Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22B-D2P3N104 PowerFlex 40 is a cost-effective, compact general-purpose AC drive engineered for variable-speed control of three-phase motors. Rated at 0.75 kW (1 HP) with 480VAC 3-phase input, the drive delivers 0-460VAC output at 2.3 amps continuous current with 0-400 Hz frequency range. The frame-size B panel-mount enclosure features IP20 NEMA/UL Type Open rating and integrates DIN-rail compatibility for quick installation, making it ideal for retrofit and new-build applications.
Key Features
