Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22B-D6P0N104 is a PowerFlex 40 general-purpose AC drive designed for compact, cost-effective motor speed control. Rated for 2.2kW (3.0HP) at 480V 3-phase input, this drive delivers 6.0A output current and combines space-saving design with powerful vector control capability. Part of the industry-standard PowerFlex 40 family, the 22B-D6P0N104 is ideal for controlling three-phase motors in machine tools, pumps, fans, conveyors, and material handling systems.
Key Features
- Compact Design: Frame B, panel-mount IP20 enclosure minimizes footprint in control cabinets
- Sensorless Vector Control: Enables low-speed torque capability for demanding motor applications without external feedback sensors
- Integrated RS485 Communication: Modbus RTU protocol allows integration into networked automation systems via serial interface
- Fixed Digital Keypad & LED Display: Straightforward operator interface for parameter adjustment and status monitoring
- Single Brake IGBT Configuration: Standard brake handling reduces external component requirements
- No Integral EMC Filter: Unfiltered design (catalog number -N104 suffix indicates no CE filter inclusion)
