Where Can I Find PowerFlex 525 Submittal Information?
PowerFlex 525 Submittal Documents/Links
When preparing a submittal for a PowerFlex 525 drive, most of the required product information can be found in the PowerFlex 520-Series AC Drive Specifications Technical Data, publication 520-TD001.
The PowerFlex 520-Series User Manual, publication 520-UM001, can be used as a secondary resource when more detailed installation, wiring, or application information is required.
Primary Resource – PowerFlex 520-Series Technical Data
PowerFlex 520-Series AC Drive Specifications Technical Data – 520-TD001
PowerFlex 520 Series Technical Data
The Technical Data publication should be the primary resource for PowerFlex 525 submittal information.
This document contains most of the information typically requested by an engineer, contractor, or customer when reviewing a drive submittal, including:
- PowerFlex 525 catalog number and selection information
- Horsepower and kW ratings
- Input voltage and phase
- Rated output current
- Normal Duty and Heavy Duty ratings
- Frame size
- Drive dimensions and weights
- Mounting requirements and clearances
- Ambient operating temperature
- Temperature derating
- Altitude and altitude derating
- Environmental specifications
- Enclosure and IP ratings
- Electrical specifications
- Overload capability
- Fuses and circuit breakers
- Branch circuit protection
- Short-circuit ratings
- Control and I/O specifications
- Communication capabilities
- Certifications and standards
- Accessories and option kits
Using the Technical Data for a Submittal
Start with the complete PowerFlex 525 catalog number being quoted.
Use the Technical Data publication to identify the specifications that correspond to that specific drive, paying particular attention to:
Voltage Class → Horsepower/Output Current → Frame Size
These three items determine much of the drive-specific information needed for the submittal.
For example, the frame size determines which dimensional drawing applies, while the voltage and current rating determine the applicable electrical and branch circuit protection information.
Not every table in the Technical Data publication applies to every PowerFlex 525. Make sure the information being submitted corresponds to the actual drive being quoted.
Secondary Resource – PowerFlex 520-Series User Manual
PowerFlex 520-Series Adjustable Frequency AC Drive User Manual – 520-UM001
PowerFlex 520 Series User Manual
The User Manual should be used when additional detail is required beyond what is provided in the Technical Data publication.
Typical information found in the User Manual includes:
- Installation instructions
- Power wiring
- Motor wiring
- Grounding requirements
- Control terminal wiring
- Digital inputs and outputs
- Analog inputs and outputs
- Relay output information
- EtherNet/IP setup and configuration
- Drive startup and commissioning
- Programming and parameter information
- Fault and troubleshooting information
For a typical PowerFlex 525 submittal, it is generally not necessary to provide the entire User Manual. Use it when the project specification or customer requires additional installation or wiring details.
What Information Should Be Provided?
The amount of information required will vary depending on the project specification, but a typical PowerFlex 525 submittal should provide enough information for the reviewer to confirm:
Drive Selection
Verify the complete catalog number, horsepower, voltage, phase, output current, and applicable duty rating.
Physical Information
Provide the applicable frame size, dimensions, weight, mounting orientation, and required clearances.
Electrical Information
Provide the applicable input/output ratings, overload capability, branch circuit protection, SCCR information, and other required electrical specifications.
Environmental Information
Provide operating temperature, altitude, humidity, enclosure/IP rating, and any required derating information.
Control and Communications
Provide information on the available control I/O and EtherNet/IP communications when required by the project.
Certifications
Provide the applicable listings, certifications, and standards when required by the project specification.
Recommended Process
When a PowerFlex 525 submittal is requested:
- Obtain the complete PowerFlex 525 catalog number being quoted.
- Open the 520-TD001 Technical Data publication.
- Identify the applicable voltage, horsepower/current rating, and frame size.
- Pull the applicable ratings, dimensions, environmental data, protection information, I/O information, and certifications required by the specification.
- Review the project specification for any additional requirements.
- Use the 520-UM001 User Manual when additional installation, wiring, control, or programming information is required.
- Make sure all submitted information corresponds to the specific drive being quoted.

Important
A PowerFlex 525 submittal should be based on the specific drive being quoted and the requirements of the project specification.
Do not simply submit the entire PowerFlex 520-Series documentation package without reviewing it. Providing the applicable information for the selected drive makes it easier for the engineer or customer to verify that the proposed PowerFlex 525 meets the project requirements.
