The 22D-B017N104 is a Powerflex 40P series adjustable frequency AC drive manufactured by Allen-Bradley. It is rated at 240 Volts AC, 3-phase, 3.7 kilowatts, 5 Horsepower, 17.5 Amps of output current, and 50 to 60 Hertz frequency, with a frame size of B, and it weighs 1.905 kilograms. It provides performance-enhancing motor speed and basic position control capabilities for varied applications including smart conveyors, packaging machines, ring spinning machines, diverters, palletizers, synthetic fiber spinning machines, and drafting machines, and its sensorless vector control improves application performance, enabling it to meet low-speed torque demands. The compact design of the 22D-B017N104 Powerflex 40P drive makes for space saving, cost-effective, and efficient speed control solutions. It is designed for simple and efficient startup, and it features an IP20 (NEMA Type Open) enclosure to which an optional IP30 (NEMA 1) conduit box can be adapted to increase drive ratings.

Much like other Allen-Bradley Powerflex 40P AC drives, the 22D-B017N104 drive offers flexible, user-friendly control and programming options. It features an integral 4-digit backlit display and 10 LED indicators that provide information on the drive’s status, and a reset button for prompt modification of the drive's parameters if a fault occurs. The 22D-B017N104 drive can be programmed from a PC through its built-in RS-485 communications feature, but more flexible programming and control is achieved with a NEMA Type 1 hand-held remote LCD keypad or a NEMA Type 4X that feature the CopyCat function. For trouble-free operation and real-time drive and motor protection, the 22D-B017N104 drive provides overload protection, overcurrent protection, and a removable MOV-to-ground which can be easily removed if the drive is to be used with ungrounded distribution systems.
