Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22A-V4P5N104 is a PowerFlex 4 adjustable frequency drive engineered for cost-effective speed control of AC motors in compact automation systems. This drive provides powerful motor speed control in a compact, space-saving design, making it ideal for OEMs and end-users seeking reliable motion control without excess footprint. Rated for 0.75 kW (1.0 HP) with 100–120V AC single-phase input and 0–230V 3-phase output, the 22A-V4P5N104 delivers sensorless vector control performance for consistent torque and speed regulation across varied load conditions.
Key Features
- Compact Frame B Design: Smallest drive in the PowerFlex family, fitting space-constrained enclosures while maintaining full functionality
- Sensorless Vector Control: Maintains phenomenal speed regulation even with high levels of torque across the speed range
- Fixed Digital Keypad: Out-of-box operation via integrated keypad without additional configuration
- IP20 Open Enclosure: NEMA Type 1/UL Type Open, fixed terminal block connections
- Integrated Communications: Supports DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, MODBUS, and PROFIBUS protocols
- Electronic Motor Overload Protection: Built-in safeguards extend motor life and reduce downtime
