22A-V1P5F104 Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 4 Drive, Compact 0.2 kW 120V Single-Phase, 22A-V1P5F104 Fast Ship

22A-V1P5F104 | Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 4 AC Drive

The 22A-V1P5F104 is a compact AC drive from Allen-Bradley. It runs on single-phase 100–120 V power. Output is 0.2 kW (0.25 HP) at 1.5 A. In addition, the flange-mount design saves panel space. A built-in RS-485 port supports Modbus RTU. Moreover, an integral brake IGBT is ready for an external resistor. This drive suits simple motor control tasks, and it also offers fast setup. Therefore, it fits small machines and retrofit jobs. As a result, many panel builders choose it for tight spaces. For example, it works well in small conveyor lines.

Installation Guide

• First, mount the drive through a panel cutout, flange style.
• Use the 145 mm cutout width for Frame A.
• Add kit 22-JBAA for IP30/NEMA 1 protection.
• Fit an external brake resistor of at least 60 Ω.
• Pick a resistor rated for 5% duty cycle, such as AK-R2-091P500.
• Next, wire the RS-485 port for Modbus RTU control.
• Then set node address and baud rate in parameters A104 and A103.
• For CE compliance, add external L-type filter 22-RF010-AL.
• Also keep motor cable length within 100 m with the L filter. Thus, EMC limits stay met.
• Finally, check all torque values before power-up.

Setup and Maintenance Convenience

• A fixed keypad with LED display speeds up local setup.
• DIP switches set the analog input type in seconds.
• Two programmable digital inputs add flexibility.
• One Form C relay handles status or alarm signals.
• Moreover, Modbus RTU allows remote monitoring and control.
• Convection cooling means no fan to replace.
• Simple parameter numbers (A091, A103, A104) reduce training time.
• Finally, RS-485 supports up to 2 peripherals per drive. Hence, small networks stay simple.
• In short, daily checks take only minutes.

FAQ

• Q: Can this drive run a three-phase motor from a single-phase outlet?
  A: Yes. It takes 1-phase 100–120 V input and outputs 3-phase 0–230 V for a standard motor. Therefore, small shops can use it without a 3-phase supply. In fact, many workshops do exactly this.
• Q: Do I need a separate cooling fan for the panel?
  A: No built-in fan exists. Plan panel airflow around the 32 W heat loss. The heatsink carries about half that heat away. As a result, keep vents clear. Similarly, leave gaps around the flange.
• Q: How do I connect two drives on one RS-485 line?
  A: Daisy-chain them in RTU mode. Set a unique node address (1–247) on each unit. Add repeaters beyond 32 nodes. Otherwise, signals may drop. For example, use a 120 Ω terminator at the end.
• Q: Is this drive a good choice for a pump with high inertia?
  A: Only for light loads. The 150% overload lasts 60 s. Heavy inertia may need a larger frame or a different family. However, most small pumps work fine. Consequently, check the load curve first.
• Q: What do installers say about wiring this drive?
  A: Many report the DIP switches and small frame make wiring quick. The flange mount also keeps the panel door clear. In practice, setup takes under an hour. Moreover, labels on the terminals help.
• Q: Can I add Ethernet to this drive?
  A: Only through an external DSI kit. Use 22-XCOMM-DC-BASE with a 22-COMM-E adapter. No internal card slot exists. Consequently, plan the extra space. Otherwise, skip network control.
• Q: Why does the manual list no encoder option?
  A: PowerFlex 4 lacks closed-loop vector control. Pick PowerFlex 40P or 70 for encoder feedback needs. Otherwise, speed accuracy stays at ±2%. Thus, match the drive to the task.
• Q: What happens during a 100 ms power dip?
  A: The drive rides through without a fault. The logic stays alive for 0.5 s minimum. Longer dips may trip the bus. Therefore, add backup power for critical lines. Also, test with your real supply.
