About the 50FN4021
Greater Product Series Information
The 50FN4021 is a 50 HP FlexPak 3000 Non-Regenerative DC Drive. It was initially created by Reliance Electric but was also probably also sold by ABB and Baldor Reliance depending on its production years. The 50FN4021 was discontinued by Reliance, but AX Control still attempts to keep it stocked. This 50FN4021 device's attribution to the Reliance Electric manufacturer more or less affirms a correct status as a legacy product.
