Step 1: Gather Required Information; Record Motor Nameplate Data - Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 753 Quick Start Manual

Step 1: Gather Required Information

When you apply power to your drive for the first time, you need to enter specific information about your application. You
need to enter motor nameplate data and set up your I/O.
Step 1: Gather Required Information helps you to verify that you have the needed information prior to drive powerup.

Record Motor Nameplate Data

Record the motor nameplate data to be entered into the Motor Data parameters during powerup. You can also record data
for up to five drive/motor combinations. Use this table to record a descriptive name for each drive/motor combination and
their respective parameters.
Drive/Motor Name
(example, Main Exhaust Fan)
Parameter Parameter
No. Name
25 Motor NP Volts
26 Motor NP Amps
27 Motor NP Hertz
(1)
28 Motor NP RPM
(2)
29 Mtr NP Pwr Units
30 Motor NP Power
(3)
31 Motor Poles
(1) Use the Slip RPM rather than the Synchronous RPM.
Example: Use 1750 RPM rather than 1800 RPM for a 60 Hz motor.
(2) The default units for parameter 29 [Motor NP Pwr Units] is horsepower (Hp).
(3) To calculate: Number of poles = 120 x parameter 27 [Motor NP Hertz] / parameter 28 [Motor NP RPM]. Round the result to the nearest even whole number.
Example: 120 x 60 Hz / 1800 RPM = 4 poles
