Allen-Bradley 22C-D045A103

The 22C-D045A103, manufactured by Allen-Bradley, is a type of Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) commonly utilized in various industrial settings. This drive finds its application in controlling industrial fans, pumps, and dampers.

Technical Specifications:

The drive offers an output power capacity of 22.0 kW or 30.0 HP, catering to robust power requirements. It delivers an output current of 45.5 A and can operate across a wide output voltage range of 0 “ 480 V AC, ensuring compatibility with various electrical systems.

Designed for three-phase power input, this drive is well-suited for standard industrial power supplies. The input/output (I/O) configuration is extensive and flexible. It includes three semi-programmable discrete inputs and four fully programmable sink/source inputs, allowing for a high degree of customization based on specific operational needs.

The discrete outputs consist of two Form C contacts and one optocoupler output, offering varied options for external device control. For analog signal processing, there is one unipolar input ranging from “10 to 10 V or a bipolar input of 0 to 10 V or 4 to 20 mA.

Additionally, the model features two analog outputs capable of 0 “ 10 V DC or 0 “ 20 mA, providing versatile options for interfacing with other equipment. A key feature of the 22C-D045A103 is its built-in RS485 communication port, which facilitates easy integration into existing communication networks and enables remote monitoring and control.

Operating and Ambient Conditions:

The PowerFlex 400 drive is designed to operate in environments free from harmful or corrosive elements, such as dangerous gases, vapours, or types of dust. Installing and using this device below an altitude of 3300 feet (1000 meters) is recommended.

The drive functions optimally within a temperature range, operating effectively at temperatures as high as 113 degrees Fahrenheit down to as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit (or -10 to 45 degrees Celsius). For storage purposes, it can withstand temperatures ranging from -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to 85 degrees Celsius), but its crucial not to exceed these temperature limits.

Regarding durability, the PowerFlex 400 can handle an operational shock of up to 15 G for 11 milliseconds. It can endure a maximum operational vibration of 1G across a 5 to 2000 Hertz frequency range.

Motor Control Feature:

The 22C-D045A103 has a unique Auxiliary Motor Control feature, enabling it to operate up to three additional line-started motors in conjunction with the primary motor controlled by a PowerFlex 400 drive. This capability enhances the drives functionality, allowing for more comprehensive control of multiple motors within a system. The model includes a motor interlock input function that detects motors out of service. When such motors are identified, the system automatically transitions to the next available motor, bypassing those no longer operational.
