Allen-Bradley 2100 2163N Variable Frequency Drive

Allen-Bradley Centerline 2100 MCC bucket housing a 2163N variable frequency drive is a compact, mid‑size drive assembly designed to run a single 3‑phase motor up to 5 horsepower on a 480 V, 60 Hz power supply, with a full‑load current rating of 8.4 A. Configured in a 25‑inch MCC bucket, this unit fits within standard Centerline 2100 motor control centers, delivering integrated speed control and motor protection in a single cabinet footprint. The 2163N drive inside the bucket provides adjustable‑frequency control for compatible 3‑phase motors, enabling smoother acceleration, deceleration, and torque management in applications like conveyors, pumps, and fans found in manufacturing, processing, and material‑handling environments. By pairing a 5 HP, 480 V, 60 Hz drive with the Centerline 2100 bucket, it supports centralized control and streamlined wiring within an existing MCC lineup, simplifying installation and service in retrofit or new installations. The model designation 2163N identifies the specific drive unit configured in this 25‑inch bucket, allowing straightforward replacement within compatible Centerline 2100 installations.
