22C-B017F103 3.7 kW 200…240V AC Fan/Pump Drive

What the 22C-B017F103 Delivers in Fan and Pump Service

The Allen-Bradley 22C-B017F103 is a PowerFlex 400 adjustable-frequency AC drive rated 3.7 kW (5 HP) with 17.5 A continuous output current. Its 200…240V AC, 3-phase input and IP20 flange-mount enclosure suit panel builders who need a verified fan-and-pump drive with built-in serial communications.

Because the catalog number decodes to emission class 0 (Not Filtered), the drive ships without an internal EMC filter. An external 22-RF034-CS line filter is required for EN 61800-3 compliance. That distinction matters at specification time, since the filter is a separate line item and a separate panel space allocation.

Electrical Specifications That Define the Application

The input stage accepts 200…240V AC, 3-phase at 48…63 Hz with ±10 % voltage tolerance. Single-phase operation provides 35 % rated current, so the 17.5 A rating holds only on a three-phase supply. Output voltage spans 0…230V three-phase, and output frequency is programmable from 0…320 Hz.

Isolation and control integrity are engineered into the I/O set. One analog input is isolated, accepting –10…+10V or 4…20 mA, while the second analog input is non-isolated. Two programmable Form C relay outputs and one opto output rated 30V DC at 50 mA handle status signaling. The drive uses sinusoidal PWM with Volts/Hertz control and an isolated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) output stage.

• Input voltage: 200…240V AC, 3-phase, ±10 % tolerance
• Output current: 17.5 A continuous at 45 °C and at 50 °C surrounding air
• Output power: 3.7 kW (5 HP)
• Isolation: one isolated analog input; isolated gate bipolar transistor output stage
• Overload: 110 % for up to 1 min
• Efficiency: 97.5 % at rated amps, nominal line voltage
• Power factor: 0.98 displacement across the speed range
• Carrier frequency: 2…10 kHz for Frame C, rating based on 4 kHz
• Communications: built-in RS-485 DSI with Modbus RTU, Metasys N2 and P1-FLN

How Do You Integrate This unit Into a Control Network?

The RJ45 DSI port uses only pins 4 and 5 for the RS-485 pair. Modbus RTU supports function codes 03, 06 and 16, with Logic Command at register 8192 and Reference at register 8193. Addressing may require a +1 offset depending on whether the master is 0-based or 1-based.

Multi-drop networks use shielded two-conductor daisy-chained cable with termination resistors at both ends. C103 [Comm Data Rate] defaults to 9600 bit/s, and C104 [Comm Node Addr] defaults to 100. For long runs or more than 32 nodes, RS-485 repeaters may be needed. Integration Note: wiring into fieldbus networks may require an external gateway or connection module; confirm cables and gateways with AutoDCSTech before ordering.

Installation and Protection Requirements

Branch short-circuit protection is not provided by the drive. Install either input fuses or an input circuit breaker; the recommended input fuse rating is 30 A using UL Class J, CC, T or Type BS88 fuses. The recommended branch-circuit protector is 140M-F8E-C25, and the recommended contactor is 100-C37 or 100-E38.

Frame C drives are published only with the IP20 / NEMA/UL Type Open enclosure. The field-installed 22-JBAC kit converts the drive to IP30 / NEMA 1 / UL Type 1. Maximum surrounding air temperature without derating is –10…+50 °C for the open enclosure and –10…+45 °C for the converted IP30 enclosure. Power dissipation is 207 W, so panel thermal design must account for that heat load.

Maintenance and Environmental Limits

Fan cooling applies to all drive ratings, making airflow path inspection the primary periodic task. The drive must not be installed where the ambient atmosphere contains volatile or corrosive gas, vapors or dust. Storage temperature spans –40…+85 °C for 2.2…7.5 kW drives, and relative humidity is 0…95 % non-condensing.

Altitude is limited to 1000 m without derating; above that, derating applies. For parameter-level detail and the complete ratings table, contact AutoDCSTech with your exact requirements for precise matching.
