160S-AA03NSF1

The 160S-AA03NSF1 is a Variable Speed Drive manufactured by Allen Bradley. The “S” in this part’s catalog number indicates that the drive is for Single-Phase AC motors only. The drive is compatible with an input power of 200 to 240 Volts. It has an output rating of 0.55 kW and a current rating of 3A. It also has an open enclosure with an IP20 rating. The 160S-AA03NSF1 has an analog signal follower and its dimensions are 152 x 80 x 165 millimeters with a weight of 0.94 kilograms. Just like other Allen Bradley Variable Speed Drives, the 160S-AA03NSF1 requires control input signals to start and stop the motor. It is not ideal to use a device that disconnects and reapplies the line power to the controller in order to stop and start the motor. The 160S-AA03NSF1, like all Bulletin 160 Smart Speed Controllers, can be used with a circuit breaker, a manual motor start, or a fuse on its line side.

The maximum circuit protective rating for this controller is four times the current rating; in the case of the 160S-AA-3NSF1, the value of the circuit protective rating is 12A. This series of 160 Bulletin Smart Speed Controllers, such as the 160S-AA03NSF1, are designed for systems or machines used in industrial environment. It has passed the tests required for CE certification regarding Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC. It also met the qualifications of the Council Directive 89/336 Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, the certifications of the driver to standards do not mean that the entire system conforms to them. It is important to consider all the elements of the system to ensure their total conformity with industry standards.
