Allen-Bradley 160-BA03NPS1P1 Drive Motor Control

The Allen-Bradley 160-BA03NPS1P1 Drive Motor Control is a compact Smart Speed Controller (SSC) for three-phase induction motors, part of Allen-Bradley’s 160 SSC family that provides variable speed control in a small footprint. It includes a built-in keypad module for local programming and motor control, delivering start, stop and reverse functions while enabling on-unit parameter monitoring; DriveExplorer software can be used for broader monitoring and configuration. The drive is rated for 380–460 V three-phase input, making it suitable for mid-range industrial motors, and ships with firmware revision FRN 7.06. The suffix P1 denotes the keypad-enabled configuration within the model lineup, and the unit’s compact panel-mount form factor supports integration in tight control enclosures. In normal operation, it provides speed-reference control for precise motor speed and torque management on three-phase induction motors, a practical choice for streamlined automation tasks such as conveyors, pumps, and fans where simple, reliable drive control is required without a full PLC-based drive system.
