Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22A-A1P4N103 is a PowerFlex 4 adjustable frequency AC drive designed for compact, cost-effective motor speed control. This drive is a PowerFlex 4 series AC drive from Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. The PowerFlex 4 drives are the smallest and most cost-effective members of the PowerFlex family, designed for speed control of applications such as machine tools, fans, pumps and conveyors, and material handling systems.
Key Features
- Compact Frame A Enclosure: The 22A-A1P4N103 comes in a Size A frame. Panel mount design with operational temperature range between –10 and 50 degrees Celsius, at 5 to 95% non-condensing relative humidity.
- Dual Input Control Modes: Dual distinct input controls including digital control input configurable for either sink mode (0 to 6 Volts/18 to 24 Volts, ON/OFF) or source mode (18 to 24 Volts/0 to 6 Volts, ON/OFF) via DIP switch, and analog input control of 4-20 mA and 0 to 10 Volts DC.
- Integrated Protection: Overcurrent protection at 200% hardware limit for 60 seconds and 300% instantaneous fault for 3 seconds, plus over voltage and under voltage protection.
- No Brake/Filter Option: This drive is not equipped with a brake or filter like some other PowerFlex 4 series drives.
- Global Certifications: Meets C-TICK, CE, CUL, GOST, and UL standards.
