The 20G11BD2K0AN0NNNNN is positioned at the very high end of the PowerFlex 755 power range.
Its approximately 2,070 A current rating is the most important characteristic when evaluating the model.
This current capacity allows the drive to control extremely large AC motors that would be far beyond the normal range of compact and medium-size variable-frequency drives.
The drive is particularly appropriate when the motor system requires:
For a large industrial facility, this type of drive is normally treated as a major electrical system rather than simply another control component.
The drive is designed for 480 VAC three-phase power.
480 VAC is widely used in industrial electrical systems, particularly in North American industrial plants and large manufacturing facilities.
The 480 VAC supply is converted and controlled by the drive’s power section before being delivered to the motor.
Because the drive operates at approximately 2,070 A, the incoming electrical system must be engineered for very high current.
Important considerations include:
The approximately 2,070 A rating makes the 20G11BD2K0AN0NNNNN a very large industrial drive.
At this current level, the drive is intended for motors and machinery that consume substantial electrical power.
The high current capacity is useful for applications such as:
The model has three primary duty ratings.
| Duty Rating | Horsepower | Approx. Mechanical Power |
|---|---|---|
| Light Duty | 2,000 HP | 1,492 kW |
| Normal Duty | 1,750 HP | 1,306 kW |
| Heavy Duty | 1,650 HP | 1,231 kW |
The horsepower values represent different application duty conditions.
The actual motor selection should be based primarily on the motor’s rated current and the application load profile.
Horsepower is useful for comparison, but current, overload requirements, acceleration requirements and duty cycle are more important when selecting a large industrial drive.
The 2,000 HP Light Duty rating is the highest horsepower rating listed for this model.
Light Duty is generally appropriate for applications where the motor load is relatively stable and the overload requirement is not particularly demanding.
Typical examples can include large:
The main objective is usually continuous speed regulation rather than severe torque overload.
The 1,750 HP Normal Duty rating provides a substantial amount of available power for general industrial applications.
This rating can be relevant to:
Normal Duty provides a useful balance between motor power and operating margin for many industrial applications.
The 1,650 HP Heavy Duty rating is particularly important for demanding mechanical systems.
Heavy-duty applications can involve:
Mining conveyors and large material-handling systems are examples where Heavy Duty selection may become particularly important.
The lower horsepower rating under Heavy Duty operation provides additional operating capability for demanding load conditions.
The horsepower ratings can be converted approximately using:
1 HP ≈ 0.746 kW
| Duty | Horsepower | Approx. kW |
|---|---|---|
| Light Duty | 2,000 HP | 1,492 kW |
| Normal Duty | 1,750 HP | 1,306 kW |
| Heavy Duty | 1,650 HP | 1,231 kW |
These are approximate mechanical-power equivalents.
Actual electrical input power will depend on motor efficiency, drive efficiency, power factor, operating speed and load.
The PowerFlex 755 series is designed for industrial applications where motor control, process flexibility and system integration are important.
A conventional motor starter generally provides basic starting and stopping.
A variable-frequency drive provides substantially more control.
The motor can operate at different speeds according to process requirements.
Acceleration can be controlled.
Deceleration can be controlled.
Motor operating conditions can be monitored.
The drive can also exchange information with a plant automation system.
For a megawatt-class motor, these capabilities can have a major impact on equipment operation and process stability.
The general operating process can be understood as:

Industrial Process
The drive controls the electrical energy delivered to the motor.
By changing the output frequency and voltage according to the selected motor-control strategy, the drive can regulate motor speed and torque.
This allows the motor to respond to changing process requirements instead of operating continuously at one fixed speed.
Variable-speed operation is one of the major reasons to select a PowerFlex 755 drive.
A motor does not necessarily need to run at full speed all the time.
For example, a large pump may only need 70% of its maximum flow.
A large fan may only require 60% airflow.
A conveyor may need to operate at different production speeds.
A process blower may need to respond to pressure changes.
Instead of running the motor at full speed continuously, the drive can adjust motor speed to match the process requirement.
Starting very large motors can produce significant mechanical and electrical stress.
A large motor can be connected to:
The drive allows the motor to accelerate according to a defined acceleration profile.
This can reduce sudden mechanical shock and make the startup process more predictable.
Stopping large rotating equipment can also be challenging.
Large rotating machinery stores substantial kinetic energy.
If the equipment is stopped too quickly, mechanical stress can increase.
Controlled deceleration provides a more gradual reduction in speed.
This is useful for:
Torque control becomes particularly important for large industrial machinery.
A conveyor loaded with material may require high torque during acceleration.
A mining machine may encounter sudden changes in mechanical resistance.
A large pump may have significant starting requirements.
The drive can manage motor torque according to the selected control strategy and application requirements.
This allows the electrical system and mechanical system to work together more smoothly.
The drive can be integrated into a process-control strategy where motor speed follows an external reference.
For example:

Process Equipment
This arrangement is useful for automated pumping, ventilation, conveying and material-handling systems.
Large PowerFlex installations are frequently integrated with plant automation.
A typical system may include:
The drive can provide information such as:
This information can help operators and maintenance personnel understand the operating condition of the motor system.
Mining is one of the strongest application areas for a drive of this size.
Large mining operations use high-power motors for:
The mechanical loads in mining are often severe.
Equipment may need to start with material already loaded.
This makes controlled acceleration and high torque capability particularly valuable.
A large mining conveyor can contain a substantial amount of mechanical inertia.
The system may include:
All of these components influence starting requirements.
A high-power variable-frequency drive can gradually increase motor speed rather than applying full speed immediately.
This can help reduce:
Cement plants contain numerous high-power motor systems.
The 20G11BD2K0AN0NNNNN can be considered for applications such as:
Fans and blowers can benefit from variable-speed control because process airflow requirements can change during production.
Steel and metals processing plants often use large motors for continuous processes.
Potential applications include:
In these environments, reliability and predictable motor operation are particularly important.
A variable-frequency drive can provide more control than a simple fixed-speed motor starter.
Large water-transfer and wastewater facilities can use very large pumping motors.
Potential applications include:
Variable-speed operation can help match pump output to changing system demand.
Large centrifugal pumps are often excellent candidates for variable-speed drives.
Instead of continuously operating the motor at full speed, the drive can adjust speed according to the required flow or pressure.
Potential benefits include:
The actual energy savings depend on pump characteristics and the operating profile of the installation.
Industrial fans can operate continuously for many hours.
If full airflow is not always required, reducing motor speed can be an efficient way to regulate airflow.
Typical applications include:
The drive allows fan speed to follow actual process demand.
Large industrial blowers are used in many process applications.
Examples include:
Variable-speed operation allows the blower to respond to changing pressure and flow requirements.
Large material-handling systems can contain substantial mechanical inertia.
The drive can provide controlled motor speed and acceleration.
Potential applications include:
Controlled acceleration can be particularly useful when the conveyor is loaded.
The approximately 2,070 A current rating is the primary advantage.
It allows the drive to operate large motors that are beyond the capacity of standard compact drives.
The 2,000 HP Light Duty rating places the drive in the megawatt-class motor-control category.
Motor speed can be adjusted according to actual process requirements.
Large machines can start gradually, helping reduce mechanical shock.
Large rotating equipment can be stopped according to a defined speed profile.
The PowerFlex 755 platform is suitable for integration into sophisticated plant automation systems.
The air-cooled configuration eliminates the need for a dedicated liquid-cooling circuit.
Frame 10 construction is suitable for large electrical-room and MCC-style installations.
The drive is well suited to mining, cement, metals, water, material handling and other demanding industrial environments.
The specified model configuration includes an EMC filter.
EMC considerations become important in large drive installations.
The filter should be considered together with:
A properly designed installation is necessary to achieve good electromagnetic performance.
The catalog configuration is specified as having no dynamic braking.
This is an important point when evaluating applications involving high-inertia loads.
If rapid stopping is required, the complete braking strategy should be evaluated.
Possible considerations include:
The absence of integrated dynamic braking does not prevent the drive from being used in demanding applications, but the stopping strategy must be designed appropriately.
The specified configuration is Blank / No HIM.
This means the catalog configuration does not include a local Human Interface Module.
This can be appropriate for large centralized industrial installations where operators interact with the drive through:
The drive uses Frame 10 construction.
It is associated with a 600 mm-deep MCC-style package.
This is considerably different from a small wall-mounted inverter.
The installation therefore requires planning for:
The confirmed package depth for this configuration is approximately 600 mm.
The exact overall height and width can depend on the final packaged configuration.
Therefore, an exact H × W × D figure should not be invented without the final mechanical drawing.
| Mechanical Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | 20G11BD2K0AN0NNNNN |
| Frame | Frame 10 |
| Package Style | MCC Style |
| Depth | 600 mm |
| Width | Configuration dependent |
| Height | Configuration dependent |
| Cooling | Air Cooled |
| Installation | Floor / MCC / Electrical Room |
| Cable Access | Required |
| Maintenance Access | Required |
| Ventilation | Required |
| Lifting Access | Required |
| Floor Loading | Must be evaluated |
For actual installation, the final mechanical drawing should be used to determine the complete dimensional envelope.
The 20G11BD2K0AN0NNNNN is a very large industrial drive.
Because of its Frame 10 construction and approximately 2,070 A current capacity, the complete packaged assembly should be considered heavy industrial equipment.
For preliminary planning purposes, the equipment can be treated as approximately 1,000 kg class.
The exact net weight and shipping weight can vary according to the final configuration and packaging.
| Weight Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | 20G11BD2K0AN0NNNNN |
| Approx. Equipment Weight | 1,000 kg class |
| Exact Net Weight | Configuration dependent |
| Shipping Weight | Higher than net equipment weight |
| Floor Loading | Must be checked |
| Lifting | Heavy-duty lifting equipment required |
| Transportation | Heavy-equipment handling required |
| Installation | Industrial floor installation |
The 1,000 kg-class value should be regarded as a preliminary planning figure, not a certified lifting or shipping weight.
The drive is air cooled.
At a current rating of approximately 2,070 A, the power electronics can generate substantial heat.
Adequate airflow is therefore essential.
The electrical installation should provide sufficient ventilation and heat removal.
Regular maintenance should include inspection of:
Poor airflow can increase thermal stress and reduce the operating margin of power electronics.
A 2,070 A drive requires careful electrical engineering.
| Installation Area | Main Consideration |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage | 480 VAC |
| Input Phase | 3 Phase |
| Drive Current | 2,070 A |
| Main Disconnect | Properly rated |
| Protection | Properly coordinated |
| Busbar | High-current design |
| Incoming Conductors | High-current sizing |
| Motor Conductors | High-current sizing |
| Grounding | Proper industrial grounding |
| EMC | System-level design |
| Cooling | High priority |
| Heat Dissipation | Must be calculated |
| Cabinet Space | Large |
| Service Clearance | Large |
| Floor Loading | Must be evaluated |
| Lifting | Heavy-duty handling |
At this current level, connection quality is extremely important.
Busbars, terminals, cables and mechanical connections must be correctly sized and installed.
Variable-speed control can provide energy-saving opportunities in suitable applications.
This is particularly relevant to centrifugal pumps and fans.
When the process demand decreases, motor speed can be reduced.
For example, a large fan operating at a lower required airflow does not necessarily need to run continuously at full speed.
Likewise, a pump operating at reduced flow may be able to operate at a lower speed.
Potential benefits include:
Actual energy savings must be calculated from the specific machine and operating conditions.
A drive of this size should be included in a planned maintenance program.
| Maintenance Area | Recommended Attention |
|---|---|
| Cooling Fans | Inspect operation and noise |
| Airflow | Keep passages clear |
| Cabinet | Inspect dust accumulation |
| Power Connections | Inspect for heat and looseness |
| Grounding | Verify grounding |
| Motor Cables | Inspect connections and insulation |
| Control Wiring | Check connections |
| Communication | Monitor network condition |
| Fault History | Review regularly |
| Temperature | Monitor abnormal conditions |
| Environment | Check heat, dust and moisture |
| Mechanical Condition | Inspect vibration and cabinet condition |
For an air-cooled high-power drive, maintaining clean cooling passages is especially important.

A drive of this size requires significantly more planning than a compact VFD.
The installation area should provide enough space for:
The 600 mm package depth should therefore not be interpreted as the total required installation depth.
Additional clearance is required around the equipment.
The approximate 1,000 kg-class weight has implications for installation.
The site should consider:
Moving a megawatt-class packaged drive should be treated as a heavy-equipment operation.
Large electrical drives produce heat during operation.
The heat generated depends on:
For this reason, the electrical room should be designed with adequate ventilation and heat removal.
The cooling system should also be maintained throughout the operating life of the equipment.
Before installing the drive, the operating environment should be evaluated.
Important factors include:
Mining and cement environments may contain substantial dust.
Steel plants may have heat and airborne contaminants.
Water-treatment environments may have humidity and corrosive conditions.
The drive enclosure and installation environment should therefore be matched to the actual site conditions.
A large pump installation may need to operate at different flow rates throughout the day.
Running a motor continuously at full speed can create unnecessary energy consumption when process demand is low.
With variable-speed control, the motor speed can be adjusted.
This can provide:
For very large pumps, these benefits can have a substantial effect on overall plant operating costs.
Large industrial fans often operate continuously.
Process requirements can change depending on:
Variable-speed operation allows fan performance to follow demand.
This can be particularly useful in cement plants, mining operations, steel plants and industrial ventilation systems.
Conveyor systems can experience severe mechanical stress during starting.
The problem becomes more significant as the conveyor becomes longer and heavier.
A conveyor may contain:
Controlled acceleration can help distribute the starting torque more smoothly.
This is one of the most important reasons high-power drives are used on large conveyors.
Mining equipment often operates under demanding conditions.
The machinery can experience:
A high-power industrial drive can provide controlled motor operation while integrating with the plant automation system.
Cement production requires many large motors.
Fans, blowers, conveyors and pumps can operate continuously.
Variable-speed control can provide better control over process conditions.
The high current capability of the 20G11BD2K0AN0NNNNN makes it suitable for the largest motor systems in a cement plant, assuming the actual motor current and duty requirements match the drive.
Steel plants typically place strong demands on electrical equipment.
Large motors may operate for long periods and can be connected to important production processes.
The drive can be considered for:
Its high current rating provides the capacity required by very large motors.

The 20G11BD2K0AN0NNNNN has several characteristics that make it particularly suitable for large industrial installations.
The first is its 2,070 A current rating.
The second is its 2,000 HP Light Duty rating, which places it firmly in the megawatt-class motor-control category.
The third is its Frame 10 air-cooled construction, which is designed for large industrial electrical installations.
The fourth is the ability to provide variable-speed motor control rather than simple fixed-speed operation.
The fifth is its suitability for integration with a larger industrial automation system.
The sixth is its broad application range.
The same general drive platform can be used for pumps, fans, blowers, conveyors and other large motor-driven equipment.
The 20G11BD2K0AN0NNNNN is best understood as a very-high-power industrial variable-frequency drive for megawatt-class AC motors.
It is not intended for small machines.
It is not intended for ordinary light-duty factory equipment.
It is intended for applications where the motor itself can be hundreds of kilowatts or more than one megawatt in size.
Its approximately 2,070 A current rating, 2,000 HP Light Duty rating, 1,750 HP Normal Duty rating and 1,650 HP Heavy Duty rating provide a large operating range.
The 480 VAC three-phase input makes it suitable for large industrial power systems.
The Frame 10 / 600 mm-deep MCC-style construction is appropriate for centralized industrial electrical installations.
The air-cooled design simplifies the cooling architecture compared with a liquid-cooled system, although substantial ventilation and thermal management are still required.
The model is particularly strong for large pumps, large fans, blowers, mining conveyors, cement equipment, steel-process equipment, water infrastructure and heavy material-handling systems.
