Product Overview

The ALLEN-BRADLEY 22B-D2P3C104 is a robust PowerFlex 40 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive designed for high-performance motor control in demanding environments. This 1 HP (0.75 kW) drive features an IP66, NEMA/UL Type 4X enclosure, making it ideal for panel mounting in areas requiring protection against dust and high-pressure water. With its integrated RS-485 communication and user-friendly LCD interface, the 22B-D2P3C104 provides versatile control for industrial automation. The unit has a net weight of 5.71 kg (12.59 lbs), reflecting its solid, industrial-grade construction.

Technical Configuration

Superior Load Handling & Braking

The PowerFlex 40 series is engineered for efficiency, boasting a 0.98 power factor across its entire speed range. The 22B-D2P3C104 includes a built-in Brake IGBT, enabling dynamic braking for applications requiring quick deceleration. It also supports 150% load acceleration for up to 60 seconds, providing the extra torque needed for heavy-duty startup cycles.

Enhanced System Protection

Safety and longevity are prioritized with integrated Class 10 motor overload protection and a massive 100,000 Amp symmetrical short circuit rating. The drive monitors critical thresholds, with overvoltage trips set at 810V DC and undervoltage protection at 390V DC, safeguarding both the drive and the connected motor from electrical transients.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Operations

Designed for panel mounting, the 22B-D2P3C104 requires adequate clearance for airflow to maintain its 48 to 63 Hz operational frequency range. The drive can be configured directly via the integrated keypad or through a PC using RS-485 serial communication. For optimum reliability, ensure the power consumption remains within the 2.3 kVA rating. This drive is a direct replacement for various legacy PowerFlex models, offering improved energy efficiency and diagnostic feedback.
