PLC 25A-A2P5N104 0.4 kW 200–240V Single-Phase Input AC Drive

Product Overview

The 25A-A2P5N104 is a compact AC drive designed for controlling a three-phase motor from a 200–240V single-phase power supply. Its rated output is 2.5A, with a motor rating of 0.4 kW or 0.5 Hp under both normal-duty and heavy-duty operation. This Frame A unit has an IP20 open-type enclosure and does not include an internal EMC filter. It provides adjustable motor speed, programmable acceleration and deceleration, multiple stopping modes, local keypad operation and terminal-based control. Communication with a PLC or supervisory controller can be established through the built-in RS485 interface. The single-phase input arrangement makes this model particularly useful for small machines installed where a suitable three-phase incoming supply is unavailable. The connected motor must still be a compatible three-phase motor with voltage, current and power ratings that match the drive output.

Application Areas

Small Conveyor Systems--The 25A-A2P5N104 can regulate the speed of light-duty conveyor motors used for product transfer, sorting and positioning. Programmable acceleration and deceleration help limit sudden belt movement and reduce stress on couplings and conveyed materials.

Pumps and Ventilation Fans--It is suitable for small centrifugal pumps, extraction fans and ventilation units that require adjustable motor speed. Matching output frequency to actual demand can reduce unnecessary motor operation at full speed.

Packaging and Labeling Equipment--The drive can control motors used in compact packaging, labeling, feeding and sealing machines. Its digital and analog inputs allow operating commands and speed references to be supplied by sensors, switches or a PLC.

Mixers and Dosing Equipment--For small mixers, agitators and dosing mechanisms, the adjustable output frequency enables operating speed to be matched to the process. Controlled starting can also reduce abrupt loading on shafts, gearboxes and driven components.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can the 25A-A2P5N104 operate a three-phase motor from a single-phase supply?
Yes. The drive accepts a 200–240V single-phase input and produces an adjustable three-phase output. The connected motor must have voltage, current and power ratings compatible with the drive’s 0–230V output and 2.5A rating.

2. What motor size should be paired with this drive?
The specified motor rating is 0.4 kW or 0.5 Hp under both normal-duty and heavy-duty operation. The motor nameplate current must not exceed the drive’s rated output current of 2.5A.

3. Why is the maximum input current 6.5A when the output current is only 2.5A?
The 6.5A value applies to the single-phase AC input, while 2.5A is the rated three-phase motor output. These values are not directly interchangeable because the input rectifier, DC bus, conversion losses and phase arrangement affect supply-side current. Incoming conductors and protective devices should therefore be selected from the official input ratings and applicable electrical rules.
