PRODUCT DETAILS
22F-D013N104 — Micro AC Drive, 480V Three-Phase, 0.37 kW, IP20
The 22F-D013N104 is a micro variable frequency drive in the V-mini series, a platform designed specifically for applications where panel space is extremely tight. It runs on 380–480V AC three-phase input, delivers 0.37 kW / 0.5 HP, and outputs 1.3A to the motor. The enclosure is IP20 open type, intended for panel mounting in a clean, ventilated environment.
What distinguishes the V-mini from larger drive families isn't power rating — it's physical size. The drive's footprint is significantly smaller than a standard frame A drive at the same power level, which matters when mounting rail space is at a premium. Feature set is intentionally lean: V/Hz control, a set of configurable digital inputs, one analog input, and one relay output. No embedded fieldbus, no safety STO input — it's built for applications that need reliable variable-speed control without complexity.

Installation Checklist
The 22F installs quickly but a few steps are worth confirming before power-up:
- Clearance: maintain a minimum 25 mm above and below the drive for airflow. Side clearance can be zero — drives can be mounted contiguous — but only up to the thermal derating limit of the combined installation.
- Input protection: fit a properly rated circuit breaker or fuse set on the input supply. The drive has no internal branch circuit protection.
- Motor cable length: keep motor cables to 30 m or less. Beyond 30 m, reflected wave voltage at motor terminals can stress motor insulation. If longer runs are unavoidable, an output reactor is recommended.
- Control wiring separation: route control wiring (digital inputs, analog input) separately from power wiring. Run them in different cable ducts or maintain at least 100 mm separation where they must run parallel.
- Parameter backup: once commissioned, record the parameter set. The 22F has no memory backup cartridge. Photograph or document all changed parameters so a replacement drive can be configured quickly.
Fault Code Quick Reference
The 22F displays fault codes on its built-in LED display. The most common faults encountered during commissioning and operation:
| Fault Code | Meaning | Typical Cause |
|---|---|---|
| F2 | Auxiliary Input | Digital input configured as auxiliary is open — check wiring or input parameter assignment |
| F3 | Power Loss | Input voltage dropout; check supply stability |
| F4 | Undervoltage | Input below minimum threshold; check supply voltage under load |
| F5 | Overvoltage | DC bus exceeded limit; usually caused by regenerative load with no braking resistor |
| F6 | Motor Stall | Motor current exceeded stall threshold; check motor sizing and load |
| F7 | Motor Overload | Electronic overload trip; check motor current vs. drive current rating |
| F12 | HW Overcurrent | Hardware overcurrent — check for motor short circuit or incorrect motor data |
| F33 | Auto-Restart Tries | Auto-restart limit reached; underlying fault must be resolved |
FAQ
Q: Can multiple 22F drives be mounted side by side with no gap?
Yes, zero side clearance is permitted. However, when grouping drives contiguously, check the combined heat output against the enclosure's thermal capacity. Derate output current if ambient temperature inside the enclosure exceeds 40°C.
Q: Is there a way to add a network communication port to the 22F?
No. The 22F has no option port and no provision for communication card expansion. For applications requiring DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, or other fieldbus connectivity, the 22A or 22B series drives with an option port are the appropriate choice.
Q: The analog input is 0–10V only — can it accept 4–20 mA?
Not natively. The 22F analog input is voltage-only. A 4–20 mA signal can be converted to 0–10V using a 500 Ω precision resistor across the input terminals, but verify the signal source can drive the resistive load before doing so.
Q: What's the minimum speed the drive can maintain reliably?
With V/Hz control, motor torque drops off at low frequencies. For general-purpose loads, reliable operation typically starts around 5–10 Hz. Running a fully-loaded motor below this range for extended periods can cause overheating due to reduced fan cooling on standard self-cooled motors.
Q: Can the 22F be used on a 208V or 240V three-phase supply?
No. The 22F-D013N104 is rated for 380–480V AC three-phase. A different catalog number with the appropriate voltage rating is needed for 208V or 240V supplies.
