PowerFlex 527 AC Drive Specifications
Product Overview
PowerFlex® 527 AC drives are designed to be used with an Allen-Bradley® Logix Programmable Automation Controller
(PAC). Ideal for machines that can benefit from the same drive configuration experience for both servo and AC drives, the
PowerFlex 527 drive features a built-in dual port for EtherNet/IP™ and safety over the network. The PowerFlex 527 drive
provides maximum flexibility and performance ranging up to 30 HP and 22 kW.
Designed to connect and operate only with the ControlLogix® 1756-L7x, GuardLogix® 1756-L7xS, and CompactLogix™
5370 controllers and Studio 5000 Logix Designer™ application. The PowerFlex 527 is programmed with the embedded
motion instructions within Studio 5000, these are the same instructions that are used for Allen-Bradley Kinetix® servo
drives. This streamlined approach provides a common user experience and just one software package to learn and use. The
commonality and use of consolidated integration tools helps save valuable engineering time.

(one form A and one form B) can be used to indicate
various drive, motor or logic conditions.
Communications
•Built-in dual port for EtherNet/IP allows easy
configuration, control, and collection of drive data over
the network. It also supports Device Level Ring (DLR)
topologies, providing fault-tolerant connectivity for
optimum drive availability.

Common DC Bus Installations
Common DC Bus offers additional inherent breaking capabilities by utilizing all the drives/loads on the bus for energy
absorption offering higher efficiency and cost savings. The PowerFlex 527 drive has been optimized for use in Common
DC Bus or Shared DC Bus installations.
•Direct DC Bus connection to power terminal blocks.
Improved Ride Through
Operation Down to 1/2 Line Voltage
The PowerFlex 527 drive allows for the selection of 1/2 DC Bus operation, for use in critical applications where continued
drive output is desired even in the event of brown out or low voltage conditions. The PowerFlex 527 drive also supports
enhanced inertia ride through for additional low voltage mitigation.
•Selectable 1/2 line voltage operation.
•Increased power loss ride through.

Safety Inside using Safe Torque-Off Function
Safe Torque-off is a standard feature that can be applied through either hardwired safety or Integrated Safety via an
EtherNet/IP network. Safe Torque-Off allows you to restart your application faster after a safety-related situation.
•Safe Torque-Off functionality removes rotational power without powering down the drive.
•Built-in safety reduces wiring and saves on installation space.
•Meets ISO 13849-1 standards and provides safety ratings up to and including SIL 3/PLe.
Communications and Software
Versatile Programming and Network Solutions
•A network can be configured using
PowerFlex 527 drives for flexible configuration
capabilities.
•Built-in dual port for EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP is an established, broadly adopted
network that helps simplify and enhance machine
design and operation. Dual-port EtherNet/IP
connectivity supports linear and ring topologies as well
as device level ring (DLR) functionality.
The application of the CIP Safety protocol enables the
simultaneous transmission of safety and standard
control data and diagnostics information through
EtherNet/IP.
PC Programming Software
Studio 5000 Logix Designer
•PowerFlex 527 drives are designed to be used exclusively with Allen Bradley Logix controllers.
•Drives are programmed using the motion instructions in Studio 5000 Logix Designer(1).
•PowerFlex 527 drives feature drive configuration that is stored in the Logix controller, supporting fast, automatic
device replacement.
(1) Studio 5000 Logix Designer (formerly RSLogix 5000) version 24 or greater is required.

Derating Guidelines for High Altitude
The drive can be used without derating at a maximum altitude of 1000 m (3300 ft).
If the drive is used above 1000 m (3300 ft):
•Derate the maximum ambient temperature by 5 °C (41 °F) for every additional 1000 m (3300 ft), subject to limits
listed in the Altitude Limit (Based on Voltage) table below.
Or
•Derate the output current by 10% for every additional 1000 m (3300 ft), subject to limits listed in the Altitude Limit
(Based on Voltage) table below.

High Altitude
Debris Protection
Take precautions to prevent debris from falling through the vents of the drive housing during installation.
Storage
•Store within an ambient temperature range of -40...85 °C(1).
•Store within a relative humidity range of 0...95%, noncondensing.
•Do not expose to a corrosive atmosphere.
(1) The maximum ambient temperature for storing a Frame E drive is 70 °C.
AC Supply Source Considerations
Ungrounded Distribution Systems
Disconnecting MOVs
To prevent drive damage, the MOVs connected to ground shall be disconnected if the drive is installed on an ungrounded
distribution system (IT mains) where the line-to-ground voltages on any phase could exceed 125% of the nominal line-to-
line voltage. To disconnect these devices, remove the jumper shown in the diagrams below.
1. Turn the screw counterclockwise to loosen.
2. Pull the jumper completely out of the drive chassis.
3. Tighten the screw to keep it in place.
ATTENTION: PowerFlex 520-Series drives contain protective MOVs that are referenced to ground. These devices must be
disconnected if the drive is installed on an ungrounded or resistive grounded distribution system.
ATTENTION: Removing MOVs in drives with an embedded filter will also disconnect the filter capacitor from earth ground.

Phase to Ground MOV Removal
Input Power Conditioning
The drive is suitable for direct connection to input power within the rated voltage of the drive (see Input Power Conditions
on page 19). Listed in the Input Power Conditions table below are certain input power conditions which may cause
component damage or reduction in product life. If any of these conditions exist, install one of the devices listed under the
heading Corrective Action on the line side of the drive.
Input Power Conditions
(1) For drives applied on an open delta with a middle phase grounded neutral system, the phase opposite the phase that is tapped in the middle to the neutral or earth is referred to as the “stinger leg,” “high
leg,” “red leg,” etc. This leg should be identified throughout the system with red or orange tape on the wire at each connection point. The stinger leg should be connected to the center Phase B on the
reactor. See Bulletin 1321-3R Series Line Reactors on page 35 for specific line reactor part numbers.
(2) See Accessories and Dimensions on page 31 for accessory ordering information.
IMPORTANT
Tighten screw after jumper removal.
IMPORTANT
Only one device per branch circuit is required. It should be mounted closest to the branch and sized to handle the total current of
the branch circuit.

General Grounding Requirements
The drive Safety Ground - (PE) must be connected to system ground. Ground impedance must conform to the
requirements of national and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity of all ground
connections should be periodically checked.
Typical Grounding
Ground Fault Monitoring
If a system ground fault monitor (RCD) is to be used, only Type B (adjustable) devices should be used to avoid nuisance
tripping.
Safety Ground - (PE)
This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of these points must be connected to adjacent building
steel (girder, joist), a floor ground rod or bus bar. Grounding points must comply with national and local industrial safety
regulations and/or electrical codes.
Motor Ground
The motor ground must be connected to one of the ground terminals on the drive.
Shield Termination - SHLD
Either of the safety ground terminals located on the power terminal block provides a grounding point for the motor cable
shield. The motor cable shield connected to one of these terminals (drive end) should also be connected to the motor
frame (motor end). Use a shield terminating or EMI clamp to connect the shield to the safety ground terminal. The
earthing plate or conduit box option may be used with a cable clamp for a grounding point for the cable shield.
When shielded cable is used for control and signal wiring, the shield should be grounded at the source end only, not at the
drive end.
