Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22B-D024N104 is a PowerFlex 40 variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for general-purpose AC motor control in industrial automation applications. This compact Frame C drive operates on 480V, 3-phase input and delivers 24 Amp output to control motors up to 15 horsepower (11 kW). The 22B-D024N104 combines sensorless vector control technology with flexible configuration options, making it ideal for OEMs, machine builders, and end-user installations requiring reliable motor speed and torque regulation.

Typical Applications
The 22B-D024N104 is used to control and modulate the speed of industrial AC motors, increasing accuracy and efficiency by enabling multiple points of control instead of ON/OFF control. It promotes energy savings by allowing parameterization of start-up, shutdown, idle, and no-load states to reduce energy consumption.
