The 160-BA04NSF1 is a 160 SSC Variable Speed Controller that is manufactured and branded by Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Automation. It has a voltage rating of 380-460 Volts and an open, IP20 enclosure type rating. The 160-BA04NSF1 has analog signal follower control and a 3-Phase motor rating of 1.5 Kilowatts, or two (2) Horsepower. The 160-BA04NSF1 has an output current maximum of 4.0 Amperes and a power dissipation of 65 Watts. It has an input voltage frequency of 380/460 Volts, Three-Phase, 50/60 Hertz and an operational range between 340-506 Volts. Input (kVA) is 3.7 and it has an AC dynamic braking torque (with external dynamic brake module) of 150%; AC dynamic braking torque without external dynamic brake module is 50%. The cooling method used for this hardware is by fan.

Input and output specifications for the 160-BA04NSF1 include an output voltage that is adjustable from zero (0) Volts to input voltage, an output frequency of zero (0) to 240 Hertz programmable, and an efficiency of 97.5% (typical). Environmental specifications include IP20 enclosure type rating, an ambient temperature ranging between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius, and a storage temperature between -40 and 85 degrees Celsius. Relative humidity is 0% to 95% (non-condensing) and the 160-BA04NSF1 can withstand vibration rated at 1.0G (operational) and 2.5G (non-operational). The 160-BA04NSF1 can withstand shock of 15G (operational) and 30G (non-operational). It can function at altitudes up to 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) without derating. Agency certifications for the 160-BA04NSF1 include UL, CSA, and CE. It is designed to meet IEC 146-1-1, FCC Class A and B, and VDE 0871 and 0875 standards.

The 160-BA04NSF1 comes equipped with two LED indicator lights. The fault (red) indicator illuminates when a controller fault condition exists, and the ready (green) indicator illuminates when the controller is ready to run. The drive is equipped with various protective features, including overcurrent, excessive temperature, and overvoltage/undervoltage. The overcurrent is set at 200% of hardware limit and 300% results in an instantaneous fault. The 160-BA04NSF1 comes with an embedded temperature sensor. This sensor trips when heatsink temperature exceeds 95 degrees Celsius (203 degrees Fahrenheit). Since the 160-BA04NSF1 has an input voltage rating of 380-460 VAC, the undervoltage trip occurs at approximately 275 VAC. The drive needs a minimum clearance of 12.5 mm (0.5 inches) on all sides to be mounted. The 160-BA04NSF1 measures at 152 x 72 x 136 mm (6.00 x 2.83 x 5.4 in), in height by width by depth, respectively. The mounting screws should be tightened to a torque of 1.13-1.56 Nm (10-14 lb-in). This controller is intended to be commanded by control input signals that will start and stop the motor. A device that routinely disconnects then reapplies line power to the controller to start and stop the motor should not be used. If it is necessary to use this method to start and stop the motor, or if power cycling is frequent, make sure that it does not occur more than once a minute. All 160 SSC have been UL tested and are approved for use with a fuse, circuit breaker, or manual motor starter installed on the side of the controller.
