Delivering 3 HP (2.2 kW) of output power and a continuous current rating of 12 Amps, this Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) provides versatile sensorless vector control for standard three-phase induction motors. It features an integrated programming keypad, a local potentiometer, and built-in RS-485 communication, making it an excellent standalone or networked solution for conveyor systems, fans, pumps, and packaging machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Configuration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCore Technical Advantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 22B-B012H204 provides a wide 0-200 Hz adjustable output frequency range backed by a high 150% overload capacity for 60 seconds. Its advanced 16 kHz Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) configuration actively minimizes structural motor noise and harmonic resonance. Operating within a flexible 180-265V AC input range, the drive uses a space-saving plate-drive physical mount that permits direct installation inside shallow mechanical enclosure layouts or existing control panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 15px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f7fc;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px; width: 35%;\"\u003eModel Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e22B-B012H204\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px;\"\u003eProduct Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003ePowerFlex 40\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f7fc;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px;\"\u003eOutput Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e3 HP \/ 2.2 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px;\"\u003eOutput Current Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e12 Amps\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f7fc;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px;\"\u003eInput Voltage Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e180V to 265V AC, 3-Phase (±15% tolerance)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px;\"\u003eFrequency Control Span\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e0 to 200 Hz (fully adjustable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f7fc;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px;\"\u003eOverload Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e150% rating for 60 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px;\"\u003eSpeed Regulation\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e±2% of base speed across a 40:1 turn-down range\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f7fc;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px;\"\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e-10°C to +55°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px;\"\u003eHumidity Window\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e5% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f7fc;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px;\"\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #a9bccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e1.41 kg (3.1 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanical Mounting and Clearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecure the drive vertically to a rigid, uninsulated panel backplate using the integral mounting flanges. Its lightweight structure of 1.41 kg allows for straightforward handling during retrofit projects. Maintain a minimum 120 mm ventilation clearance above and below the drive structure.

Running single-phase power into this unit will trigger a phase-loss fault code or damage the input rectifier bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ2: How does the 16 kHz PWM switching rate affect system performance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2: Raising the PWM frequency to 16 kHz shifts acoustic motor noise into an ultrasonic range, significantly reducing audible motor hum in quieter work areas like assembly lines or ventilation networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ3: What parameters are adjusted to resolve frequent overvoltage faults during stops?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA3: Frequent overvoltage trips during deceleration usually point to high load inertia feeding energy back into the drive. Increase the deceleration ramp time parameter or install an external dynamic braking resistor loop across terminals BR+ and BR-.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen-Bradley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51050343661700,"sku":"22B-B012H204","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/7454\/7844\/files\/22B-A5P0N114-2_2efebc3f-26c9-4131-8699-23e3e9cd74df.jpg?v=1783089420","url":"https:\/\/www.etowonauto.com\/products\/adjustable-frequency-ac-drive-allen-bradley-22b-b012h204","provider":"Etowon Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
