Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 160-BA02NPS1 is a Bulletin 160 Smart Speed Controller (SSC), a compact variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for speed control of three-phase induction AC motors. It is microprocessor-controlled and fully programmable, accepting a 380–460V three-phase input and delivering up to 2.3A output current at a 0.75kW (1 HP) motor rating. This is the Preset Speed (NPS1) variant, offering up to eight user-defined preset speeds via open-collector control inputs, and features Sine Weighted PWM with Harmonic Compensation using IGBT switching technology.
