The Allen-Bradley 22B-A5P0N104 is a PowerFlex 40 series AC drive module designed for reliable variable speed control of small industrial motors in the 0.75 kW (1 HP) range. It delivers consistent V/Hz scalar control, making it well suited for conveyors, small pumps, fans, and general OEM machinery where simplicity, cost efficiency, and dependable operation are key priorities.
This model is commonly used in 240V single-phase input systems, converting it into a stable three-phase output for standard AC motors. It is valued in both OEM designs and retrofit environments due to its compact structure, easy commissioning, and long-term field reliability in industrial environments.
The model belongs to the widely deployed PowerFlex 40 family and is now typically used in maintenance scenarios and spare-part-driven applications, with newer PowerFlex 525-based equivalents recommended for new designs.
