Allen-Bradley 1336F-BRF200-AA-EN A Adjustable Frequency AC Drive

Technical Specifications

Main Features and Advantages

Advanced Motor Control Performance: The Allen-Bradley 1336F-BRF200-AA-EN A​ is built around sophisticated control algorithms. Its Flux Vector Control capability, even without a feedback encoder (sensorless vector), provides exceptional low-speed torque performance, precise speed regulation, and fast dynamic response. This makes it ideal for applications requiring high starting torque or control of rapidly changing loads. The drive also offers standard Volts/Hertz (V/Hz) control for simpler applications. Features like adjustable acceleration/deceleration ramps (linear, S-curve), current limiting, and programmable skip frequencies prevent the motor from operating at resonant speeds, protecting mechanical systems. The high overload capacity of the 1336F-BRF200-AA-EN A​ ensures it can handle demanding start-up conditions and temporary load surges without nuisance tripping, maximizing process uptime.Enhanced Reliability and Integrated Protection: The “Force Technology” design philosophy prioritizes durability. The drive incorporates a robust, conservative power stage design with high-quality insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and advanced gate drive circuitry. It features comprehensive protective functions that safeguard both the drive and the connected motor. These include protection against short circuits, ground faults, overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, and overheating. The drive’s self-diagnostics continuously monitor its status, providing early warning of potential issues. The modular design, including optional add-on communication cards (like the 1336-GM module for Remote I/O or Data Highway), allows for flexible integration into Allen-Bradley control architectures. This combination of robust hardware and intelligent software in the Allen-Bradley 1336F-BRF200-AA-EN A​ translates into a highly reliable drive solution with minimized unscheduled downtime.

Application Field

The Allen-Bradley 1336F-BRF200-AA-EN A​ 200 HP drive is deployed in heavy industrial applications requiring precise and reliable control of large motors. A primary application is in Fluid Handling systems across various industries. In Water and Wastewater Treatment, it is used to control the speed of large raw water intake pumps, transfer pumps, and aeration blowers. The ability to adjust pump speed to match demand, rather than throttling flow with a valve, results in massive energy savings. In the Oil & Gas and Chemical sectors, the 1336F-BRF200-AA-EN A drive​ controls large centrifugal pumps for pipeline transfer, refinery process circulation, and chemical injection, as well as fans for cooling towers and ventilation.In Heavy Manufacturing, such as Metal Production and Mining, this drive is found on high-power applications like induced-draft fans for furnaces, conveyor systems for bulk material handling, and large machine tool spindles. Its robust construction and high overload capability are essential in these harsh environments with variable loads. For HVAC systems in Large Commercial Buildings, Hospitals, and Data Centers, the drive is used to control the speed of chillers, large cooling tower fans, and building air handling units, optimizing climate control and reducing electrical consumption. The Allen-Bradley 1336F-BRF200-AA-EN A​ is also a workhorse in the Pulp & Paper industry for controlling refiners, pumps, and winders, where its precise speed control is critical for product quality and process consistency.
