22A-D1P4N104 — 160W AC Drive, 480V Three-Phase Input, 1.4A Output

The 22A-D1P4N104 is a compact variable frequency drive in the 160W / 0.2 HP class, taking 380–480V AC three-phase input and delivering up to 1.4A to the motor. It belongs to the 22A (VFD-A) series, which is a straightforward general-purpose drive family: no embedded fieldbus, no safety functions, just reliable motor speed control in a small footprint.

Standard V/Hz control handles most general-purpose loads. Where better low-speed torque is needed — fans that need a controlled ramp, pumps requiring stable pressure at varying speeds — sensorless vector mode provides improved torque regulation without adding encoder hardware. The drive includes a basic HIM port for a handheld keypad and an analog/digital I/O set adequate for standalone or simple PLC-interfaced operation.

Drive Setup in Four Steps

Most installations can be commissioned without a laptop or software. The onboard parameter set covers everything needed for basic operation:

Set motor nameplate data — enter motor rated voltage, rated current, rated frequency, and rated speed (RPM) into the corresponding parameters. This is the foundation for both V/Hz and SVC modes.
Select speed reference source — choose between analog input (0–10V or 4–20 mA), digital preset speeds, or the HIM keypad. The default is usually the HIM; change to analog input for PLC control.
Set acceleration and deceleration times — default is 10 seconds each way. Adjust based on the load inertia and process requirements.
Run a static autotune — for SVC mode, run the autotune routine with the motor stationary. The drive measures motor resistance and inductance, then calculates optimal control parameters. Takes about 30 seconds.

Typical Use Cases

At 160W, this drive is at the small end of the industrial drive range. It suits motor loads where the power is genuinely in the sub-0.5 HP range:

Small conveyor belt rollers and parts feeders on assembly lines
Low-flow pump drives in chemical dosing or cooling water systems
Agitator and mixer drives in laboratory or pilot plant equipment
Exhaust fan drives in enclosures or small ventilation systems
Capstan and take-up reel drives in cable and wire processing

FAQ

Q: Can this drive run on single-phase 480V input?

No, the 22A series requires three-phase input. Single-phase operation causes DC bus imbalance and will damage the drive. A three-phase supply is mandatory.

Q: Does the drive have a built-in braking resistor connection?

The 22A frame A drives include an internal dynamic braking transistor but no internal resistor. An external braking resistor connects to the dedicated DB terminals if fast deceleration is needed.

Q: What communication options are available?

The native port is DSI (RS-485). Adding a 22-COMM-E EtherNet/IP card or 22-COMM-D DeviceNet card to the option port expands network connectivity without replacing the drive.

Q: How does sensorless vector differ from V/Hz in practice?

V/Hz maintains a fixed voltage-to-frequency ratio. SVC actively estimates motor flux and adjusts output to maintain torque, particularly at low speeds. For loads that need consistent torque below 20 Hz — like a pump starting against a loaded system — SVC is the better choice.
