The 25A-A2P5N104 is an Allen Bradley drive belonging to the Powerflex 523 Adjustable Frequency Drive series. It has a 0.5 Horsepower (0.4 kW), 200 to 240 Volts AC of input voltage, and a 2.5 A Single Phase rating for an IP20 (NEMA Type 1) enclosure. The 25A-A2P5N104 PowerFlex 523 is an Adjustable Frequency Drive that works with single phase or three phase induction motors. The drive can operate with a 0.5 Horsepower (0.4 kW) motor rating both, at either three phases or at one phase. The AC Drives operates with several control modes, including Sinusoidal PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), Volts/Hertz mode, Sensorless Vector Control, and Economizer Sensorless Vector control. This drive’s one-phase or three-phase variable frequency PWM (Pulse-width modulation) signal provides adjustable speeds for AC induction motors. The PowerFlex 523 25A-A2P5N104 drive has an operating input voltage ranging from 200 to 240 Volts AC (170 to 264 Volts of operational voltage) for a one-phase supply. Its output voltage is adjustable from 0 to its rated motor voltage and this module’s frequency can be adjusted from 0 to 500 Hertz, while it is in its programmable mode. The 25A-A2P5N104 AC Drive has a typical efficiency standard of 97.5%. When the 25A-A2P5N104 Adjustable Frequency Drive operates under a Sine Weighted PWM output algorithm, can produce a carrier frequency from 2 kiloHertz to 16 kiloHertz. Its rated performance is based on a 4 kiloHertz frequency. Its environmental operating conditions are somewhere between -20 and 50 degrees Celsius and it has a relative humidity range of 0% to 95%. The 25A-A2P5N104 PowerFlex 523 has natural convection cooling capabilities but also can be provided with an optional Control Module Fan Kit for improved cooling. This drive supports operational vibration up to its 1G limit. The 25A-A2P5N104 drive control inputs and can be configurable with analog and digital inputs. Its 5 digital inputs can be broken down as one (1) dedicated to stopping and four (4) programmable source Mode and Sink mode Type and Pulse Train inputs.
