22F-D024N104 New 4M 11 kW 15 HP AC Drive 22FD024N104
PRODUCT DETAILS
22F-D024N104 — Micro AC Drive, 480V Three-Phase, 0.75 kW, IP20
The 22F-D024N104 is the largest drive in the V-mini micro family at the 480V three-phase input configuration — rated 0.75 kW / 1 HP with a 2.4A output current. It brings the same compact 55 mm mounting width as the rest of the 22F range, which at 0.75 kW is noticeably narrower than equivalent drives in the 22A or 22B families.
Control architecture is V/Hz only. There's no sensorless vector mode and no option port for communication expansion — the 22F is intentionally a no-frills platform. What it does offer is reliable speed control in a very small space, with enough I/O for straightforward PLC-interfaced or standalone operation. For high-volume OEM applications where dozens of small drives populate a machine, the footprint saving adds up quickly.

Catalog Number Breakdown
The 22F catalog numbering follows a consistent pattern that tells you the key specs without opening a datasheet:
- 22F — V-mini micro drive series
- D — 380–480V AC three-phase input (A = 100–120V single-phase, B = 200–240V single-phase/three-phase)
- 024 — 2.4A output current
- N — no filter (N = standard; versions with built-in EMC filter use a different code)
- 104 — IP20 open type enclosure (113 = IP30 NEMA 1)
Once you understand the pattern, comparing catalog numbers across the 22F family makes it straightforward to identify the right drive for a given voltage, current, and enclosure requirement without cross-referencing multiple documents.
Installation Notes
- Input protection: fit a Class J or Class CC fuse rated per the drive's input current specification, or use a properly rated motor circuit protector. The drive has no internal branch circuit protection.
- Motor cable: keep total motor cable length under 30 m. Longer cables increase peak voltage at motor terminals due to reflected wave effects. If longer runs are unavoidable, fit an output reactor at the drive output terminals.
- EMC: the N104 variant has no internal EMC filter. For installations in residential or light commercial environments where CE conducted emission limits apply, an external input filter is required. Industrial environments (Category C3) are generally covered without a filter.
- Ambient derating: rated to 50°C ambient, but output current must be derated above 40°C — approximately 2% per degree Celsius. If the panel interior runs hot, factor this into the current rating check.
- Parameter documentation: the 22F has no onboard parameter backup port. After commissioning, record all non-default parameters. If a drive is replaced, the replacement needs manual reconfiguration — a written parameter list on the panel door saves significant time.
FAQ
Q: Is the 22F-D024N104 suitable for sensorless vector control?
No. The 22F series supports V/Hz control only. For sensorless vector, the 22A or 22B series drives at comparable power levels are the appropriate choice.
Q: Can I add a fieldbus communication card to this drive?
No, the 22F has no option port. Communication expansion is not available on this platform. If network connectivity is required, a 22A, 22B, or larger drive with an option port is needed.
Q: The analog input is 0–10V — can I use a 4–20 mA speed reference?
Not directly. A 500 Ω resistor across the analog input terminals converts a 4–20 mA signal to 2–10V, which can then be scaled in the drive parameters. Verify the signal source can drive the 500 Ω load before implementing this.
Q: What is the inrush current on startup?
Like all VFDs, the 22F charges its DC bus capacitors on first power application, which draws a brief inrush current. The drive includes a soft-charge circuit that limits this; however, input protection (fuse or breaker) must be sized for the inrush rating specified in the drive's technical data, not just the running current.
Q: Can multiple 22F-D024N104 drives share a single input fuse?
Not recommended. Each drive should have its own input protection device. A shared fuse provides no per-drive fault isolation — a fault on one drive could affect the others, and fault diagnosis becomes significantly harder.
