Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22A-V4P5N104 is a PowerFlex 4 variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for energy-efficient motor speed control in compact industrial applications. This Frame B drive operates from single-phase 120 VAC input (90–126 V range) and delivers three-phase 0–230 V output at 4.5 A and 0.75 kW (1 horsepower). The IP20 open enclosure with NEMA Type 1 rating makes it suitable for control panel mounting in general industrial environments.
Key Features
- Compact Frame B form factor for space-constrained panel layouts
- Single-phase 120 VAC input, three-phase output eliminates need for 3-phase supply
- Integral RS-485 serial communication port supports DF1 and multi-drop networking
- Fixed digital keypad with LED status display for local control and diagnostics
- Sensorless vector performance for stable torque regulation
- Programmable output frequency from 0 to 400 Hz
- No integral filter (clean power system recommended)
