VFD022E43A 2.2kW AC Drive 460V 3-Phase Built-in PLC | Delta

The Original New Delta VFD022E43A is a 2.2 kW (3 HP) AC variable frequency drive from the VFD-E series, designed for general-purpose motor control in industrial automation systems. Featuring sensorless vector control, a built-in PLC function, and a modular design, it delivers reliable speed and torque regulation for conveyors, pumps, fans, machine tools, and material handling equipment. The drive operates on 380–480 V three-phase input with 5.5 A rated output current and supports Modbus communication via RS-485. Built-in brake chopper and EMC filter simplify installation and reduce external component requirements. The VFD-E series is known for its compact "side-by-side" installation capability, allowing space-efficient panel layouts.
