Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Allen-Bradley 22B-D010N104?
It is a Rockwell Automation PowerFlex 40 variable frequency drive rated for a 4 kW (5 HP) three-phase AC motor, with 380–480 VAC input, integrated RS485 communication and an IP20 Frame B enclosure.
What is the motor power rating?
The manufacturer specifies a rated motor power of 4 kW, equivalent to 5 HP.
What input voltage does the drive require?
The drive requires a nominal 380–480 VAC three-phase supply at 50/60 Hz. The PowerFlex 40 manual specifies an operating input voltage range of 342–528 VAC for this drive class.
What is the rated output current?
The manufacturer's PowerFlex 40 user manual lists 10.5 A for 22B-D010N104. Some abbreviated product listings round the description to 10 A, so the installation and motor selection should use the applicable official ratings and nameplate.
Is this a single-phase or three-phase drive?
The 22B-D010N104 is a three-phase input drive intended for suitable three-phase AC motors. It should not be treated as a single-phase input model.
What control methods are supported?
The PowerFlex 40 series supports sensorless vector control and volts-per-hertz control. The appropriate method and motor parameters must be configured for the application.
Does 22B-D010N104 support RS485 communication?
Yes. It includes an RS485 DSI interface supporting compatible drive communications and Modbus RTU when configured in accordance with the Rockwell Automation user manual.
Does the drive have a built-in keypad?
Yes. It includes an integrated LED display and digital keypad for parameter programming, monitoring and fault diagnostics.
What is the enclosure protection rating?
The drive is rated IP20, NEMA/UL Type Open. It is intended for installation in an appropriate industrial control cabinet and is not a standalone waterproof drive.
Does this model include an EMC filter?
No. The 22B-D010N104 configuration is specified without an integrated CE-compliant EMC filter. An external filtering solution may be required depending on applicable installation and emissions requirements.
Does the drive support dynamic braking?
Yes. The configuration includes an internal brake IGBT. A suitably selected external dynamic braking resistor and appropriate protection are required where the application calls for resistor-based braking.
What is the difference between 22B-D010N104 and 22B-D010F104?
Both are PowerFlex 40 drives with comparable 480 V-class and 4 kW ratings. The N104 version is a panel-mounted IP20 configuration, while the F104 is a flange-mount configuration. Verify installation dimensions and cooling requirements before substituting one for the other.
Is Allen-Bradley 22B-D010N104 discontinued?
Yes. Rockwell Automation identifies June 30, 2025 as the discontinuation date and lists 25B-D010N104 as an engineering replacement. The new model should not be assumed to be a direct installation replacement without reviewing wiring, parameters, dimensions and communication compatibility.
Can the 25B-D010N104 replace the 22B-D010N104?
Rockwell Automation identifies the PowerFlex 525 model 25B-D010N104 as an engineering replacement. A qualified engineer should compare motor ratings, control wiring, parameter mapping, protection settings, mechanical mounting and network communication before migration.
What should be checked before ordering?
Confirm the complete catalog number 22B-D010N104, 380–480 VAC three-phase input, 4 kW (5 HP) motor rating, 10.5 A manual-rated output current, Frame B mounting, IP20 enclosure, RS485 DSI interface, fixed LED keypad, unfiltered EMC configuration, braking requirements and compatibility with the existing motor and control system.
