Product Description:

B162 is an enclosed DC motor controller drive. It is a part of the series quadraline regenerative drives by Danaher. Its NEMA 4/12 enclosure meets industrial protection standards. The B1 thermal controller balances performance with essential safety features and operates in a humidity up to 95% RH.

The B162 regenerative DC motor controller drive weighs 2.56 kg and has a rugged enclosure design. It features corrosion-resistant stainless-steel construction with FDA-approved white epoxy coating withstanding harsh environments. The B1 DC motor controller supports remote operator control and delivers adjustable output current range of 2.5 to 15 A DC while handling 150% overload for 1 minute. It has two feedback modes optimize for different performances. The B1 DC motor controller’s armature voltage feedback provides 30:1 speed range and the tachometer feedback extends this to 50:1 range. Its speed regulation achieves ±2% with armature feedback and tachometer feedback improve regulation to 0.5-1%. The B1 DC motor controller has a maximum speed setting between 75-110% and minimum speed adjusts from 0-30%. It features IR compensation for fine-tuning of motor and has acceleration time configuration from 1-5 secs. The B1 DC motor controller has compatibility with permanent magnet or shunt-wound motors.

The B162 regenerative DC motor controller drive has protection fuse for prevention against electrical faults and features 3-wire start/stop circuit to give safety from unintended restarts. It operates on 115 VAC or 230 VAC single-phase input with frequency range of 50/60 Hz ±2 Hz for global standards. The B1 thermal controller has armature voltage ranges of 0-90 VDC with 115 VAC input and for 230 VAC input the armature voltage extends to 0-180 VDC. The B1 thermal controller offers field voltage options of 50/100 VDC or 100/200 VDC.
