The 25B-V6P0N104 is a highly capable 1-phase air-cooled drive that mixes and matches a wide range of functions and features not included in previous models. The 25B-V6P0N104 drives come with a standard control module that can be used across all available power range capabilities of the device. USB functionality and PC connectivity via the MainsFree app allow for greater flexibility and customization options through uploading and downloading for the 25B-V6P0N104. The 25B-V6P0N104 also supports a wide range of motors functions including closed-loop velocity vector control and sensorless vector control. The 25B-V6P0N104 has an input voltage rating within the range of 100 to 120 Volts AC and has a current rating of 6 Amps and a wattage rating of 1.1 kilowatts. The frequency rating of the 25B-V6P0N104 ranges between 50 and 60 Hertz with a power rating of 0.98. The 25B-V6P0N104 has a fixed terminal connection with an integrated display that comes with a keypad and potentiometer. The ideal storage temperature for the 25B-V6P0N104 ranges between -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. The 25B-V6P0N104 has a panel type mounting which requires a NEMA-approved open-type IP20 enclosure for a successful installation. The Point stop feature allows the motor load to stop in a consistent position without needing any support from encoder feedback. The dimensions of the 25B-V6P0N104 stand at 7.09 x 3.43 x 677 inches in height, width, and depth. The Allen-Bradley 25B-V6P0N104 is part of the PowerFlex 520 series of Adjustable Frequency AC Drives. Specifically, it belongs to the PowerFlex 525 drive series which is generally referred to as a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), Variable Speed Drive (VSD), Frequency Inverter, or inverter by most personnel. Regardless of the term being used to refer to this electronic device, the 25B-V6P0N104’s primary use is to implement speed or torque control of an industrial AC motor. Speed or torque control is required by many processes nowadays due to the required accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency when operating a specific process or an entire plant. Most processes require modulation to enable multiple points of control aside from the traditional, two (2) position control or on/off control. The 25B-V6P0N104 is capable of multi-position control as it comes with the capability of implementing a variety of control methods such as Volts/Hertz control for speed control; Sensorless Vector Control (SVC) for torque control; Closed Loop Velocity Vector Control, and Permanent Magnet Motor Control for basic position control. The 25B-V6P0N104 controls the connected AC motor by conditioning the input voltage applied to its input terminal. The applicable input voltage range is 85-132 Volts AC, 3-Phase. Using the selected control method, the drive delivers an output voltage of 0-230 Volts AC, 3-Phase along with an output current of 6.0 Amperes and 1.5 Horsepower - or 1.1 Kilowatt of output power. Additionally, this drive has an output frequency of 0-500 Hertz, which is fully programmable with an efficiency of 97.5 %, typical. Aside from implementing motor control, the 25B-V6P0N104 and other adjustable Frequency AC drives may be used to lower energy consumption.
