Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22A-D6P0N104 is a PowerFlex 4 adjustable frequency AC drive designed for three-phase industrial motor control applications. This unit operates at 480 VAC input (340–528 V tolerance) and delivers up to 6.0 A continuous output current, making it ideal for controlling motors up to 3 horsepower (2.2 kW). The compact Frame B, IP20 open enclosure with fixed digital keypad and LED display provides cost-effective, modular speed control suitable for fans, pumps, conveyors, and other general-purpose industrial loads.
