The Allen-Bradley 150-F201NBR is a Smart Motor Controller from the SMC Flex product category. This soft starter has line Voltage requirement of 200-460VAC, 3-Phase, 50 / 60 Hz while the device control voltage requirement is 24V AC/DC (5-480 A units). This controller has a continuous output current of 201 Amperes and output power of 150 HP at 460VAC rated voltage.

The 150-F201NBR come with an with an open type enclosure. For installation, this controller requires minimum enclosure size of (HxWxD) of 965 mm (38 in) x 762 mm (30 in) x 356 mm (14 in). It supports direct mounting to the enclosure sub-panel via the provided mounting holes located on top and below the controller.

The 150-F201NBR is capable of a wide variety of start and stopping modes specifically Soft Start, Full Voltage Start, Smart Motor Braking, Current Limit Start, Dual Ramp Start, Accu-Stop, Selectable Kickstart, Pump Start, Slow Speed with Braking, Coast-to-rest, Preset Slow Speed, Linear Speed Acceleration (Tachometer required), Soft Stop and Pump Stop. These configurable start and stopping modes allow the motor to perform the required protective start-up and shutdown sequence as well as limit generation of inrush current.

For configuration, this controller has a built-in Human Interface Module (HIM) which is used to configure and operate the drive locally and use as aid in monitoring the status of the drive. A more convenient way of configuration can be implemented using the Connected Components Workbench (CCW) while communication to the controller can be established using the built-in DPI port of the controller.

The controller’s power circuit offers 500V AC IEC-rated insulation voltage, with 6000V rated impulse voltage, and a Dielectric withstand of 2,200V, and it has DV/DT protection from its RC Snubber Network. The 150-F201NBR, unlike some controllers in the series, does not come with protection modules, but it provides branch circuit protection using a 600A-rated Class J fuse with a maximum short-circuit rating of 18KA, and it utilizes the i2 t Algorithm for electronic motor overload protection. The 150-F201NBR has a 24V AC/DC control circuit, with a 1600V dielectric withstand and with a 19.2V DC/20.4V AC ON-state input voltage at 7.6mA, and it provides high-temperature control using a 40VA back side installed heatsink fan. It has 4 programmable relays (electromagnetic) output with 3A and 1.5A (NC/NO) contact ratings at 120V AC and 240V AC, which can be configured for normal/up-to-speed/fault/alarm/network control, and it has an alarm contact pre-configured for under load, under voltage overload, overvoltage, voltage unbalance, motor jam, and motor stall. The 150-F201NBR can easily be set up, either by downloaded software-configured parameters directly to the controller or by using the integral front panel keypads and the multi-lingual LCD. The controller communicates via a DPI port, which provides connection points for optional communication modules, the 150-F201NBR is wired only to standard squirrel-cage induction motors. It has a working temperature range of 23-122°F, with a storage temperature range of -4-167°F at 5 to 95% non-condensing humidity, and it is designed to operate at an altitude of 2000m, without any de-rating. The 150-F201NBR has a net shipping weight of 30.4kg, with a total shipping volume of 560mm x 225mm x 258.3mm, and it has CCC, c-UL-us, UL, and CE certifications.
