June 23, 2026 • 3 min read • wayne • Guide

Product Summary

The 22F-RF9P5-AL is an Allen-Bradley EMC filter kit designed for PowerFlex 4M drives. This L-type filter operates at 240V AC with three phases. It supports a power range from 0.2 to 1.5 kW. The filter handles a continuous current of 9.5 Amps. Its panel-mount design carries an IP20 rating for basic protection.

Product Procurement & Buyer Guide

Procurement managers must verify voltage compatibility before ordering. The 22F-RF9P5-AL specifically supports a 240V AC three-phase system. This model operates at both 50 and 60 Hz frequencies. It matches drives rated between 0.25 and 2 Horsepower.

You must confirm your drive model before purchasing this filter. The 22F-RF9P5-AL works exclusively with PowerFlex 4M drives. It does not fit the PowerFlex 4 or 40 series. Always check the drive catalog number for proper matching.

This filter kit comes with an open-style, mountable design. It meets both UL and NEMA Type Open standards. The IP20 rating means it suits indoor use only. Do not install this unit in wet or dusty environments.

Application engineers should note the filter type classification. This is an L-type EMC filter for conducted emissions. It reduces electrical noise on the input power lines. Choose this model for standard cable length applications.

Step-by-Step User & Installation Guide

Begin by mounting the filter on a flat panel surface. Use the provided screw holes for secure attachment. Ensure the mounting area has proper clearance around it. The IP20 rating requires no special sealing procedures.

Connect the input power wires to the filter terminals. The filter handles a maximum of 9.5 Amps continuous current. Use appropriately sized copper wire for the connection. Verify the line voltage matches 240V AC before powering.

Wire the filter output directly to the PowerFlex 4M drive input. The filter reduces electromagnetic interference from the drive. Keep the filter close to the drive for best results. Short wire runs improve the filtering performance significantly.

Check all connections for tightness before applying power. The filter requires no external cooling or ventilation. Its open-style design allows for natural heat dissipation. Confirm the drive parameters match the filter specifications.

Comparative Analysis & Alternative Matrix

The 22F-RF9P5-AL differs from the 22F-RF6P0-AL model. The 22F-RF6P0-AL supports 480V AC systems at 6 Amps. Your 22F-RF9P5-AL operates at 240V AC with 9.5 Amps. Choose based on your specific input voltage requirement.

Another alternative is the 22F-RF9P5-AS model. The "-AS" suffix indicates an S-type filter. Your "-AL" suffix designates an L-type filter construction. The S-type suits short cable lengths while L-type fits longer runs.

Both models share the same power range of 0.2 to 1.5 kW. They both mount to a panel with IP20 protection. The key difference lies in the filter topology and voltage. Always match the filter type to your cable length.
