Allen-Bradley Option Module for ATEX
Certification of Allen-Bradley PowerFlex
750-Series Drives
A new ATEX option module enables Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 750-Series AC drives to be used in systems
that require control of motors that are located in potentially explosive environments. When used with an 11-
Series I/O module and the ATEX daughter card option module, the PowerFlex 753 and 755 drives are TÜV
certified to stop providing energy to motors when motor temperature becomes too high. This helps to
eliminate the risk of explosion due to an over-temperature condition in the ATEX-certified motor. The
PowerFlex 750-Series drives feature a wide power range of 0.75 to 1500 kw and 1 to 2000 horsepower,
with all drive models using the same option module to achieve certification for ATEX Directive 94/9/EC – a
European Union directive that describes what equipment is allowed in an environment with a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
