The Allen-Bradley 150-A05NC Smart Motor Controller is part of the esteemed SMC-2 series, designed for starting three-phase induction motors with ease and efficiency. Operating within an input voltage range of 500 to 575 volts AC and accommodating frequencies from 50 to 60 Hertz, this controller supports ratings of 5 amps and 3 horsepower. It features versatile operation modes including full voltage, soft start, and current limit start, as well as an energy saver mode for efficiency in lightly-loaded motor applications. The design simplifies installation by minimizing control wiring and offers protection against electrical transients and surges. Constructed from high-temperature thermoplastic and featuring anodized aluminum and plated metal parts, this controller can withstand vibrations of 2.5 G and shocks of 30 G. Suitable for a general-purpose use within a temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees Celsius and altitudes up to 2000 meters, its enclosure ensures protection from external environmental factors.
