The 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN is a high-power industrial AC variable frequency drive from the PowerFlex 753 series.
It is designed for large three-phase AC motor applications where high motor power, reliable speed regulation, industrial environmental protection, and flexible control are required.
This particular configuration is rated for 690 VAC, three-phase operation and provides a continuous output-current rating of 142 A.
Its approximate motor rating is 132 kW for Normal Duty and 110 kW for Heavy Duty.
The drive uses a Frame 6 construction with a Type 12 / IP54 enclosure and an air-cooled design.
Unlike some related configurations that include dynamic braking, the 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN does not include an internal dynamic-braking transistor.
The model uses AC input with precharge and no DC terminals.
It also has a filtered configuration with the common-mode capacitor jumper installed, making the configuration particularly relevant to installations where filtering and common-mode considerations are part of the drive-system design.
The drive is supplied as a blank / no-HIM configuration, which means the installation does not depend on a permanently installed local operator keypad for basic operation.
This type of configuration is especially useful when the drive is integrated into a larger industrial automation system.

The physical dimensions of the drive are approximately 1298.3 mm high × 609.4 mm wide × 464.7 mm deep.
The approximate weight is 100 kg.
These dimensions make the product a substantial industrial drive, although it remains considerably more compact than some larger Frame 7 configurations.
The 100 kg weight should be considered when designing the mounting structure, transportation method, cabinet, lifting arrangement, and maintenance access.

The 142 A output rating is the primary electrical characteristic of this model.
The 132 kW Normal Duty rating makes it appropriate for large industrial motor applications.
The Heavy Duty rating is lower at 110 kW, which is important when the driven machinery has a demanding torque profile or frequent overload conditions.
Motor selection should therefore be based on the actual motor nameplate current and the application’s duty requirements rather than simply matching the motor’s nominal kW value.
The 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN is a 690 VAC-class drive.
This is an important distinction from many 400 VAC, 480 VAC, and 600 VAC industrial drives.
690 VAC systems are commonly encountered in higher-power industrial installations where large motors are used.
Higher operating voltage allows substantial motor power to be delivered without requiring the same current level that would be necessary at a lower voltage.
This can be beneficial for:
The complete electrical installation still needs to be designed around the actual motor voltage, current, protection requirements, cable system, grounding arrangement, and applicable electrical standards.
The 142 A output-current rating places this model in the high-power range of the PowerFlex 753 family.
It provides considerably more capacity than smaller models such as the 61 A, 82 A, or 98 A configurations.
At the same time, it is below the larger 171 A, 212 A, and 263 A configurations in the same 690 VAC family.
This makes the 142 A model a useful middle-to-high-capacity choice.
It can be particularly attractive when the motor is around the 132 kW Normal Duty class and a larger 171 A drive would provide more capacity than necessary.
The drive has two important operating ratings.
| Duty Classification | Rating |
|---|---|
| Normal Duty | 132 kW |
| Heavy Duty | 110 kW |
| Output Current | 142 A |
Normal Duty is generally appropriate for applications with moderate overload requirements.
Heavy Duty is intended for more demanding loads.
A machine with high starting torque, frequent acceleration, frequent stopping, or significant mechanical inertia may need to be evaluated against the Heavy Duty rating.
For this reason, the application should be classified before the drive is selected.
Normal Duty applications commonly include loads where the motor operates relatively smoothly without continuous high overload requirements.
Examples may include:
In these applications, the 132 kW Normal Duty rating can provide substantial motor-control capacity.
Heavy Duty applications place greater demands on the motor and drive.
Examples can include:
For these applications, the 110 kW Heavy Duty rating should be used as the relevant rating unless the actual application calculations justify another selection.
The drive uses a Type 12 / IP54 enclosure.
This provides a significantly more protected construction than an open-frame drive.
The enclosure is appropriate for many industrial environments where dust, dirt, and incidental moisture may be present.
Typical environments can include:
The enclosure should still be installed within the environmental limits of the product.
High humidity, condensation, corrosive chemicals, excessive dust, extreme temperature, and poor ventilation can still affect drive reliability.
The Frame 6 construction provides a practical balance between high power and manageable physical size.
The approximate dimensions are:
1298.3 mm × 609.4 mm × 464.7 mm
The approximate weight is:
100 kg
This is large enough that the drive should be treated as a major cabinet component rather than as a small machine-mounted inverter.
Adequate structural support is necessary.
Cable entry and cable bending radius should also be considered carefully.
The 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN uses forced-air cooling.
High-power electronic components generate heat during operation.
The cooling system removes this heat and helps maintain the drive within its allowable operating temperature.
Thermal performance depends on:
For this reason, the drive should have sufficient ventilation and should not be installed where hot exhaust air is continuously recirculated.
The model uses a filtered configuration.
This is an important characteristic when the drive is integrated into an industrial electrical system containing sensitive control equipment.
Variable frequency drives generate high-frequency switching components as part of normal operation.
These can contribute to electromagnetic interference if the overall installation is not designed properly.
The filtering configuration can help support the EMC strategy of the system.
However, filtering should always be combined with proper grounding, shielding, cable routing, and separation between power and control wiring.
This configuration also specifies that the common-mode capacitor jumper is installed.
This detail is important because the filtering and common-mode configuration can influence the way the drive interacts electrically with the power system.
It should therefore be preserved when replacing an existing drive unless the replacement design specifically calls for a different configuration.
When installing or replacing the drive, the system’s grounding arrangement and motor-cable configuration should also be reviewed.
One of the most important differences between this model and some related PowerFlex configurations is that the 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN does not include an internal dynamic-braking transistor.
This means the drive should not be treated as a built-in dynamic-braking solution.
If the machine requires rapid deceleration or braking of a high-inertia load, an appropriate external braking solution or alternative regenerative strategy needs to be evaluated.
This is particularly important for:
If braking is required, the system designer should determine:
The absence of an internal braking transistor is not necessarily a disadvantage.
For many applications, braking is not required.
Large fans and centrifugal pumps, for example, may naturally decelerate without needing aggressive braking.
For machines requiring rapid stopping, however, braking should be evaluated before finalizing the drive configuration.
The drive includes embedded I/O.
This allows the drive to communicate with external control signals without requiring every basic function to be implemented using additional external interface hardware.
Depending on the application, embedded I/O can support functions such as:
For machine builders, embedded I/O can simplify panel design.
For maintenance teams, it can also make troubleshooting and signal tracing more straightforward.
The model is supplied as a Blank / No HIM configuration.
HIM refers to the human-interface module used for local drive operation and parameter access.
A no-HIM configuration can be useful when the drive is installed as part of a larger automated machine.
In such a system, the drive may be controlled through:
This can also reduce unnecessary hardware when local drive operation is not required.
The 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN is essentially a high-power electronic motor controller designed to provide variable-speed control for large AC motors.
The drive controls motor speed by adjusting the frequency and voltage delivered to the motor.
This provides a number of practical advantages over fixed-speed motor operation.
A large motor can start gradually.
The motor can run at different speeds.
The machine can accelerate according to a programmed ramp.
The machine can decelerate according to a controlled ramp.
The drive can communicate operating information to the larger control system.
This makes the drive useful for modern industrial machinery where motor speed needs to be controlled rather than simply switched on and off.
| Advantage | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|
| 142 A output | Suitable for large industrial motors |
| 132 kW Normal Duty | High-capacity motor control |
| 110 kW Heavy Duty | Supports demanding applications |
| 690 VAC | Suitable for high-voltage industrial systems |
| Type 12 / IP54 | Better environmental protection |
| Frame 6 | High-power industrial construction |
| Air Cooled | Practical thermal-management architecture |
| Filtered | Supports EMC system design |
| CM Jumper Installed | Defined common-mode configuration |
| Embedded I/O | Easier control integration |
| No HIM | Suitable for remote/automated systems |
| Compact relative to larger frames | Easier installation than very large Frame 7 drives |
| PowerFlex 753 platform | Common architecture across multiple ratings |
The strongest overall advantage is the combination of high motor capacity and industrial enclosure protection in a relatively compact Frame 6 package.
Large pumps are one of the most common potential applications for this type of drive.
A pump does not necessarily need to operate at maximum speed at all times.
Variable-speed control allows the motor speed to be adjusted according to the process requirement.
Potential applications include:
Large fans often have variable operating requirements.
The drive can regulate fan speed according to the required airflow.
This can be useful in:
The ability to reduce motor speed when full airflow is unnecessary can also improve overall system efficiency in appropriate applications.
Industrial blowers can require substantial motor power.
The 132 kW Normal Duty capability makes this drive suitable for large blower applications when the actual motor current and load profile are within the drive rating.
Potential applications include:
Conveyors can benefit from variable-speed control.
Controlled acceleration can reduce sudden mechanical loading.
This can help reduce stress on:
However, because this particular model does not include an internal dynamic-braking transistor, conveyor systems requiring aggressive braking should be evaluated carefully.
Material-handling equipment often has changing loads.
A conveyor may be empty during one part of the production cycle and heavily loaded during another.
Variable-speed control provides greater flexibility.
Applications can include:
Large mixers can have variable torque requirements.
The required motor torque can change depending on the material being processed.
For example, viscosity and material density can significantly affect the motor load.
The 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN can provide variable speed for large mixers when the motor and application requirements fall within the applicable rating.
Agitators are another suitable application.
The process may require different speeds during:
Variable-speed control can provide more process flexibility than fixed-speed operation.
Large compressors can require high motor power.
The drive may be suitable for certain compressor applications, but the actual compressor characteristics must be reviewed carefully.
Important considerations include:
The Heavy Duty rating is particularly important for demanding compressor loads.
Large industrial process machinery frequently uses variable-speed AC motors.
Potential applications include:
The drive’s embedded I/O and industrial enclosure can be useful in these environments.
The drive is especially suitable when a machine needs:
This makes the model a strong candidate for large fixed industrial installations.

|---|---|---|
| Large Centrifugal Pump | Excellent | High-power variable-speed control |
| Large Fan | Excellent | High-power airflow control |
| Large Blower | Excellent | High motor capacity |

| Heavy Conveyor | Good | Requires braking evaluation |
| Mixer | Excellent | Adjustable speed and high capacity |
| Agitator | Excellent | Process-speed control |
| Compressor | Good | Requires detailed load evaluation |
| Process Machinery | Excellent | Flexible industrial motor control |
| Material Handling | Very Good | High-power motor operation |
| High-Inertia Machinery | Good | Braking solution must be evaluated |
| Small Machine | Poor | Drive is generally oversized |
| Precision Servo System | Limited | Dedicated motion equipment is normally more appropriate |
The following five models are useful related configurations within the 690 VAC PowerFlex 753 family.
| Model | Series | Voltage | Output Current | Normal Duty | Heavy Duty | Frame | Enclosure | Dynamic Braking | Approx. Dimensions | Approx. Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20F1AGF098JN0NNNNN | PowerFlex 753 | 690 VAC, 3PH | 98 A | 90 kW | 75 kW | 6 | IP54 / Type 12 | None | 1298.3 × 609.4 × 464.7 mm class | Approx. 100 kg |
| 20F1AGF119JN0NNNNN | PowerFlex 753 | 690 VAC, 3PH | 119 A | 110 kW | 90 kW | 6 | IP54 / Type 12 | None | 1298.3 × 609.4 × 464.7 mm class | Approx. 100 kg |
| 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN | PowerFlex 753 | 690 VAC, 3PH | 142 A | 132 kW | 110 kW | 6 | IP54 / Type 12 | None | 1298.3 × 609.4 × 464.7 mm | 100 kg |
| 20F1AGF171JN0NNNNN | PowerFlex 753 | 690 VAC, 3PH | 171 A | 160 kW | 132 kW | 7 | IP54 / Type 12 | None | Approx. 1614 × 609 × 465 mm class | Approx. 162 kg |
| 20F1AGF212JN0NNNNN | PowerFlex 753 | 690 VAC, 3PH | 212 A | 200 kW | 160 kW | 7 | IP54 / Type 12 | None | Approx. 1614 × 609 × 465 mm class | Approx. 162 kg |
These models provide a useful progression around the target model.
The 98 A and 119 A configurations are lower-capacity alternatives.
The 171 A and 212 A configurations provide additional motor capacity.
The exact mechanical configuration should always be checked before using a related model as a direct physical replacement.
The 20F1AGF098JN0NNNNN is a lower-current model in the same 690 VAC PowerFlex 753 family.
Its approximate ratings are:
98 A output
90 kW Normal Duty
75 kW Heavy Duty
It can be a good alternative for large pumps, fans, blowers, and process equipment where 142 A is unnecessary.
The 20F1AGF119JN0NNNNN provides approximately 119 A output.
Its approximate ratings are:
110 kW Normal Duty
90 kW Heavy Duty
It sits directly below the 142 A model in the current-capacity progression.
For a motor slightly below the 132 kW class, this can be a more appropriately sized choice.
The 20F1AGF171JN0NNNNN is a higher-capacity model.
Its approximate ratings are:
171 A output
160 kW Normal Duty
132 kW Heavy Duty
Because it moves into Frame 7 construction, the physical installation requirements are different from those of the target Frame 6 model.
This makes it important to check cabinet space and mounting arrangements before considering it as a replacement.
The 20F1AGF212JN0NNNNN provides approximately 212 A output.
Its approximate ratings are:
200 kW Normal Duty
160 kW Heavy Duty
It is intended for larger industrial motors and can be considered where the 142 A model does not provide enough capacity.
The 20F1AGF263JN0NNNNN is a substantially larger related configuration.
It provides approximately:
263 A output
250 kW Normal Duty
200 kW Heavy Duty
This model is useful for very large industrial equipment where considerably more motor capacity is required.
Because of its higher power level and larger physical construction, it should not be considered a drop-in replacement without a complete engineering review.
The following models represent commonly encountered products from the same industrial drive portfolio and cover different power ranges and application types.
| Model | Product Family | Voltage Class | Output Capacity | Typical Application | Approx. Dimensions | Approx. Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20G1AJE395AN0NNNNN | PowerFlex 755 | 400/480 VAC class | 395 A class | Large industrial motor control | Large-frame configuration | Approx. 100 kg class |
| 20G1ABC540JN0NNNNN | PowerFlex 755 | 400/480 VAC class | 540 A class | High-power industrial equipment | Large-frame configuration | Approx. 100 kg class |
| 25B-D024N114 | PowerFlex 525 | 480 VAC class | 24 A class | Pumps, fans and machinery | Approx. 300 × 190 × 200 mm class | Approx. 5–8 kg |
| 25B-D017N104 | PowerFlex 525 | 480 VAC class | 17 A class | General industrial machinery | Approx. 250–300 × 180–200 mm class | Approx. 4–6 kg |
| 22B-D017N104 | PowerFlex 40 | 480 VAC class | 17 A class | General-purpose motor control | Compact frame | Approx. 3–6 kg |
These models cover applications ranging from compact machine control to very large industrial motor control.
The PowerFlex 525 models are significantly smaller than the 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN and are intended for much lower motor power.
The PowerFlex 755 models occupy a higher-performance and higher-capacity part of the industrial drive portfolio.
The PowerFlex 40 is a smaller general-purpose drive family and is more appropriate for lower-power machinery.
For a 690 VAC, 142 A application, however, the PowerFlex 753 family is the closest match.
| Model | Output Current | Normal Duty | Heavy Duty | Frame | Relative Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20F1AGF061JN0NNNNN | 61 A | 55 kW | 45 kW | 6 | Lower |
| 20F1AGF082JN0NNNNN | 82 A | 75 kW | 55 kW | 6 | Lower |
| 20F1AGF098JN0NNNNN | 98 A | 90 kW | 75 kW | 6 | Lower |
| 20F1AGF119JN0NNNNN | 119 A | 110 kW | 90 kW | 6 | Lower |
| 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN | 142 A | 132 kW | 110 kW | 6 | Target |
| 20F1AGF171JN0NNNNN | 171 A | 160 kW | 132 kW | 7 | Higher |
| 20F1AGF212JN0NNNNN | 212 A | 200 kW | 160 kW | 7 | Higher |
| 20F1AGF263JN0NNNNN | 263 A | 250 kW | 200 kW | 7 | Much Higher |
This progression shows why the 142 A model is an important configuration.
It provides a substantial 132 kW Normal Duty capacity while remaining in Frame 6.
Once the application moves into the 171 A class, the drive changes to Frame 7, which increases the physical installation requirements.
The 98 A and 119 A models can be attractive when the motor requirement is below 132 kW.
Selecting a drive that is unnecessarily large can increase equipment cost, cabinet requirements, and energy losses.
On the other hand, selecting a drive that is too small can cause overload or performance problems.
The correct choice is therefore the smallest suitable drive that satisfies the actual voltage, current, duty, acceleration, deceleration, and environmental requirements.
The 171 A and 212 A configurations provide additional current capacity.
They are useful when the motor current is above the 142 A range.
However, they also introduce larger physical requirements because they use Frame 7 construction.
Therefore, moving from 142 A to 171 A or 212 A is not simply an electrical decision.
The following should also be reviewed:
The approximate dimensions of the target drive are:
1298.3 mm height
609.4 mm width
464.7 mm depth
The approximate weight is:
100 kg
A cabinet or mounting structure should therefore be designed to support at least the actual equipment weight with an appropriate engineering safety margin.
The installation should provide room for:
The drive should not be installed in a location where cooling airflow is restricted.
A 132 kW-class drive generates substantial heat.
Thermal management should therefore be considered during the original machine design rather than added later.
Important factors include:
A hot electrical room can significantly affect drive operating conditions.
Where multiple large drives are installed in the same room, their combined heat output should be considered.
The incoming electrical supply must be compatible with the drive’s 690 VAC three-phase configuration.
The motor must also be appropriate for the drive’s voltage class.
The motor’s full-load current should be checked carefully.
The feeder cable, motor cable, grounding, protection equipment, disconnecting equipment, and control wiring must all be appropriately selected.
Because the drive operates at a high voltage and high power level, installation should be performed by qualified electrical personnel.
Motor cables are particularly important with large variable frequency drives.
The cable should be selected according to:
Long motor cables may introduce additional electrical effects that should be evaluated during system design.
Proper cable routing can also help reduce electromagnetic interference.
The filtered configuration of the drive helps support the EMC design of the installation.
However, a filter alone does not guarantee a trouble-free EMC environment.
The complete system should also consider:
Sensitive instrumentation should be protected from unnecessary electrical interference through appropriate installation practices.
A high-power drive should be included in a preventive-maintenance program.
Typical maintenance activities include:
Maintenance frequency should be adjusted according to the environment and operating duty.
Machine builders can benefit from the combination of high power and integrated functionality.
The embedded I/O can simplify machine wiring.
The Type 12 / IP54 enclosure provides additional protection.
The filtered configuration can help support the machine’s EMC design.
The no-HIM arrangement is suitable for machines controlled primarily through PLCs, networks, or remote operator interfaces.
The Frame 6 design also offers substantial motor capacity without moving immediately into the larger Frame 7 construction.
Plant operators benefit primarily from flexible speed control.
A motor can operate at the speed required by the process instead of running continuously at full speed.
This can improve:
In suitable variable-torque applications, operating a motor below maximum speed can also provide significant energy-saving opportunities.
The PowerFlex 753 architecture provides a consistent platform across multiple drive ratings.
This can simplify maintenance training.
Technicians can become familiar with:
This commonality is particularly useful in large industrial facilities where several drive ratings are installed.
| Selection Factor | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Motor Voltage | Must be compatible with 690 VAC system |
| Motor Current | Must fit within the applicable 142 A rating |
| Motor Power | Check 132 kW ND and 110 kW HD ratings |
| Duty Type | Determine Normal Duty or Heavy Duty |
| Load Type | Variable torque or constant torque |
| Starting Torque | Check application requirement |
| Acceleration | Confirm required ramp time |
| Deceleration | Confirm required stopping time |
| Braking | Evaluate because internal DB transistor is absent |
| Environment | Confirm IP54 / Type 12 suitability |
| Temperature | Check ambient temperature |
| Altitude | Consider derating if applicable |
| EMC | Review complete installation |
| Cable Length | Check motor-cable requirements |
| Mounting | Allow approximately 100 kg |
| Dimensions | Allow approximately 1298.3 × 609.4 × 464.7 mm |
| I/O | Confirm required control signals |
| Communication | Confirm automation requirements |
| HIM | Confirm whether local interface is necessary |
This type of evaluation is more reliable than selecting the drive based only on motor horsepower.
| Approximate Motor Requirement | Recommended Model | Output Current | Normal Duty | Heavy Duty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 55 kW class | 20F1AGF061JN0NNNNN | 61 A | 55 kW | 45 kW |
| 75 kW class | 20F1AGF082JN0NNNNN | 82 A | 75 kW | 55 kW |
| 90 kW class | 20F1AGF098JN0NNNNN | 98 A | 90 kW | 75 kW |
| 110 kW class | 20F1AGF119JN0NNNNN | 119 A | 110 kW | 90 kW |
| 132 kW class | 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN | 142 A | 132 kW | 110 kW |
| 160 kW class | 20F1AGF171JN0NNNNN | 171 A | 160 kW | 132 kW |
| 200 kW class | 20F1AGF212JN0NNNNN | 212 A | 200 kW | 160 kW |
| 250 kW class | 20F1AGF263JN0NNNNN | 263 A | 250 kW | 200 kW |
The target model is therefore a natural choice for applications around the 132 kW Normal Duty class, provided the actual motor current and load requirements are compatible.
| Model | Voltage | Current | ND | HD | Frame | Approx. Dimensions | Approx. Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20F1AGF098JN0NNNNN | 690 VAC | 98 A | 90 kW | 75 kW | 6 | 1298.3 × 609.4 × 464.7 mm class | Approx. 100 kg |

This progression provides a convenient way to select a drive according to motor power.
The 142 A model occupies the upper end of Frame 6 in this group.
The 171 A model moves into Frame 7, so the physical difference is important when planning a replacement or machine retrofit.

A good technical evaluation should also consider the limitations.
The first point is the absence of an internal dynamic-braking transistor.
If the application requires rapid braking, an additional braking solution must be evaluated.
The second point is the physical size and weight.
At approximately 100 kg, this is not a lightweight drive.
The third point is the high-voltage environment.
A 690 VAC installation requires careful electrical engineering and qualified installation personnel.
The fourth point is cooling.
The air-cooled design requires adequate airflow and appropriate thermal management.
The fifth point is application sizing.
The 132 kW Normal Duty rating should not automatically be interpreted as a universal 132 kW motor rating.
Actual motor current, duty, torque, overload, and environmental conditions must be considered.
When replacing an existing drive, the catalog number should be compared character by character.
Important characteristics include:
A drive with the same output current is not necessarily a direct replacement.
The filtering and common-mode configuration can be particularly important in an existing installation.

The 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN is a substantial industrial AC variable frequency drive designed for high-power three-phase motor control.
Its 142 A output rating, 132 kW Normal Duty capability, and 110 kW Heavy Duty capability make it suitable for large industrial machinery where a compact low-power inverter would not be sufficient.
The 690 VAC three-phase electrical configuration is one of its defining characteristics.
This makes the product particularly relevant to large industrial installations using higher-voltage motors.
The IP54 / NEMA Type 12 enclosure adds practical environmental protection, while the Frame 6 construction provides a high-power architecture without moving into the substantially larger Frame 7 size.
The approximate physical dimensions of 1298.3 × 609.4 × 464.7 mm and approximate weight of 100 kg should be included in the machine and cabinet design from the beginning.
The drive’s filtered configuration and installed common-mode capacitor jumper are also important details.
These characteristics should be taken into account when integrating the drive into an existing electrical system, especially where EMC, grounding, and motor-cable arrangements are already established.
Another important point is that this model does not contain an internal dynamic-braking transistor.
For applications such as large conveyors, high-inertia rotating machinery, or equipment requiring rapid stopping, the braking requirements should therefore be analyzed separately.
For applications that do not require dynamic braking, the absence of the braking transistor is generally not a limitation.
The embedded I/O and Blank / No HIM configuration also make the drive a good fit for automated industrial systems where operation is controlled from a PLC, network, remote operator station, or centralized control system.
Within the same 690 VAC PowerFlex 753 family, the 20F1AGF098JN0NNNNN and 20F1AGF119JN0NNNNN provide lower-current alternatives, while the 20F1AGF171JN0NNNNN, 20F1AGF212JN0NNNNN, and 20F1AGF263JN0NNNNN provide progressively greater motor capacity.
The 142 A model is therefore a useful point in the range for applications around the 132 kW Normal Duty class.
Overall, the 20F1AGF142JN0NNNNN is best suited to demanding industrial applications requiring 690 VAC operation, 142 A output, 132 kW Normal Duty performance, 110 kW Heavy Duty performance, Type 12 / IP54 protection, Frame 6 construction, filtered operation, embedded I/O, and a defined common-mode configuration.
It is particularly well matched to large pumps, fans, blowers, conveyors, mixers, agitators, process machinery, material-handling equipment, and other large AC motor applications where reliable variable-speed control is required.
