The 150-F361NBDB Controller is a smart motor controller or soft starter that has been designed and manufactured by Allen-Bradley. This solid-state electronic device provides a 3-pole and 3-phase squirrel-cage motor or any other type of industrial motor with the necessary energy for starting up in a controlled manner, specifically in the manner that was previously configured by the users. The Allen-Bradley 150-F361NBDB Smart Motor Controller is designed to serve as a substitution or upgrade for older electromechanical motor starters by providing the same functions as a contactor and an overload protection device within a single device. Because of its small footprint, it requires less frequent and less labor-intensive maintenance and optimizes inventories, and these are just some of the benefits users can leverage by upgrading their systems with smart motor controllers.

The electrical ratings of the Allen-Bradley 150-F361NBDB Smart Motor Controller are a rated current of 361 Amps, rated output power of 300 Horsepower, and an operating voltage of 460 Volts AC. Its control voltage can vary between 100 Volts AC and 240 Volts AC. Some of the user-adjustable parameters are the initial torque level, acceleration ramp time, and the initial current limits. All of these parameters are easily adjustable by the users with the built-in keypad and the two-line, sixteen-character backlit LCD screen that are provided as standard features for every model in the Bulletin 150 Controller Product Line. The open construction style of the Allen-Bradley 150-F361NBDB Smart Motor Controller means that installation inside a protected enclosure is necessary. The internal temperature of the enclosure should not exceed the 0 to 50 degrees Celsius temperature range.
