Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22A-D1P4N104 is a frame-size A PowerFlex4 adjustable frequency AC drive designed for variable-speed motor control in industrial automation. This 480VAC 3-phase unit delivers 0.4kW (0.5HP) continuous output at 1.4 amperes, with IP20 NEMA open enclosure rating. The drive supports both V/Hz speed control and sensorless vector control for torque applications, making it ideal for fans, pumps, and light-duty motion control systems.
