Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22B-D1P4N104 is a PowerFlex 40 variable frequency drive engineered for general-purpose AC motor control in compact industrial installations. This 0.5 HP (0.4 kW) drive operates on 380–480 VAC 3-phase input and delivers precision sensorless vector control for applications requiring space-efficient, easy-to-integrate motor speed regulation.
Key Features
- Sensorless vector control (SVC) with auto-boost and slip compensation
- Integral RS-485 communication for Drive Explorer and Drive Tool SP programming
- Compact Frame Size B enclosure rated IP20, suitable for panel mounting
- Integral digital keypad for local Start/Stop, Jog, and frequency control
- 0–400 Hz output frequency range with 0–460 VAC output voltage
- Wide input voltage acceptance (342–528 VAC) for grid stability
