The 190-P160 model from Allen Bradley is a trip unit designed as a critical component of motor protection systems. It allows for precise adjustments within a thermal current range of 10 to 16 amperes, while the magnetic trip range is tunable from 130 to 220 amperes. This versatility is key for ensuring that the equipment can withstand various operating conditions in industrial settings.
Estimating motor capacities, the unit is rated for up to 5 horsepower for 3-phase motors operating at 230 V and can handle 10 horsepower at 460 V. It is suitable for environments at altitudes of up to 3000 meters, establishing its functionality in high-elevation installations.
Regarding thermal stability, the 190-P160 can thrive in varying temperatures, with open storage allowing between -25 °C and 70 °C, while enclosed systems are limited to -25 °C to 40 °C. Included in its design is an ambient operating temperature compensation feature, specifically aimed at overload conditions, enhancing reliability. The maximum allowable fuse or breaker size for this unit, as referenced in the U.S. NEC Table 430-152, is rated at 500 A when using the trip unit alone.
It meets multiple certifications including IEC947-2, UL508, and CSA C22.2 No.14, which validate its safety and industrial compatibility. This trip unit is constructed for industrial environments without exposure to corrosive gases. Additionally, it demonstrates low thermal residual trip errors, less than 5% at 40 °C and under 10% at 60 °C, ensuring dependable performance under varying thermal conditions.
