Overview
The Reliance Electric 6SB401-180CNANA is a SP600 AC drive engineered for high-horsepower industrial motor control. Rated at 480VAC 3-phase input, 150HP continuous duty (110kW), and 180A output, this drive delivers reliable variable-frequency control for demanding applications. The 6SB401-180CNANA operates within the proven Reliance SP600 platform, now supported by Rockwell Automation, and is designed for frame size 6 installations.
