1336 PLUS II Drives

1336 PLUS II Adjustable Frequency AC Drive Selection Guide

Adjustable frequency AC drives are widespread in many industries, including manufacturing, material handling, and process control. These drives use electronic controls to alter the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor, which in turn changes the speed of the motor. This allows for precise control over the motor's speed and efficient operation of the equipment it powers. Adjustable Frequency AC drives offer many benefits over traditional mechanical methods of speed control, including improved energy efficiency, better speed regulation, and increased reliability.

To ensure the optimal control of a motor, Allen Bradley 1336 Plus II Series Drives offer a diverse and finely tuned line of AC drives with Sensorless Vector Control/Volts per Hertz control. These products were created to provide speed control solutions for many applications and include the tuning capabilities necessary for unique needs. However, do not worry - this detailed guide has got covered!

This will address all aspects of these great devices in detail so one can pick the right one to suit the specific needs.

Overview of 1336 PLUS II Drives

The 1336 PLUS II drive series by Allen-Bradley is an accessible and efficient line of AC drives. With a suite of available adjustments, sensors, interfaces, and customization options that are universal throughout the product line - these models ensure easy integration, installation, operation, training, and upkeep for all environments or situations.

The 1336 PLUS II motors range includes voltages spanning from 200VAC to 240VAC, 380VAC to 480VAC, and 500VAC to 600 VAC. 9 different frame sizes (A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, C, D, and E) permit this product to be used in stationary or mobile applications. This series of PLUS II motors has been programmed with an adjustable PWM frequency with an adjustable voltage output for adjustments depending on load requirements, therefore providing the industry with the desired performance necessary at all times.

To make things easier, this guide will divide the 1336 Plus II into three classes based on voltage, i.e., 220-240V, 380-480V, and 500-600V. It is important to note that all products under any class are equipped with a particular "enclosure type". (This is different from the frame sizes discussed above. Frame sizes give the dimensions of the enclosure, while enclosure type provides the type/quality/presence of the enclosure.)

These drives come with the following enclosures. Depending on the two-digit alphabetic code at position 4 of the product catalog number, you can know about the drive’s enclosure.

• Code: AA
  • Type: IP 20 (NEMA 1)
  • Description: An enclosure with a type IP20 (NEMA 1) rating is designed for indoor use. It protects against accidental contact with live parts inside the enclosure, but it is not sealed against the ingress of solid objects, dust, or water.
• Code: AE
  • Type: IP 20 (NEMA 1) / EMC
  • Description: An enclosure with a type IP20 (NEMA 1)/EMC rating is an indoor electrical enclosure that provides a degree of protection against accidental contact with live parts inside the enclosure, and it has been designed to minimize the emission of EMI and to provide some level of immunity to EMI from external sources.
• Code: AF
  • Type: IP 65 (NEMA 4)
  • Description: An enclosure with a type IP65 (NEMA 4) rating is designed for outdoor use and provides a high level of protection against dust and water ingress. It is suitable for use in environments where the enclosure may be exposed to low-pressure water jets from all directions.
• Code: AJ
  • Type: IP 54 (NEMA 12)
  • Description: An enclosure with a type IP54 (NEMA 12) rating is designed for indoor and industrial use and provides a moderate level of protection against dust and water ingress.
• Code: AN
  • Type: IP 00 (Open)
  • Description: An enclosure with an IP00 rating is considered an "open" enclosure, as it does not protect against the ingress of any external objects or substances.

It is also significant to know that every adjustable frequency AC drive from Allen Bradley comes with a specific language module. The language module of any drive can be determined from a 2-digit code at position 5 of the product catalog number.
