Rated for 3 HP (2.2 kW) of motor output at 230 V class, it covers the small-frame applications the VFD-M series was built around without stepping into the higher-power MS300/CP2000 line. Sensorless vector control on a 10 A continuous output stage means the drive can hold torque at low speed without an encoder — useful on conveyors that stall under load and on small pumps where the starting torque matters more than absolute speed accuracy. ## Input side: single-phase 230 V with three-phase tolerance The input stage is rated Single/3-phase 200-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, with ± 10% voltage tolerance (180-264 VAC) and ± 5% frequency tolerance (47-63 Hz). The Single/3-phase input current rating is 11.5/7.6 A — the drive accepts either wiring configuration without a hardware change, but if a single-phase model is fed from a 3-phase supply the input draw rises to 27 A, which has to be sized into the branch protection on a single-phase input application. Single-phase 230 V is the version code '21' in the VFD-M suffix — picking the wrong suffix is the most common cross-reference error with this family, so confirm the supply at the panel before specifying the code. ## Output side: 10 A continuous, 0.1-400 Hz The output stage delivers 10 A rated current at 3.8 kVA rated capacity, with a maximum output voltage that tracks the input 1:1 (3-phase proportional to input). Output frequency spans 0.1-400 Hz, covering constant-torque low-speed work down to fractional Hz and high-speed fan or spindle applications up through the standard 400 Hz ceiling. Carrier frequency is adjustable from 1-15 kHz; pushing it up quiets motor acoustics but adds switching loss to the IGBT stage, so the 10 A continuous figure applies at the default carrier and the drive derates as the carrier rises into the audible-noise-sensitive range. ## Sourcing posture and supply channel Standard lead-time estimate is 1-10 working days on the channel, and unit pricing and confirmed availability come back against the RFQ — add the VFD022M21A to the BOM quantity and request a quote for current stock and price-break terms.","metaTitle":"Delta VFD022M21A VFD-M Drive, 2.2 kW, 1-Phase 230V","metaDescription":"Delta VFD022M21A sensorless vector micro drive, 2.2 kW / 3 HP at 230 V single-phase input, 0.1–400 Hz output, available to order against an RFQ.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["AC Drive (VFD) 240V"],"specifications":{"title":"VFD022M21A","Weight":"3.2 kg","Product no":"VFD022M21A","description":"General Sensorless Vector Control Micro Drives VFD-M Series","Input Rating":"Rated Input Current : Single/3-phase , 11.5/7.6 Input Current for 1-phase Models when Using 3-phase Power : 27 Rated Voltage, Frequency : Single/3-phase 200-240 VAC, 50/60Hz Voltage Tolerance : ± 10% (180~264 VAC) Frequency Tolerance : ± 5% (47~63 Hz)","Product type":"General Sensorless Vector Control Micro Drives VFD-M Series","Version Type":"A","Input Voltage":"21 - Single phase 230V","Output Rating":"Rated Output Capacity (kVA) : 3.8 Rated Output Current (A) : 10 Maximum Output Voltage (V) : 3-phase Proportional to Input Voltage Output Frequency (Hz) : 0.1~400 Hz Carrier Frequency (kHz) : 1-15","Voltage Class":"230V Class","Cooling Method":"Fan Cooled","Shipping Weight":"5 Kg","lifecycle_stage":"current","Voltage Tolerance":"± 10% (180~264 VAC)","Estimated Lead Time":"Usually ships in 1-10 working days.","Frequency Tolerance":"± 5% (47~63 Hz)","Rated Input Current":"Single/3-phase , 11.5/7.6","Output Frequency (Hz)":"0.1~400 Hz","Carrier Frequency (kHz)":"1-15","Rated Output Current (A)":"10","Rated Voltage, Frequency":"Single/3-phase 200-240 VAC, 50/60Hz","Applicable motor capacity":"022 - 3 HP(2.2kW)","Maximum Output Voltage (V)":"3-phase Proportional to Input Voltage","Rated Output Capacity (kVA)":"3.8","Max.
