Motor-Protecting, VFD Circuit Breaker

The Allen-Bradley Bulletin 140M-D8V motor-protection circuit breakers are made for handling the output of VFDs, providing individual overload protection in multiple motor applications.

Rockwell 56cb29b0b96ce

The Allen-Bradley Bulletin 140M-D8V motor-protection circuit breakers are made for:

  • The output of variable frequency drives in multi-motor installations, providing individual overload protection in multiple motor applications, as required by NEC.
  • The output of VFD, which must be limited to 400 hertz or less to prevent thermal degradation.
  • Disconnection of motor branch circuits, branch-circuit and short-circuit protection (including magnetic protection), overload/thermal protection and manual switching.
  • Limiting current with a fixed magnetic trip.
  • Interrupting ratings at 400 volts and 480 volts are available up to 65 kiloamps.
  • The VFD output pulse-width modulation frequency must be limited to 4 kilohertz or less.
  • The circuit breakers provide motor overload protection at trip class 10.
