Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22A-B1P5N104 is a PowerFlex 4 series variable frequency AC drive engineered for reliable motor speed control in compact industrial applications. This three-phase drive operates on 200-240V AC power (50/60 Hz, no filter) and delivers 0.2 kW (0.25 HP) at 1.5 A output with IP20, NEMA/UL Type 1 open enclosure. The PowerFlex 4 is designed as a cost-effective alternative for speed control of applications such as machine tools, fans, pumps, conveyors, and material handling systems.
Key Features
- Compact Frame A form factor minimizes panel space requirements
- Sensorless vector control provides stable speed regulation even under variable load conditions
- Integral keypad with local potentiometer and control keys active right out of the box
- Ten LED indicators display drive status and operational information
- Integral filtering available; external filters provide compliance to Class A and B requirements
- RS-485 communication port for multi-drop network integration via DF1 protocol
