Allen-Bradley 20G11RD3P4AA0NNNNN PowerFlex 755 AC Drive

1. Product Overview

The 20G11RD3P4AA0NNNNN is an industrial AC variable frequency drive from the PowerFlex 755 series.

It is designed for three-phase AC motor speed control in industrial automation systems where stable motor operation, adjustable speed, network communication, controlled acceleration and deceleration, and advanced drive functions are required.

This model is a 480 VAC, three-phase, 3.4 A drive with a 2 HP normal-duty rating and a 1.5 HP heavy-duty rating when used in the Frame 1 configuration.

The drive uses an IP20 open-type Frame 1 enclosure, air cooling, integrated EtherNet/IP communication, an internal dynamic-braking transistor, EMC filtering, DC terminals, and a blank configuration without a local HIM keypad.

Because of its relatively compact Frame 1 construction, the drive is suitable for smaller industrial machines where the motor rating is modest but the control system requires more advanced functionality than a basic variable-speed drive.

The product is particularly appropriate for conveyors, pumps, fans, feeders, packaging equipment, material-handling machines, process machinery and other automated equipment using small three-phase motors.

5. Electrical Characteristics

The drive is designed for a 380–480 VAC class three-phase power supply, with a nominal voltage class of 480 VAC.

Its continuous output current is approximately 3.4 A.

The normal-duty rating is approximately 2 HP, equivalent to approximately 1.5 kW.

For heavy-duty operation, the rating is approximately 1.5 HP, or approximately 1.1 kW.

The difference between normal-duty and heavy-duty ratings is important when selecting the drive for a real machine.

A motor should not be selected only according to horsepower.

The motor’s actual full-load current, operating cycle, acceleration requirements, mechanical load and overload requirements should also be considered.


6. Current Rating

The basic current characteristics can be summarized as follows.

Current Characteristic Approximate Value
Continuous output current 3.4 A
1-minute overload current Approx. 3.7 A
3-second overload current Approx. 5.1 A
Normal-duty motor rating 2 HP
Heavy-duty motor rating 1.5 HP

The 3.4 A continuous rating makes the drive suitable for a wide range of smaller industrial motors.

For proper engineering selection, the motor nameplate current should be compared with the drive’s applicable current rating.


7. Normal-Duty Rating

The normal-duty rating is approximately:

2 HP / 1.5 kW

Normal-duty operation is appropriate for applications where the motor does not continuously operate under severe overload conditions.

Typical examples include:

  • Small conveyors
  • Small fans
  • Light-duty pumps
  • Rollers
  • Feed mechanisms
  • Packaging equipment
  • Small material-handling systems
  • Auxiliary machinery
  • Light process equipment

The 2 HP normal-duty rating gives the drive a useful capacity for compact industrial machines.


8. Heavy-Duty Rating

The heavy-duty rating is approximately:

1.5 HP / 1.1 kW

Heavy-duty operation is generally associated with applications involving higher torque demand, frequent acceleration and deceleration, or more demanding overload conditions.

Potential applications include:

  • Higher-inertia conveyors
  • Frequent start/stop machines
  • Material-handling mechanisms
  • Feed systems
  • Machinery with repeated acceleration
  • Equipment requiring controlled deceleration

The heavy-duty rating should always be evaluated together with the actual motor current and load profile.


9. Physical Dimensions and Weight

The drive is a Frame 1 product.

Its approximate physical dimensions are:

400 mm high × 190 mm wide × 211.1 mm deep

The approximate product weight is:

6 kg

These dimensions are the drive’s approximate physical envelope and should not be treated as the total cabinet space required.

Additional cabinet space should be allowed for:

  • Power cables
  • Motor cables
  • Control wiring
  • Network cables
  • Grounding
  • Ventilation
  • Maintenance
  • Terminal access

10. IP20 Open-Type Construction

The drive uses an IP20 open-type enclosure.

This construction is intended for installation inside a suitable electrical cabinet or protected enclosure.

It is not intended to be treated as a standalone weatherproof product.

The installation should protect the drive from:

  • Water
  • Excessive dust
  • Conductive contamination
  • Corrosive chemicals
  • Excessive humidity
  • Mechanical damage
  • Uncontrolled temperature
  • Foreign objects

A properly designed cabinet should also provide sufficient ventilation.


11. Embedded EtherNet/IP

One of the major advantages of this model is its embedded EtherNet/IP communication capability.

The drive can be integrated into an industrial automation network and controlled by a central controller.

The controller can typically exchange information such as:

Controller to Drive Drive to Controller
Start command Running status
Stop command Actual speed
Speed reference Output current
Direction command Drive status
Reset command Warning status
Control reference Fault status
Operating parameters Diagnostic information

This can significantly reduce the amount of hardwired control wiring required in an automated machine.


12. No-HIM Configuration

The 20G11RD3P4AA0NNNNN is configured without a local HIM.

HIM means Human Interface Module.

This configuration is useful when the drive is intended to be controlled remotely through:

  • PLC
  • EtherNet/IP
  • Remote HMI
  • Supervisory control system
  • Machine control software
  • Central operator station

The no-HIM configuration can also be useful when the drive is installed inside a control cabinet and local keypad operation is not required.


13. Dynamic-Braking Transistor

The drive includes a dynamic-braking transistor.

Dynamic braking is useful when the motor needs to decelerate more quickly or more predictably than simple coast-to-stop operation.

During deceleration, the motor can return energy to the drive’s DC bus.

A suitable braking resistor can dissipate this energy.

This function can be useful in:

  • Conveyors
  • Rollers
  • Feed mechanisms
  • Material-handling systems
  • High-inertia loads
  • Machines with frequent stopping
  • Applications requiring controlled deceleration

The braking resistor must be selected according to the machine’s actual inertia, braking frequency and braking time.


14. EMC Filtering

The model includes EMC filtering.

This helps control electromagnetic interference generated by the drive and motor system.

EMC considerations become particularly important when the control cabinet contains:

  • PLCs
  • Network equipment
  • Sensors
  • Measurement devices
  • Other drives
  • Communication modules
  • Sensitive electronic equipment

Correct grounding, motor-cable routing and shielding remain important even when filtering is included.


15. PID Control

The PowerFlex 755 platform supports PID control.

PID control can automatically adjust motor speed according to a process feedback signal.

For example, in a small pumping system:

Pressure below target → motor speed increases

Pressure reaches target → motor speed stabilizes

Pressure above target → motor speed decreases

This makes the drive useful for:

  • Pressure control
  • Flow control
  • Ventilation
  • Circulation
  • Process control
  • Pumping applications

16. Product Applications

16.1 Conveyor Systems

The drive is well suited to smaller industrial conveyor systems.

It can provide:

  • Variable speed
  • Controlled acceleration
  • Controlled deceleration
  • Start/stop control
  • Direction control
  • Network control
  • Fault monitoring

A conveyor can therefore operate at different speeds depending on production requirements.


16.2 Pump Systems

The drive can be used with small industrial pumps.

Typical applications include:

  • Water circulation
  • Cooling systems
  • Process-fluid circulation
  • Transfer pumps
  • Pressure systems

PID functionality can be particularly useful when pressure or flow feedback is available.


16.3 Fan and Blower Systems

Small fans and blowers can benefit from adjustable motor speed.

Applications can include:

  • Machine ventilation
  • Equipment cooling
  • Cabinet cooling
  • Small exhaust systems
  • Process air

Variable-speed control allows the machine to provide only the airflow required by the process.


16.4 Packaging Equipment

The drive can be used for smaller packaging machines.

Possible functions include:

  • Product feed
  • Rollers
  • Small conveyors
  • Material transfer
  • Feed mechanisms
  • Auxiliary rotating equipment

The network interface can allow the drive to coordinate with the rest of the packaging machine.


16.5 Material Handling

The drive can control small material-handling mechanisms.

Examples include:

  • Rollers
  • Transfer conveyors
  • Feeders
  • Small lifting mechanisms
  • Product-handling systems

Controlled acceleration and deceleration can help reduce mechanical shock.


16.6 Feeders

Feed systems frequently require adjustable speed.

The drive can receive a speed reference from the main controller and adjust the motor speed according to production requirements.

This can be useful for:

  • Product feeders
  • Material feeders
  • Packaging feeders
  • Process feeders
  • Transfer mechanisms

17. Main Product Advantages

17.1 2 HP Normal-Duty Capacity

The 2 HP normal-duty rating provides a useful capacity range for small industrial motors.

It can cover many applications that are too demanding for very small compact drives while remaining physically compact.


17.2 3.4 A Continuous Output

The 3.4 A output rating provides a suitable current capacity for many small three-phase motors.

It also gives the machine designer a greater margin than a very low-current drive.


17.3 Advanced PowerFlex 755 Platform

The main advantage is not simply the horsepower rating.

The drive combines a relatively small motor capacity with advanced industrial functions.

These include:

  • Network communication
  • Diagnostics
  • PID control
  • Dynamic braking
  • Flexible configuration
  • Optional functionality
  • Centralized control

17.4 Embedded EtherNet/IP

The built-in network interface makes the drive suitable for modern automated equipment.

It can reduce hardwired control requirements and make operating data easier to access.


17.5 Dynamic Braking

The internal braking transistor provides additional flexibility for machines that need controlled deceleration.


17.6 Compact Frame 1 Design

The Frame 1 package provides a relatively compact solution for a 2 HP class drive.

This is beneficial when panel space is limited.


17.7 PID Functionality

PID capability expands the drive beyond simple motor speed control.

It can be used for pressure, flow and process-related applications.


17.8 EMC Filtering

Integrated filtering helps support cleaner electrical operation in industrial control environments.


17.9 No-HIM Architecture

24. Why Choose the 20G11RD3P4AA0NNNNN Instead of a Smaller Drive?

The primary reason to select the 20G11RD3P4AA0NNNNN is not simply the 2 HP motor rating.

The PowerFlex 755 platform offers a broader set of industrial control capabilities.

For example, a machine may require:

  • Advanced motor control
  • EtherNet/IP communication
  • Remote diagnostics
  • Dynamic braking
  • PID functionality
  • Additional control options
  • Centralized PLC operation
  • Safety-related functions
  • Flexible parameter configuration
  • Industrial network integration

In such situations, a more basic compact drive may not provide the same level of flexibility.


25. Conveyor Application Example

A typical small conveyor can be arranged as:

PLC → EtherNet/IP → 20G11RD3P4AA0NNNNN → Three-Phase Motor → Conveyor

The PLC can provide the speed command and start/stop instruction.

The drive controls motor acceleration and deceleration.

The drive can then return operating information to the controller.

Typical information includes:

  • Actual motor speed
  • Current
  • Drive status
  • Warning information
  • Fault information
  • Operating condition

This arrangement is suitable for automated production lines.


26. Pump Application Example

For a small pump, the drive can operate according to a pressure or flow reference.

A typical sequence is:

Pressure decreases → feedback changes → drive increases motor speed

Pressure reaches target → drive maintains speed

Pressure increases → drive reduces motor speed

This provides more flexible operation than simply switching a fixed-speed motor on and off.

The same concept can be applied to:

  • Water circulation
  • Cooling
  • Process flow
  • Small pressure systems
  • Auxiliary pumping

27. Fan Application Example

A fan driven by the 20G11RD3P4AA0NNNNN can operate at a variable speed.

For example:

Low cooling demand → low motor speed

Medium cooling demand → medium motor speed

High cooling demand → high motor speed

This gives the machine more flexibility in managing airflow.

It can also simplify centralized control when multiple auxiliary motors are integrated into a single automation system.


28. Packaging Application Example

A packaging machine may require different motor speeds during different stages of operation.

For example:

Loading → low speed

Transport → medium speed

Positioning → controlled low speed

Stopping → controlled deceleration

The drive can provide the required speed changes while the main controller manages the production sequence.


29. Material-Handling Application Example

Material-handling equipment often benefits from controlled acceleration.

Instead of immediately applying full motor speed, the drive can accelerate the motor progressively.

This can help reduce:

  • Mechanical shock
  • Belt stress
  • Coupling stress
  • Sudden product movement
  • Excessive starting current

Dynamic braking can also be useful where the load needs to stop quickly.


30. Cabinet and Installation Considerations

Because the enclosure is IP20 open type, the drive should generally be installed in a suitable electrical cabinet.

The approximate drive dimensions are:

400 mm × 190 mm × 211.1 mm

The cabinet should provide more space than the physical dimensions of the drive.

A practical cabinet design should consider:

  • Top clearance
  • Bottom clearance
  • Side clearance
  • Cable bending radius
  • Air circulation
  • Heat dissipation
  • Terminal access
  • Maintenance access
  • Network cable routing
  • Grounding

The actual installation should follow the applicable drive installation requirements.


31. Thermal Management

The drive is air cooled.

Heat generated by the power electronics must be removed from the enclosure.

Important considerations include:

  • Cabinet temperature
  • Fan operation
  • Airflow
  • Heat generated by adjacent devices
  • Dust accumulation
  • Cabinet ventilation

If several drives are installed in the same cabinet, their combined heat output should be considered.


32. Maintenance

Regular maintenance can improve long-term reliability.

Maintenance Area Recommended Check
Cooling fan Check operation and noise
Air passages Check for blockage
Cabinet Remove excessive dust
Power terminals Check connection condition
Motor cables Check insulation and connections
Grounding Verify grounding integrity
Network cables Check physical condition
Drive temperature Look for abnormal heating
Fault history Review repeated faults
Motor current Check for unusual increases
Braking system Check when braking is frequently used
Ventilation Verify adequate airflow

33. Troubleshooting Guide

Problem Possible Areas to Check
Motor will not start Drive enable, start command and fault status
Drive trips during acceleration Acceleration time and mechanical load
Overcurrent Motor current, load and acceleration
Overvoltage Deceleration time and braking requirements
Motor overheating Motor load and ventilation
Drive overheating Cabinet airflow and temperature
Incorrect speed Speed reference and drive parameters
Network communication loss Ethernet cable and network configuration
Unexpected stop Fault history and control commands
Process instability PID parameters and feedback
Excessive mechanical vibration Motor, coupling and machine mechanics
Repeated faults Motor condition, load condition and drive settings

39. Final Product Assessment

The 20G11RD3P4AA0NNNNN is a PowerFlex 755, 480 VAC, three-phase AC variable frequency drive with a 3.4 A continuous output rating and a 2 HP normal-duty rating.

Its approximately 1.5 HP heavy-duty rating makes it suitable for moderately demanding small-motor applications, while the Frame 1 mechanical design keeps the package relatively compact.

The integrated EtherNet/IP interface is one of its most important advantages for automated machinery. It allows the drive to operate as part of a networked control system rather than as an isolated motor controller.

The internal dynamic-braking transistor provides additional flexibility for applications requiring controlled deceleration.

The integrated EMC filtering, PID capability, DC terminals, and advanced drive architecture further expand its application range.

With approximate dimensions of 400 × 190 × 211.1 mm and an approximate weight of 6 kg, it is well suited to cabinet-based industrial installations where space, communication and control functionality all need to be considered.

For a motor around 2 HP, this model is a particularly appropriate PowerFlex 755 configuration.

For smaller motors, 20G11RD2P1AA0NNNNN can be considered.

For a directly related configuration with the same 3.4 A current class, 20G11RD3P4JA0NNNNN can be considered.

For larger motors, 20G11RD5P0AA0NNNNN, 20G11RD8P0AA0NNNNN, and 20G11RD011AA0NNNNN provide progressively higher current and horsepower capabilities.

For simpler and more compact machinery, the PowerFlex 525 or PowerFlex 523 related models can be considered when the advanced PowerFlex 755 architecture is not required.

Overall, the 20G11RD3P4AA0NNNNN is best suited to small and medium-duty industrial automation equipment that requires reliable variable-speed motor control, network communication, controlled acceleration and deceleration, process-control capability, braking functionality and centralized machine diagnostics.
