Allen-Bradley 22F-D8P7N103

The 22F-D8P7N103 is a PowerFlex 4M Adjustable Frequency AC Drive that is manufactured and branded by Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Automation. The 22F-D8P7N103 has a voltage rating of 480 Volts AC, 3-Phase, and a rating of 8.7 Amperes, 3.7 Kilowatts (5.0 Horsepower) for an output current at 380-480 Volts input. The AC Drive has a panel mount, IP20 (NEMA Type Open) enclosure type rating and has a fixed keypad included. The 22F-D8P7N103 has a non-filtered emissions class and does not contain a brake IGBT. Input and output specifications for this hardware include an output frequency of 0-400 Hertz (programmable) and an efficiency of 97.5% (typical). The 22F-D8P7N103 has agency approvals from cULus, C-Tick, and CE. Digital control input specifications include a voltage range between 18-24 Volts for Source mode ‘on’ and 0-6 Volts for Source mode ‘off.’ Sink mode voltage ranges are 0-6 Volts for ‘on’ and 18-24 Volts for ‘off.’

Control output specifications for the 22F-D8P7N103 include a resistive rating of 3.0 Amperes at 30 Volts DC, 125 Volts AC, and 240 Volts AC, and an inductive rating of 0.5 Amperes at 30 Volts DC, 125 Volts AC, and 240 Volts AC. Environmental specifications include the maximum altitude that the 22F-D8P7N103 can operate at, which is 1000 meters (3300 feet) without derating. It uses a fan for its cooling method; the manufacturer notes that it is important to keep the 22F-D8P7N103 out of environments where there are volatile or corrosive gasses, vapors, or dust. The 22F-D8P7N103 has a relative humidity rating of 0% to 95% (non-condensing) and can withstand an operating shock of 15G peak for an 11-millisecond duration. Control specifications include a carrier frequency of 2-10 Kilohertz, with a drive rating based on 4 Kilohertz. Digital input frequency accuracy is within +/- 0.05% of set output frequency and analog input frequency accuracy is within 0.5% of maximum output frequency.

When operating at full power, this drive can produce 5 horsepower of power. It does not include any CE filters. At 3-phases, it can produce 480 volts of alternating current. It should be used with an open IP20 type enclosure. The enclosure should have the following ratings – the IP20, or the NEMA UL rating. Thanks to the embedded LCD and the keypad, this drive can be configured locally. The remote input and outputs can be deployed for establishing discrete connections. Due to the built-in I/O channels, this drive supports both automatic, and manual operations. Using the premiere Integration, users can integrate this drive with modern industrial applications. Users can connect the different parameters of this drive using either the CompactLogix or the Logix controllers. 

The 22F-D8P7N103 can be connected with HMI, SCADA, or DCS modules. When doing so, signals are cut out and replaced with hardwiring. For installation, this drive must be installed with a B frame size. The maximum voltage this drive can produce is 460 volts alternating current. It can effectively utilize 97% of the current that it takes in. It can work smoothly with industrial motors with a 3.75 kilowatts rating. It is undoubtedly one of the most portable and compact VFD drives out there. It can be used for executing speed control at the machine level. It is mostly suited for OEM-rated equipment. Unlike other modules, this one does not require immediate programming.
