150-C25NBR Allen Bradley 11 kW Soft Starter, 460 V ac, 3 Phase, IP2X

Allen Bradley SMC-3 Controller_x000D_ The SMC-3 solid-state soft starter by Allen Bradley is low voltage, compact, and cost-effective Smart Motor Controller that features true three phase control, for superior speed control and a smoother, safer motor start-up and stop. The SMC-3 includes overload protection, integral bypass, and motor and system diagnostics to provide you with a flexible electrical motor control solution which reduces downtime and improves productivity._x000D_ The embedded bypass automatically closes when the motor has reached full speed to minimise heat generation. For fast diagnostics the SMC-3 also features a Hold To Test/Push To Reset button, which detects faults and enables the device to be reset. The LED display provides immediate status indication and assists with troubleshooting. Due to its convenient compact size this device uses less panel space and offers ease-of-installation. DIP switches ensure that set-up is efficient and secure, as they allow setting of the START/STOP profile, built-in overload, connection type, trip class and auxiliary contact characteristics._x000D_ Integration of the SMC-3 in your electrical motor control system results in less stress/shock to mechanical components due to decreased start-up torque, helping to extend the lifespan of your equipment. It protects against machine damage as line and motor diagnostics detect single-phase conditions. System maintenance is reduced due to lower peak currents during start-up, which lowers operating costs._x000D_ Allen Bradley offer a range of smart motor starters that will ensure reliable high performance and precision, giving you a long-lasting solution for your application._x000D_ Features and Benefits:_x000D_ • Quick, easy installation due to simple user interface_x000D_ • Includes built-in silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) bypass/run contactor_x000D_ • Provides 3 to 480 A current range to suit your requirements_x000D_ • Uses rated voltage: 200…690V AC, 50/60 Hz_x000D_ • Includes five start and stop modes_x000D_ • Provides embedded programmable electronic motor overload protection (DIP switch selectable - Trip class 10, 15 or 20)_x000D_ • Includes a hold-to-test/push-to-reset button to allow fault finding and simple reset, reducing downtime_x000D_ • Simplified and secure set-up using DIP switches_x000D_ • Programming via Connected Components Workbench™ software_x000D_ • Designed for full integration with the Allen-Bradley MCS range_x000D_ Applications:_x000D_ Pumps_x000D_ Conveyors_x000D_ Fans_x000D_ Lifts_x000D_ Mixers_x000D_ Chillers_x000D_ Additional Information:_x000D_ Frame size 1: 45mm wide, 3 phase control facilitating true soft start capability up to 20kW_x000D_ Frame size 2: 72mm wide, 3 phase control facilitating true soft start capability up to 45kW_x000D_ Seven ratings covering 3A to 37A_x000D_ Phase rotation checking_x000D_ Two control voltage ratings: 418-6934 24Vac/dc and 418-6861 100V to 240Vac. 50/60Hz over to 0 to 40°C_x000D_ DIP switch-selectable starting methods (soft start 2 to 15 seconds, current limit, kick-start) and stopping methods (soft stop 100%, 200% or 300% of start time, coast to rest)_x000D_ Caution:_x000D_ kW ratings based on current limit value of 350%. Product should always be selected by Motor Full Load Current_x000D_ 150-C25NBR:_x000D_ The SMC-3 150-C25NBR motor controller has a line voltage of 480 V 60Hz and current rating of 25A, and a control voltage of 24V ac/dc. It has a power rating of 11kW._x000D_ What is a soft starter?_x000D_ A soft starter is a type of motor starter which is often used to control AC electric motors. It is used during a machine start-up process to manage the speed and torque of the motor and prevent electrical surges (inrush currents). It achieves this by gradually and safely increasing the voltage until the machine is running at full speed. Solid-state switches can be used in this type of starter to regulate the voltage, as well as the starting current supplied. These devices are useful for the protection of electrical motors against damage and from heating caused by recurrent starts and stops, and can extend its service life. They are a simple, economical solution which is often used in industrial applications such as conveyors, pumps, and fans._x000D_ Soft starters were developed to overcome the drawbacks of direct on line (DOL) and star-delta starting of single and three phase a.c. induction motors, such as high starting currents, voltage peaks and mechanical snatch. Allen Bradley motor starters provide advantages such as energy saving through reduced peak kVA, reduced starting torque, prolonged equipment life, minimised voltage dip problems, allowing minimum cable conductor size, and elimination of high current transients; when a 3-phase motor changes from Star to Delta.
