The 150-F43NBDB is part of Allen-Bradley’s Smart Motor Controller (SMC) series. It is specifically an SMC Flex motor controller, more commonly known as a soft-starter device, providing a safe and efficient method of starting and stopping a Squirrel cage of Delta-connected Six-lead AC motor. It also helps to prolong the operation of the connected AC operator, minimizing the mechanical, electrical, and thermal stress brought by sudden starting, stopping, or change of motor rotation direction. The 150-F43NBDB is a panel-mounted device. It must be mounted within an enclosure that offers protection against corrosive gasses and vapors, water, airborne contaminants, and metal filings. The minimum enclosure size that the 150-F43NBDB requires is 406 mm (16 inches) for height; 305 mm (12 inches) for width and 203 inches (8 mm) for Depth. The 150-F43NBDB comes with standard starting and stopping functions such as Soft Start, Kickstart, Current Limit, Pump, Control, Dual ramp start, Full Voltage Start, Coast, Soft Stop, and Smart Motor Braking. Additionally, this controller is added with a built-in Pump Control feature. Aside from these control methods, this controller also supports a metering function where totalizing of Amps, Volts, kW, kWh, MW, MWH, elapsed time, power factor, motor thermal capacity usage can be calculated for metering and consumption monitoring requirements. This smart motor controller is powered by an input voltage range of 200-460VAC, 3-Phase, 50/60Hz and delivers varying output ratings such as output power range of 10 - 30 HP @ 60 Hz; 11 - 22 kW @ 50 Hz and output current range of 12-60 Amperes for Line-connected motors and 20 - 50 HP @ 60 Hz; 22 - 37 kW @ 50 Hz and output current range of 14.9 - 74 Amperes for Delta connected motors.

The Allen-Bradley 150-F43NBDB is a soft-starter, solid-state controller that belongs the Bulletin 150 - SMC Flex series. The supply voltage rating for this controller is 200 to 460 Volts AC, 50 and 60 Hertz and has a current rating of 43 Amps, 30 Horsepower. It also comes with a pump control variant and motor control protection. The control voltage for this module ranges from 100 Volts AC (minimum) to 240 Volts AC (maximum). The 150-F43NBDB is a low-voltage, soft-starter that comes with an internal bypass contact that helps to minimize heat generation. This feature reduces both the enclosure size and total costs. Because of its built-in current and voltage protection, the 150-F43NBDB provides diagnostic capability and power monitoring enhancement. For ease of maintenance, this controller also offers product modularity. Another great feature of this product is its integrated multilingual, backlit LCD. It is helpful for monitoring and programming as well as process optimization and setup efficiency. It has a standard line and load termination feature too.

The 150-F43NBDB is a 3-phase controller housed in an open-type enclosure. It also comes with the optional pump control feature that offers a built-in, anti-backspin timer. Because it belongs to the SMC-Flex series, the 150-F43NBDB incorporates electronic motor overload protection as a standard feature. This protection is electronically achieved with an I2t algorithm. Like other Bulletin 150 - SMC Flex Smart Motor Controllers, the 150-F43NBDB features an Integrated DPI Communication Feature, Metering, 4 Fully Programmable Auxiliary Contacts, Stall Protection and Jam Detection, Voltage Unbalance Protection, Network I/O, and Ground Fault, Tachometer, and PTC Inputs. The Allen-Bradley 150-F43NBDB is a Smart Motor Control from the SMC Flex series. This controller, is used to control the starting and stopping characteristics of a 3-Phase AC motor via variety of configurable functions such as 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), and Soft Stop. Additionally, the 150-F43NBDB is provided with the Pump Stop feature which is practically used to prevent fluid surges. The 150-F43NBDB is provided with an integrated Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and embedded keypad for local configuration and operation. It may also be configured using the Parameter Configuration Module, DriveExplorer and DriveExecutive software as well as the Connected Components Workbench (CCW). AN optional Human Interface Module (HIM) may also be installed to the controller’s internal Drive Peripheral Interface (DPI) for a more user-friendly local interface. Aside from being an electronic component mainly installed with Solid State components, the highly programmable and configurable environment of this device is powered by the built-in microprocessor. This controller has an applicable motor output current rating of 43 Amperes and 30 Horsepower. It accepts an input line voltage of 300 Horsepower at an input line voltage of 200-460 Volts AC, 3-Phase, along a frequency of 50 / 60 Hertz. It has a control voltage of 100-240 Volts AC. This controller can be specifically used with standard squirrel-cage induction motor or with a Wye-Delta Six-Lead motor. It has an open-type enclosure and supports panel mounting.
