FAQs

What is the difference between PowerFlex 525, 753 and 755?

The 525 is a compact economical drive, the 753 is a modular mid-power drive, and the 755 is a high-performance multi-option series.

Which PowerFlex drive should I choose?

Choose by power rating, control precision and whether modular expansion is needed. Small power favours the 525, while high performance favours the 755.
