PowerFlex 525 Series

The PowerFlex 525 is used to control the speed and torque of three-phase AC motors in a variety of industrial applications. It’s commonly installed in packaging equipment, HVAC systems, pumping stations, and machine automation where size, cost, and flexibility are key considerations.

PowerFlex 525 drives support input voltages of 100–120V, 200–240V, and 380–480V, in both single- and three-phase configurations. They offer output ratings from 0.5 HP up to 30 HP depending on voltage class and application type.

PowerFlex 525 drives use a standardized part number structure that reveals key details about voltage, current, and features. For example:

25B-D017N104
│  │   │   └─ Options & enclosure (1 = IP20, 4 = frame size, 04 = firmware)
│  │   └─ Drive current rating (017 = 17A)
│  └─ Voltage class (D = 480V, A = 120V, B = 240V)
└─ Product family (25B = PowerFlex 525)

This format helps users match drives to their system’s power requirements and enclosure type.

Yes. Ethernet/IP and USB configuration are standard on all PowerFlex 525 drives. USB enables direct connection for programming via Connected Components Workbench (CCW), while Ethernet/IP supports seamless integration with Logix controllers and SCADA systems.

Absolutely. PowerFlex 525 drives are designed to integrate easily with Allen Bradley CompactLogix and ControlLogix controllers over Ethernet/IP. Add-on Profiles (AOPs) in Studio 5000 simplify configuration and diagnostics.

The drive includes embedded Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality as standard, helping meet SIL2/PLd safety standards. This feature allows for safe disabling of motor torque without removing power from the entire drive system.
