real-time information access throughout your power and control system, enterprise, and supply chain.
PowerFlex 700 AC Drives
PowerFlex® 700 AC Drives are available in a wide range of horsepower ratings. These drives control three-phase induction motors in applications with requirements ranging from the simplest speed control to the most demanding torque control. The PowerFlex 700 AC drive offers application-specific features and parameters for lifting, oil wells, and speed and positioning applications. Available packaged drives provide additional control, power, and enclosure options in standardized designs. The PowerFlex 700 Fan and Pump packaged drive is a cost-effective solution for speed control in variable torque fan and pump applications.
