Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22B-D2P3N104 PowerFlex 40 is a three-phase adjustable frequency drive (AFD) engineered for compact, cost-effective variable-speed motor control. Rated at 0.75 kW (1 HP) and 480V AC input, this Frame B drive delivers 2.3 amps output current and supports motors up to 1 horsepower. The 22B-D2P3N104 combines space-saving design with robust industrial performance, making it ideal for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users requiring flexible speed regulation without complex infrastructure.
Key Features
- Sensorless vector control — Delivers improved starting torque and precise speed regulation for better load response
- Integrated LCD keypad — Local parameter configuration and monitoring without external devices
- Overload protection and flying start — Drive ramp regulation and seamless startup after power loss
- IP20 open-type enclosure — Panel-mountable frame B construction for DIN rail installation
