Allen-Bradley 22B-D024H204 AC Drive | PowerFlex 40 480V 3-Phase IP20

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 22B-D024H204 is a compact PowerFlex 40 adjustable frequency AC drive developed by Rockwell Automation for efficient 3-phase electric motor control. Operating on a 480V AC 3-phase power supply, this plate-style drive delivers a continuous output current of 24 Amps and a power rating of 15 HP (11 kW). Designed as an IP20 / NEMA Open Type plate drive without an internal heatsink, it features a net weight of approximately 4.3 kg (9.5 lbs). The 22B-D024H204 comes equipped with an integrated programming keypad, built-in RS-485 Modbus RTU communication, and an internal brake IGBT, making it an economical control solution for OEM machine integration.

Technical Specifications

Key Hardware & Performance Features

• Plate Drive Architecture: Designed without an internal heatsink for mounting directly onto custom cold-plate heatsinks or external cooling surfaces within industrial panels.
• High Overload Tolerance: Supports robust overload limits up to 150% for 60 seconds and 200% for 3 seconds to handle sudden high-load spikes.
• Integrated Dynamic Braking: Built-in internal brake IGBT allows simple connection to external dynamic braking resistors for rapid decelerations.
• Ungrounded Grid Compatibility: Features a removable MOV-to-ground jumper, enabling safe operation on ungrounded or IT power supply networks.

Installation & Field Wiring Guidelines

1. Thermal Mounting Surface: Mount the plate drive directly onto a flat, thermal dissipation surface or external cold plate to ensure proper drive cooling during high continuous loads.

2. Line & Motor Terminals: Connect 480V 3-phase AC line supply to R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3 input terminals. Connect 3-phase motor power lines to output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3.

3. Control & Grounding Configuration: Configure DIP switches for sink or source control logic. Secure protective grounding directly to the chassis earth terminal block.
