Allen-Bradley 22C-D060A103

The Allen-Bradley 22C-D060A103 is a specialized component in industrial automation and control systems specifically designed to regulate the speed and torque of electric motors. As a member of the PowerFlex 400 series, this device is primarily engineered for fan and pump applications, showcasing its versatility and efficiency in various industrial environments.

Technical Specifications:

The Allen-Bradley 22C-D060A103 is engineered with various technical specifications that cater to various industrial requirements. At the forefront of its design is the input voltage specification, rated at 380 – 480 V AC. This range is particularly suitable for industrial settings with common higher voltage levels.

The output power of the 22C-D060A103 is rated at 34.0 kW (40.0 HP). This power output level makes the device suitable for controlling medium to large motors, commonly found in industrial fan and pump applications.

The device is rated at 60.0 A at 45 degrees Celsius and 54.0 A at 50 degrees Celsius. This variation in current rating with temperature underscores the device’s capability to maintain performance under different operating temperatures. The input current specification of the device stands at 64.0 A, indicating its consumption capability and aligning with the overall power management of the system it is integrated into.

Protection Features:

The Allen-Bradley 22C-D060A103 is equipped with advanced protective measures to ensure the safety and longevity of the drive under various electrical conditions. The drive is designed with a specific threshold for bus overvoltage, set at 810 V for the DC bus voltage. This threshold corresponds to an AC incoming line voltage of 575 V. Conversely, the drive also features a bus undervoltage protection mechanism, where the trip point is set at 390 V for the DC bus voltage, equivalent to 275 V for the AC incoming line.

Regarding current protection, the drive boasts a robust overcurrent protection system. It has a hardware limit set to trip at 200 % of the rated current, providing a safeguard against moderate overcurrent scenarios.

Another key protective feature of the 22C-D060A103 is its ground fault protection. This safety mechanism is designed to detect phase-to-ground faults on the drive’s output, ensuring immediate action in the event of such faults to prevent damage to the drive and connected equipment.

Installation Environment Guidelines:

When setting up the Allen-Bradley 22C-D060A103, part of the PowerFlex 400 series, ensuring the installation environment is suitable for its operation is crucial. The drive is designed to function optimally in environments free from corrosive liquids. Exposure to such substances can significantly impact the drive’s performance and longevity.

Additionally, the drive should be protected from direct contact with liquids. Moreover, it’s important to consider the location’s exposure to sunlight and extreme ultraviolet (UV) rays, as prolonged exposure can degrade the drive’s components over time.
