Order now the 20BC8P7A0AYNANC0, a compact and precise 8.7 Amp PowerFlex 70 drive designed for 4.0kW industrial motor control and energy efficiency.
What Is the 20BC8P7A0AYNANC0?
The 20BC8P7A0AYNANC0 is a versatile Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) from the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 70 series, optimized for 400V/480V three-phase systems. Providing a continuous output of 8.7 Amps, this drive is designed to power motors up to 4.0 kW (5.0 HP). It is part of Rockwell Automation’s compact drive range, offering high-end features like Sensorless Vector Control and Volts per Hertz regulation in a space-saving IP20 enclosure. This specific model features a blank cover (no HIM), making it perfect for automated machine cells where parameter management is handled via the network or through the Connected Components Workbench software suite.

System Performance and Integration
The 20BC8P7A0AYNANC0 integrates seamlessly into the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture through its DPI port. It supports «Premier Integration,» allowing the drive’s parameters to be part of the Studio 5000 Logix Designer project. This ensures that the drive’s configuration is backed up in the PLC, facilitating rapid replacement and commissioning. Its internal architecture is designed for durability, featuring long-life capacitors and a robust thermal management system that allows for Zero-Stacking™ mounting, significantly reducing the width required in multi-drive control panels.
Installation Advice
When installing the 20BC8P7A0AYNANC0, ensure that the drive is mounted in a vertical orientation. For 4.0kW applications, we recommend the use of an output reactor if the motor cable length exceeds 30 meters to protect the motor insulation from reflected wave voltage. Furthermore, because this model is an IP20 unit, ensure it is installed in a clean, dry environment within an enclosure that provides adequate protection against conductive dust or moisture, which can bridge internal components and cause catastrophic failure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 20BC8P7A0AYNANC0 include a built-in RFI/EMC filter?
A: No, the ‘0’ in the part number indicates no internal filter. If your application must comply with CE or other strict EMI standards, an external filter should be installed.
Q: Can I use this drive for a 2.2 kW motor?
A: Yes, the 8.7A rating provides an excellent safety margin for 2.2 kW motors, allowing the drive to run cooler and provide better overload capacity during heavy starts.
