Description
Product Name: 150-A35NB Allen Braley Processor module
Product details:
The Allen-Bradley 150-A35NB is part of the SMC-2 (Smart Motor Controller) series manufactured by Rockwell Automation. It is a compact, solid-state controller designed to provide a smooth start for three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors, reducing mechanical stress and current surges.
1. Product Specifications
The model number breaks down into specific technical ratings:
-
150: Bulletin number (SMC-2 Smart Motor Controller).
-
A: Controller Type (Standard).
-
35: Current Rating (35 Amperes).
-
N: Enclosure Type (Open Type/IP00 – requires a separate cabinet).
-
B: Input Line Voltage (400V – 480V AC, 3-Phase, 50/60 Hz).
Technical Data Table
| Feature | Specification |
| Input Voltage | 400V – 480V AC (+10%, -15%) |
| Control Voltage | 100V – 240V AC or 24V AC/DC (model dependent) |
| Phase | 3-Phase |
| Current Rating | 35A |
| Power Rating (Approx.) | ~15-22 kW (20-25 HP) at 460V |
| Operating Modes | Soft Start, Current Limit Start, Selectable Kickstart |
2. Product Advantages
-
Reduced Mechanical Wear: By controlling the torque during acceleration, it prevents “water hammer” in pumps and protects belts, gears, and bearings from sudden shocks.
-
Compact Footprint: The SMC-2 design is significantly smaller than traditional Star-Delta or Autotransformer starters, saving panel space.
-
Ease of Setup: Features simple DIP switches and rotary potentiometers for adjusting start time and initial torque, requiring no complex programming software.
-
Energy Efficiency: Solid-state components reduce energy spikes during startup compared to Direct-On-Line (DOL) starting.
3. Key Features & Modes
-
Soft Start: Gradually increases voltage to the motor over a timed period (typically 2 to 30 seconds).
-
Current Limit: Limits the maximum starting current to a pre-set level to prevent tripping circuit breakers.
-
Kickstart: Provides a brief pulse of high torque at the beginning of the start cycle to break loose high-friction loads.
4. Safety & Installation Precautions
-
Heat Dissipation: As a solid-state device, it generates heat. Ensure the enclosure has adequate ventilation and observe the minimum clearance distances specified in the manual.
-
Short Circuit Protection: Use the recommended high-speed (semiconductor) fuses or inverse-time circuit breakers to protect the internal SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers).
-
Isolation: The SMC-2 is not an isolation device. You must use a separate disconnect switch or contactor to ensure the motor is electrically isolated during maintenance.
-
Bypass Contactor: While not always required, using an external bypass contactor after the motor reaches full speed can reduce heat and extend the life of the controller.
5. Typical Applications
The 150-A35NB is ideal for light-to-medium industrial applications where a smooth start is required:
-
Centrifugal Pumps: Prevents pressure surges and pipe vibration.
-
Conveyor Belts: Avoids product tipping or belt snapping during abrupt starts.
-
Fans and Blowers: Reduces the high starting torque that can damage drive belts.
-
Compressors: Ensures a steady ramp-up to operating speed.
