The Allen-Bradley 161493 is a critical SCR armature pole part utilized within the Allen-Bradley 1395 series DC drives, specifically compatible with Series B models rated at 500 to 600 horsepower operating on 575 Volts AC. It is designed for applications requiring either regenerative or non-regenerative DC drive functions, boasting a robust 1880 Amps rating for optimal performance. For regenerative systems, installation of three units is necessary, and proper installation requires the pole piece fixture assembly and PIP gauge tool, identified by part number 119495, to ensure high current control signals are efficiently converted into high-current motor outputs.
