Allen-Bradley 22A-A4P5N104 | PowerFlex 4 Variable Frequency Drive

Product Overview

The 22A-A4P5N104 from Allen-Bradley is a compact PowerFlex 4 Variable Frequency Drive designed for 1-phase industrial motors. It supports 240V AC input and provides precise output control of 4.5 Amperes and 0.75 kW (1.0 HP), ensuring efficient motor performance.

This drive features a sensorless vector control for smooth speed regulation, even under high torque loads. The LED keypad interface enables simple local operation, while ten LED indicators display real-time status and operational parameters.

Communication is enabled through a built-in RS-485 port, allowing integration with multi-drop networks and PLC controllers via DF1 protocol. The 22A-A4P5N104 supports additional protocol cards, including BACnet, ControlNet, LonWorks, PROFIBUS DP, EtherNet/IP, and DeviceNet, providing versatile connectivity.

Designed for durability, the open-type IP20/NEMA UL Type Open enclosure protects internal components while allowing easy panel or DIN rail installation. Its Frame A size measures 15.2 × 18.5 cm when installed with IP30/NEMA 1/UL Type 1 option kit.
