160-BA06NPS1

The 160-BA06NPS1 is part of the bulletin 160 Smart Speed Controller (SSC) series by Allen-Bradley. This device is specifically a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) which is more popularly termed as Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). It is mainly used to implement modulating speed control of industrial, 3-phase AC motors. The 160-BA06NPS1 is a Preset Speed Model drive. With preset speed, this drive implements speed modulation via predefined speed settings configured by the user stored in drive parameters 61-68. This drive allows the configuration of up to 8 preset speeds and 2 acceleration and deceleration settings. The preset speeds are delivered by the 160-BA06NPS1 to the output terminals when triggered by the external switches wired to the open collector inputs available to the input terminals of this drive. Aside from these inputs, the 160-BA06NPS1 has a Form C relay contact output that can be used with resistive and inductive loads. The 160-BA06NPS1’s nominal input voltage rating is 380-460 VAC, 3-Phase along with an input current of 7.0 Amperes. It has an output voltage of 380-460 VAC, 3-Phase, the programmable output frequency of 0-240 Hz, output current, and power of 6.0 Amperes and 3.0 HP or 2.2 kW, respectively. This drive has an IP20 rated enclosure with an ambient temperature of 0 to 50 Degree Celsius storage temperature of -40 to 85 Degree Celsius and relative humidity of 0-95%, non-condensing. This drive implements Pulse Width Algorithm (PWM) technology and IGBT circuit for generating 3-Phase output frequency. It implements speed control using the Volts/Hertz (V/Hz) control method.
