Allen-Bradley 1305-BA01A-FR Variable Frequency Drive

Allen-Bradley 1305-BA01A-FR is a Bulletin 1305 adjustable-frequency drive designed to speed-control three-phase induction motors in compact industrial layouts, with 380–460 V AC three-phase input and a 50/60 Hz service window. The BA01A variant provides about 0.5 HP (0.37 kW) of output power and a rated current near 1.3 A when powered from 380–460 V, making it suitable for small-motor applications such as pumps, fans, and light conveyors. The FR suffix indicates a French-language variant of the drive’s interface and documentation, and the enclosure is rated IP30 (NEMA Type 1) for indoor installation. It offers electronic overload protection that is adjustable roughly from 20% to 115% of the motor’s full-load current and uses straightforward three-phase control to deliver smooth start/stop and speed modulation in budget-conscious automation setups.
