Product Description:

The B160 DC motor controller is part of the series quadraline regenerative drives manufactured by Danaher. It has a compact design and weighs 2.93 kg. The B1 DC motor controller is ideal for precise motor speed and torque adjustments, designed for reliable and stable motor performance. It supports a humidity range up to 95% and the maximum altitude for operation is 3300 feet (1000m).

The B160 regenerative DC motor controller operates on 115 or 230 VAC ±10% input voltage and frequency 50/60 Hz ± 2 Hz. It supports a horsepower range of ¼–1 HP at 115V and ½–2 HP at 230V. The B1 DC motor controller provides 0–90 VDC armature voltage at 115V and 0–180 VDC armature voltage at 230V while the field voltage is 50/100 VDC for 115V supply and 100/200 VDC for a 230V supply. It operates within 0–55°C for chassis models while the enclosed models function between 0–40°C. The B1 DC motor controller’s speed range is 30:1 with armature voltage feedback and extends to 50:1 with tach-generator feedback. The speed regulation for 95% load is ±2% with armature voltage feedback and improves to ½–1% with tachometer feedback. The B1 thermal controller has a current range from 2.5 to 10 Amps DC.

The B160 regenerative DC motor controller’s maximum speed is 75–110% of the motor base speed and the minimum speed can be adjusted between 0–30%. Its IR compensation is adjustable for optimized performance. The B1 DC motor controller has acceleration setting between 1–5 seconds for a smooth start. Its service factor is 1.0 and can handle a maximum load capacity of 150% for 1 minute. It has a fuse installed for line protection.

Frequently Asked Questions about B160:

Q: Why does the B160 DC motor controller support both 115V and 230V input voltages?

A: Supporting both 115V and 230V ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial power sources, providing flexibility in global operations. It enables efficient operation across different geographic regions.

Q: How does the IR compensation feature optimize performance in the B160 DC motor controller?

A: IR compensation helps to minimize the effects of temperature variations on motor performance. This feature ensures stable motor speed and torque even in fluctuating environmental conditions, improving overall efficiency.

Q: What does the adjustable acceleration setting in the B160 DC motor controller (product code B160) achieve?

A: The adjustable acceleration setting allows for smooth start-up, preventing mechanical stress on the motor. This is especially important in applications requiring gradual and controlled speed increases to protect the motor and connected equipment.

Q: Why is the B160 DC motor controller’s (product code B160) maximum load capacity rated at 150% for 1 minute?

A: This feature provides an additional performance buffer to handle temporary overloads without damaging the motor controller. It ensures that the system can handle brief surges in demand, improving reliability during peak operations.

Q: What is the role of the humidity tolerance range in the B160 DC motor controller?

A: With a tolerance range up to 95% humidity, the B160 DC motor controller can function effectively in humid environments. This ensures that the controller remains reliable and operates optimally in diverse industrial settings.
