The 1305-BA04A is an electronic hardware manufactured by Allen-Bradley that is used to provide speed control solution of induction AC motors. This hardware belongs to the 1305 Product Bulletin of Adjustable Frequency AC Drives.

The drive’s required input supply is a 3-Phase Voltage ranging from 380/460V. With an appropriate supply, the drive is capable of driving an AC induction motor through its output capabilities of 4.0 Amperes, 1.5 kilo Watt or 2.0 Horsepower. The frequency of this drive is programmable with range of 0-400 Hertz. Other parameters include Power Factor of 0.8 Lagging and Power Dissipation of 52 Watts.

This drive is provided with a SCANport communication terminal. With SCANport enabled, this drive may be attached with communication modules such as 1203-GD1, 1203-GD2 that is used to convert Remote I/O to SCANport messages to allow the drive accept instructions from Allen-Bradley controllers that is installed with a native RIO port or RIO communication module.

Additionally, this drive may be installed with communication adapter to allow direct connection to data communication networks such as Single Point Remote I/O Communication Module, RS232/RS422/RS485/DF1/DH485 Serial Communication Module, DeviceNet Communication Module, SLC/SCANport Module, Flex I/O SCANport Terminal Base with Module.

Other accessories that may be installed to this drive include Human Interface Module (HIM) that is used to configure the parameters of the drive and also utilized to locally control the unit, acknowledge and reset alarms. As this drive does not include this component, the mounting area of the HIM is installed with a blank plate to protect electrical connections. Furthermore, if Human Interface Module of other 1305 drive existing in the plant may be used for this unit.

The 1305-BA04A AC Drive by Allen-Bradley provides adjustable speed through frequencies for different applications. it is designed to control the speed of 3-phase motors used for induction processes. This variable frequency drive has a rating of 1.5kW. The 1305-BA04A is loaded with wide range of parameters which can meet the needs of various applications. This unit is also provided with a SCANport communication link which allows the user to have simple connections to a wide range of peripheral devices like DeviceNet, RS232/422/485, Flex I/O, and Remote I/O devices. The 1305-BA04A is a high-performance drive. It has an IR and slip compensation feature to increase the speed of the motor when needed and to provide better speed control when the load changes. One of the unique features of the 1305-BA04A is that it has foreign language compatibility. The 1305-BA04A supports 0-10V DC of speed input and the output current goes up to 4A. This unit is equipped with a remote potentiometer input. This unit also supports a 4-20mA analog speed input. The 1305-BA04A is a proven product and meets the demand of cyclic loads. The enclosure type it is provided with is the IP 30 (NEMA Type 1) with a voltage of 380-460V AC at 3-phase power. The 1305-BA04A has a Three-Phase Motor Rating of 1.5 kW. This 1305-BA04A Adjustable Frequency AC Drive has embedded temperature sensor trips to protect the drive from excessive temperatures. Additionally, the DC Bus voltage is monitored for over-voltage and under-voltage. Other protective features on the 1305-BA04A drive include Power Ride through, Control Ride through, Line Voltage Transients, Output Short Circuit, and Ground Short. The1305-BA04A Adjustable Frequency AC Drive also supports communication adapters to expand its communication abilities. Please note, the current draw of all attached adapters cannot exceed 250 milliamps.
