The Allen-Bradley 22B-A8P0N104 is a PowerFlex 40 series AC drive module designed for reliable variable speed control of 3-phase industrial motors up to 5 HP (3.7 kW). It delivers stable V/Hz scalar control, making it ideal for standard automation applications such as conveyors, pumps, fans, mixers, and OEM machinery where consistent torque performance and easy setup are essential.
This model operates in the 240V single-phase input class, converting it into a controlled three-phase output for industrial motors. It is widely used in OEM equipment and retrofit systems due to its compact Frame B design, integrated keypad interface, and robust industrial reliability.
Although now discontinued in many regions, it remains highly common in maintenance and spare-part-driven industrial environments because of its large installed base and long service life.
