The 20G11BD1K2AN0NNNNN is a high-power PowerFlex 755 air-cooled AC drive designed for large industrial motor-control applications.
It is a 480 VAC, three-phase variable frequency drive with a nominal output current of approximately 1135 A. Its duty ratings reach approximately 1100 HP in Light Duty, 1000 HP in Normal Duty, and 800 HP in Heavy Duty.
This places the model in the very-high-power category of industrial AC drives. It is intended for large motors used in demanding applications such as centrifugal pumps, process pumps, industrial fans, blowers, conveyors, mining equipment, cement machinery, material-handling systems, water systems, and other large rotating machines.
The model belongs to the PowerFlex 750-Series and more specifically to the PowerFlex 755 series.
Its configuration includes an air-cooled design, 480 VAC three-phase input, AC input with precharge, DC terminals, EMC filtering, removed CM jumper, no integrated dynamic braking, embedded EtherNet/IP, and a blank/no-HIM configuration.
Because this is a Frame 9 high-power drive, the product is substantially larger and heavier than compact industrial VFDs. Mechanical planning, electrical-room space, ventilation, floor loading, transportation, lifting, cable routing, and maintenance access should all be considered as part of the installation.

The approximate power equivalents above are calculated from horsepower using the conventional relationship of approximately 0.746 kW per horsepower.
The actual drive selection should always be based on the motor’s rated current, application duty, overload requirement, and operating conditions rather than simply converting horsepower into kilowatts.
The 20G11BD1K2AN0NNNNN is designed for a 480 VAC, three-phase industrial electrical system.
Its approximately 1135 A output current gives it considerable capacity for very large AC motors.
The main duty ratings can be summarized as follows:
| Duty | Motor Rating | Approx. kW Equivalent | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light Duty | 1100 HP | 821 kW | Pumps, fans, blowers |
| Normal Duty | 1000 HP | 746 kW | General industrial machinery |
| Heavy Duty | 800 HP | 597 kW | High-torque machinery |
These ratings provide a useful way to understand the drive’s operating range.
The Light Duty rating is generally most attractive for variable-torque applications such as large centrifugal pumps and fans.
Normal Duty is useful for general industrial machinery with moderate overload requirements.
Heavy Duty is more appropriate for machinery that demands higher torque during acceleration or operation.
The approximately 1135 A output current is the defining feature of this model.
This is a very substantial current rating.
It places the drive above the 1045 A configuration and below larger 1365 A, 1420 A, 1525 A, and 2070 A configurations in the broader high-power range.
This makes the model useful when a motor requires more capacity than an approximately 1000 A-class drive can provide.
Typical large-motor applications include:
The 1100 HP Light Duty rating is a major advantage of the model.
At this rating, the drive is suitable for very large variable-torque applications.
Typical examples include:
For variable-torque applications, motor speed can be adjusted according to process demand.
This can provide more flexible operation than running the motor continuously at full speed.
The 1000 HP Normal Duty rating provides substantial capacity for general industrial machinery.
Possible applications include:
Normal Duty applications generally require a substantial motor but do not have the same overload requirements associated with a more demanding Heavy Duty application.
The 800 HP Heavy Duty rating is especially important for equipment with high starting torque or demanding mechanical characteristics.
Examples include:
When an application involves frequent starts, heavy loads, high inertia, or aggressive acceleration, the Heavy Duty rating should be considered carefully.
The PowerFlex 755 is designed as a high-performance industrial AC drive platform.
The series is intended for applications that need more than basic motor speed control.
Depending on the overall system configuration, the platform supports functions associated with:
This makes the platform suitable for complex industrial machines and large automated production systems.
The 20G11BD1K2AN0NNNNN is essentially a high-capacity motor-control platform designed to regulate very large AC motors.
The drive converts incoming three-phase electrical power into controlled electrical output for the motor.
Instead of simply applying fixed-frequency power, the drive can control the motor’s operating conditions.
This provides capabilities such as:
These functions are particularly valuable in large industrial facilities where motors can represent a major part of the plant’s mechanical and electrical infrastructure.
The model includes embedded EtherNet/IP capability.
This allows the drive to be integrated into an industrial automation architecture.
A control system can exchange information such as:
| Information | Typical Purpose |
|---|---|
| Start command | Start motor |
| Stop command | Stop motor |
| Speed reference | Set desired speed |
| Actual speed | Monitor motor speed |
| Output frequency | Monitor drive operation |
| Output current | Monitor motor loading |
| Drive status | Determine operating condition |
| Fault status | Troubleshooting |
| Warning status | Preventive maintenance |
| Process reference | Closed-loop process control |
| Diagnostic data | Maintenance |
For a large plant containing multiple high-power drives, network communication can greatly simplify centralized supervision.
The catalog configuration AN0 uses a blank / no-HIM arrangement.
HIM means Human Interface Module.
Unlike a door-mounted-HIM configuration, this model does not include a standard local operator interface as part of the catalog configuration.
This is often appropriate for automated industrial installations where drive operation is normally performed through:
For large electrical rooms, this configuration can also reduce the need for routine operator interaction directly at the drive.
A no-HIM configuration can be advantageous when the plant is designed around centralized automation.
Operators can work from a control room while the drive remains inside an electrical area.
This approach can provide:
For maintenance, appropriate programming and diagnostic equipment can still be used when direct access is required.
The drive is configured with AC input with precharge.
Large AC drives contain substantial DC-link capacitance.
When power is initially applied, the DC bus needs to charge.
The precharge function manages this initial charging process and helps limit the initial current associated with charging the DC-link capacitors.
This is particularly important in a drive with an output capacity exceeding 1100 A.
The model includes DC terminals.
The DC bus is an important part of the drive’s internal power-conversion system.
DC terminals can also provide flexibility for specially engineered power-system arrangements.
However, external DC-bus systems must be designed carefully.
Important considerations include:
The DC terminals should therefore be considered part of a complete engineered system rather than treated as an ordinary low-voltage connection.
The model includes EMC filtering.
Large variable frequency drives use high-frequency switching to control motor voltage and current.
This switching can generate electrical interference.
The EMC filter helps reduce conducted interference.
However, good EMC performance also depends on the complete installation.
Important factors include:
Proper installation is therefore just as important as the filter itself.
The model is configured with the CM jumper removed.
The common-mode configuration affects the electrical relationship between the drive, grounding system, EMC filter, and motor installation.
This is important during replacement work.
A drive with the same horsepower and current rating may still have a different grounding or common-mode configuration.
When replacing an existing drive, the complete configuration should therefore be checked.
The 20G11BD1K2AN0NNNNN does not include an integrated dynamic-braking transistor.
This means the drive is not configured with internal dynamic braking for dissipating regenerated energy.
This is particularly important for:
During deceleration, the motor can return mechanical energy to the DC bus.
If the regenerated energy is excessive, the DC-bus voltage can rise.
Depending on the application, alternative methods may be required, such as:
The 20G11BD1K2AN0NNNNN uses a Frame 9 construction.
A typical Frame 9 MCC-style arrangement is approximately:
2453 mm high × 1200 mm wide × 600 mm deep
Some configurations can use greater depth, approximately 800 mm, depending on the equipment arrangement.
For planning purposes, the envelope can therefore be treated as approximately:
2453 × 1200 × 600/800 mm
The exact final cabinet arrangement should always be checked against the applicable mechanical drawing before installation.
The exact weight can vary according to the final mechanical configuration.
For this size of Frame 9 drive, a practical planning value is approximately:
1,250–1,270 kg
A commonly listed equipment value for this model is approximately:
1270 kg
Therefore, for transportation and floor-loading calculations, it is sensible to plan around 1270 kg unless the final equipment documentation specifies a different shipping or cabinet weight.

A drive weighing approximately 1270 kg is very different from a conventional compact VFD.
The installation project needs to consider:
The drive should therefore be treated as a major piece of electrical infrastructure.
The model is particularly suitable for large pump systems.
Potential applications include:
Variable-speed operation allows the pump output to be adjusted to actual process requirements.
Centrifugal pumps are one of the most natural applications for a high-power variable frequency drive.
A simplified control structure can be:
Pressure Sensor → PID Control → Drive → Motor → Pump → Process
The drive can adjust motor speed based on the pressure or flow feedback.
For example, if system pressure decreases, motor speed can increase.
If demand decreases and pressure begins to rise, motor speed can be reduced.
This provides smoother process regulation.
Large industrial fans can consume substantial electrical power.
The drive can control fan speed according to actual airflow demand.
Potential applications include:
Variable-speed control can also reduce mechanical shock during startup.
The model is well suited to large industrial blowers.
Potential applications include:
Blower speed can be adjusted based on pressure, airflow, or another process variable.
The 1135 A current rating makes this drive appropriate for large conveyor systems.
Potential applications include:
Large conveyors often contain significant mechanical inertia.
Controlled acceleration can help reduce stress on:
The Heavy Duty rating should be checked carefully when the conveyor operates under heavy load.
Mining operations are among the applications where high-power drives are particularly valuable.
Possible uses include:
The large current capacity makes the model appropriate for many large mining motors.
Large cement plants operate many high-power motors.
The drive can be considered for:
Variable-speed operation can help match motor speed to production requirements.
Mineral-processing facilities use large motors in many parts of the process.
Typical applications include:
The drive’s high current capacity and industrial communication capabilities are useful for these applications.
Large material-handling systems often require accurate control of motor speed and torque.
Potential equipment includes:
Controlled acceleration can help reduce mechanical stress.
Adjustable speed can also allow the material flow rate to be coordinated with other equipment.
Large water systems frequently use high-power motors.
Potential applications include:
PID control can be particularly useful for pressure and flow regulation.
The drive can participate in a closed-loop process-control system.
For example:
Flow Sensor → Process Controller → Drive → Motor → Pump
or:
Pressure Sensor → PID → Drive → Blower → Process
This approach allows motor speed to respond continuously to process requirements.
Such control is useful when process demand changes over time.
Variable-speed operation can provide energy-saving potential in applications where the motor does not need to operate continuously at full speed.
This is especially relevant to:
In a variable-torque system, reducing speed can substantially reduce power consumption.
Actual savings depend on the entire mechanical system and its operating profile.
Important factors include:
A variable frequency drive can provide controlled acceleration.
This can reduce the mechanical shock associated with starting a large motor.
Potential benefits include:
For large industrial machines, controlled acceleration can be a significant operational advantage.
A fixed-speed motor normally operates at one primary speed.
A variable frequency drive can provide adjustable motor speed.
This is useful when process demand changes.
For example:
| Process Condition | Drive Response |
|---|---|
| Low flow requirement | Reduce motor speed |
| Medium flow requirement | Moderate speed |
| High flow requirement | Increase speed |
| Pressure too low | Increase speed |
| Pressure too high | Reduce speed |
| Conveyor overloaded | Adjust operation according to control strategy |
| Ventilation demand increases | Increase fan speed |
This makes the drive more flexible than fixed-speed motor control.
Embedded EtherNet/IP allows the drive to be integrated into centralized automation.
A control room can potentially monitor:
This is particularly useful in large plants with many distributed motors.
The PowerFlex 755 platform provides extensive drive information that can assist with maintenance.
Typical information of interest includes:
For large installations, this type of information can reduce troubleshooting time.
The absence of a local HIM is particularly suitable for centralized automation.
In a large facility, operators may not need to stand next to the drive.
Instead, the control architecture can provide the operating interface.
This approach can be useful when the drive is located:
The IP20 / NEMA Type 1 enclosure is intended for a protected industrial installation.
The drive should be protected from:
The electrical room should provide appropriate environmental control.
The air-cooling system also requires sufficient airflow.
At approximately 1135 A, thermal management is a major engineering consideration.
The installation should provide sufficient:
The cooling path should remain free from excessive dust and contamination.
Temperature should be kept within the permitted operating range.

These models form a useful progression around the target 1135 A configuration.
The 800 A and 1045 A versions provide lower current capacity.
The 1365 A and 1420 A versions provide additional capacity when the motor current is higher.

This progression makes the 20G11BD1K2AN0NNNNN a useful middle-to-upper-range choice for large 480 VAC motor applications.
| Application | Suitability | Main Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Large centrifugal pump | Excellent | High current and variable-torque capability |
| Process pump | Excellent | PID and network integration |
| Cooling-water pump | Excellent | Adjustable speed |
| Large industrial fan | Excellent | Variable-torque operation |

The drive is particularly well suited to large centrifugal pumping systems because it provides:
A pumping station can therefore adjust motor speed according to pressure or flow requirements.
This can be more efficient and flexible than operating a large motor continuously at full speed.
Large industrial fans can require hundreds of horsepower.
The drive allows fan speed to be adjusted according to airflow requirements.
Potential benefits include:
This makes the model particularly suitable for industrial ventilation and process-air systems.
Blowers frequently operate according to pressure or airflow requirements.
The drive can adjust blower speed according to actual process demand.
This is particularly useful in:
For large conveyors, controlled acceleration is one of the most valuable characteristics.
A conveyor can be accelerated gradually rather than subjected to an abrupt full-speed start.
This can reduce mechanical shock and improve system operation.
The drive can also provide variable conveyor speed when required by the process.
Mining equipment often operates under severe mechanical loads.
The large current rating of this drive allows it to control substantial motors.
The drive can be used in systems such as:
The ability to integrate the drive into a centralized automation system is also valuable for large mining facilities.
Cement plants contain numerous large motors.
The model can be considered for:
The ability to adjust speed can help the equipment respond to changing production requirements.
The combination of high-power motor control, PID functionality, and industrial networking makes the drive suitable for large process facilities.
The drive can become part of a complete control loop:
Process Sensor → Controller → Drive → Motor → Machine → Process
This arrangement is useful for systems where motor speed must change continuously according to production conditions.
Variable-speed operation can provide substantial energy-saving potential in appropriate applications.
This is particularly relevant to centrifugal pumps and fans.
If process demand decreases, the motor does not necessarily need to continue operating at full speed.
The drive can reduce motor speed.
Potential benefits include:
Actual energy savings should be determined from the specific motor, process, operating hours, and load profile.
The 20G11BD1K2AN0NNNNN is an air-cooled high-power drive.
The installation should provide sufficient cooling airflow.
The electrical room should be designed to remove heat generated by the drive.
Important factors include:
Thermal management becomes increasingly important as drive current increases.
Routine maintenance should consider:
The no-HIM configuration means that centralized software or an appropriate service interface may be used for detailed diagnostics and parameter management.
Before installing this drive, the following should be reviewed:
The cabinet requires substantial room for installation and servicing.
Approximately 1270 kg should be considered when evaluating floor capacity.
Forced-air cooling requires adequate airflow.
Large motor and incoming power cables require appropriate routing and bending space.
Correct grounding is essential for both safety and EMC performance.
Adequate access should be provided around the equipment.
The building entrance and transportation route must accommodate equipment approximately 2.45 m high and 1.2 m wide.

The 20G11BD1K2AN0NNNNN is a very high-power PowerFlex 755 AC variable frequency drive designed for large industrial motor applications.
Its approximately 1135 A output current provides more capacity than the 1045 A class immediately below it, while its 1100 HP Light Duty, 1000 HP Normal Duty, and 800 HP Heavy Duty ratings make it suitable for a wide range of large industrial equipment.
The model is especially attractive for applications where the motor must be controlled according to changing process requirements.
Large centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, blowers, conveyors, mining systems, cement machinery, water infrastructure, and process equipment are all strong application areas.
The embedded EtherNet/IP capability allows the drive to communicate with centralized automation systems.
This is particularly valuable in large facilities where dozens or hundreds of motors may be monitored from a central control room.
The PID functionality further expands its usefulness for pressure, flow, airflow, and other feedback-controlled processes.
The AC input with precharge and DC terminals provide a suitable architecture for a large industrial drive.
The EMC filter and removed CM jumper configuration also need to be considered as part of the complete electrical installation.
One important limitation is the absence of integrated dynamic braking.
For high-inertia machinery that must stop rapidly, the regenerative-energy behavior of the application should be analyzed before final drive selection.
The physical size is another major consideration.
With a typical Frame 9 envelope of approximately 2453 × 1200 × 600/800 mm and a planning weight of approximately 1270 kg, the drive requires serious mechanical and logistical preparation.
Floor loading, transportation, lifting, ventilation, cable routing, and maintenance space should all be addressed before installation.
Compared with the 20G11BD1K0AN0NNNNN, the target model provides higher current and higher horsepower capability.
Compared with the 20G11BD1K3AN0NNNNN, it provides slightly less capacity while retaining the same general Frame 9 high-power architecture.
This makes the 20G11BD1K2AN0NNNNN a useful middle point for large 480 VAC industrial motor systems.
In practical terms, the model can be summarized as a 480 VAC, three-phase, 1135 A, Frame 9, air-cooled PowerFlex 755 high-power AC drive with 1100 HP Light Duty, 1000 HP Normal Duty, 800 HP Heavy Duty capability, embedded EtherNet/IP, PID control, AC precharge, DC terminals, EMC filtering, removed CM jumper, no integrated dynamic braking, and a blank/no-HIM configuration.
Its primary strengths are very high current capacity, large horsepower capability, industrial network integration, process-control functionality, high-power Frame 9 construction, and suitability for large continuous-duty industrial machinery.
For large-scale pumping, ventilation, mining, cement, material handling, water systems, and process applications, it represents a drive configuration intended for the upper end of conventional industrial AC motor-control requirements.
