The Emerson SP1402 Unidrive SP Series AC Drive is a variable-speed drive for industrial AC motor applications that require adjustable speed, controlled acceleration and configurable motor response. It belongs to the Unidrive SP platform, which supports multiple motor-control modes and can be configured to suit different machine operating requirements.
The SP1402 has a Heavy Duty continuous output current rating of 3.0 A and a Normal Duty rating of 3.8 A. These ratings distinguish applications with higher overload demands from those operating under less demanding load conditions. Selection should be based on the motor’s rated current, the required overload performance and the actual load profile, rather than motor power alone.
In an automated machine, the drive receives run commands and speed references from local controls or a machine controller. Its configured parameters determine how the motor responds to changes in demand, including acceleration, deceleration and operating limits. Drive status and fault information can also be incorporated into maintenance procedures to help diagnose problems involving the motor, supply, control signals or driven equipment.

The SP1402 converts its AC input power into a controlled electrical output for the connected motor. The drive’s power electronics regulate the output according to the selected control mode, motor parameters and incoming operating commands. Changes to the speed reference affect motor operation within the configured limits.
The drive’s current rating depends on the selected duty. In Heavy Duty operation, the maximum continuous output-current rating is 3.0 A; in Normal Duty operation, it is 3.8 A. The application must be evaluated against the appropriate rating, including starting demand, overload requirements and the load’s behavior during normal operation.
Acceleration and deceleration parameters govern how the motor responds when the command changes. Ramp settings that are too aggressive can place unnecessary stress on connected machinery, while overly slow ramps may prevent the process from meeting its required cycle time. Appropriate settings depend on the driven load and the machine’s operating sequence.
The drive also monitors its internal operating conditions and can report faults that interrupt normal operation. Troubleshooting should consider the displayed fault information, motor wiring, input supply, parameter settings and external command signals before changing the configuration.
The SP1402 acts as the variable-speed control layer between the electrical supply, machine controller and motor. It executes the configured motor-control strategy while allowing the wider automation system to coordinate starts, stops, speed changes and fault responses.

| Model | Product Type | Relationship | Selection Consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emerson SP1401 | Unidrive SP AC Drive | Lower-rated model in the same product group | Compare its 2.1 A Heavy Duty and 2.8 A Normal Duty ratings with the application |
| Emerson SP1403 | Unidrive SP AC Drive | Higher-rated model in the same product group | Evaluate when the required motor current exceeds the SP1402’s suitable rating |
| Emerson SP1404 | Unidrive SP AC Drive | Higher-current model in the SP1400 range | Verify the required duty rating and supply configuration before selecting |
| Emerson SP1405 | Unidrive SP AC Drive | Higher-rated model in the same series | Compare its electrical ratings and application requirements before considering substitution |
Compare the motor’s rated current with the drive’s continuous output-current rating for the intended duty. Heavy Duty operation is rated at 3.0 A, while Normal Duty operation is rated at 3.8 A. The required overload performance and the machine’s actual load profile should guide selection.
Review the recorded fault, acceleration ramp, motor nameplate parameters, load condition and supply stability. Also verify that the motor’s current demand is suitable for the selected duty rating before changing protection or control settings.
Yes, where the PLC and drive use a compatible control interface. The run command, speed reference, enable conditions and fault response should be mapped and tested as part of the machine’s control sequence.
Record the motor data, duty selection, control mode, speed limits, acceleration and deceleration settings, command assignments and any installed option modules. These details help reproduce the previous operating behavior and reduce commissioning time after replacement.
