Important Technical Notes

1. Input Voltage:​ Verify input power matches 380-480V AC, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz. The drive auto-ranges within this voltage range.

2. Motor Compatibility:​ Designed for standard 3-phase AC induction motors. Verify motor specifications match drive ratings, especially for high-inertia loads.

3. Enclosure Requirements:​ This is a chassis unit requiring installation in a suitable enclosure to achieve IP20/NEMA 1 rating and proper thermal management.

4. Braking Requirements:​ Standard braking capability is 150% of rated torque. For applications requiring frequent stopping or high-inertia loads, an external dynamic braking resistor is required.

5. Thermal Management:​ Ensure adequate ventilation and ambient temperature does not exceed 50°C. Derate output current 1.5%/°C above 40°C ambient.

6. Wiring:​ Use proper wire sizing according to NEC/IEC standards. Follow manufacturer's guidelines for power, control, and grounding connections.

7. Motor Protection:​ The drive provides electronic motor overload protection. Additional line protection (circuit breakers, fuses) is required as per electrical codes.

8. EMC Compliance:​ Install in metallic enclosure and use proper cable routing to meet EMC requirements. Shielded motor cables are recommended for long cable runs.

9. Programming:​ Complete motor setup and auto-tuning procedure for optimal performance. Document parameter settings for future maintenance and troubleshooting.

Note: For complete installation guidelines, wiring diagrams, programming instructions, and detailed technical data, consult the official Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 400 User Manual. Always verify the exact model number configuration with the manufacturer, as notation variations may occur.
