Key Features
24V AC/DC Control Supply
The controller operates with a 24 V AC/DC control supply and supports a nominal 480 VAC three-phase main power circuit. This configuration is distinct from versions requiring 100-240 VAC control power.
Integrated Motor Bypass
The internal bypass reduces thyristor conduction losses once the motor reaches its normal running condition, helping limit operating heat generation and power dissipation.
Adjustable Starting and Soft Stopping
Selectable current limits of 150-450% of motor full-load current, starting times from 2 to 30 seconds, adjustable initial torque and configurable soft stopping support a variety of mechanical loads.
Integrated Overload Protection
The SMC-3 includes electronic motor overload protection with selectable Class 10, 15 and 20 trip characteristics. A normally open fault contact provides an interface for supported monitoring and control circuits.
Compact IP2X Construction
The open-type controller measures 139.7 × 44.8 × 110 mm and weighs approximately 0.86 kg. It has an IP2X protection rating and a documented steady-state heat dissipation of 19 W.
Applications
- Industrial three-phase induction motor soft starting
- Conveyor and material handling equipment
- Centrifugal pump motor starting and stopping
- Industrial ventilation fans and blowers
- Packaging and manufacturing machinery
- Motor control cabinets using 24V AC/DC control circuits
- Mechanical equipment requiring controlled motor acceleration
- SMC-3 motor starter maintenance and replacement

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Allen-Bradley 150-C30NBR?
Allen-Bradley 150-C30NBR is a Bulletin 150-C SMC-3 solid-state soft starter rated at 30 A, designed for three-phase motor starting with a nominal 480 VAC main power supply and 24 V AC/DC control power.
What is the rated current of 150-C30NBR?
The controller has a 30 A current rating. Rockwell Automation specifies a line-connected motor current range of 10-30 A for supported 380/400/415/460 VAC installations.
What control voltage does 150-C30NBR require?
This model requires 24 V AC/DC control power. The documented current during starting with the fan operating is 800 mA at 24 VDC or 660 mA at 24 VAC.
What is the difference between 150-C30NBR and 150-C30NBD?
The 150-C30NBR uses 24 V AC/DC control power, while the 150-C30NBD uses a 100-240 VAC control supply. These models must not be substituted without confirming the existing control circuit voltage.
What motor horsepower range does 150-C30NBR support?
Manufacturer data specifies 7.5-20 HP for line-connected motors at 460 VAC and 7.5-30 HP for supported inside-delta connections at 460 VAC. Actual selection depends on motor full-load current and starting duty.
Does 150-C30NBR support inside-delta motor connections?
Yes. The documented inside-delta motor current range is 17.3-52 A at the applicable 380/400/415/460 VAC operating conditions. Wiring and circuit protection must follow the manufacturer installation requirements.
Does 150-C30NBR include an internal bypass?
Yes. The controller includes an integrated bypass to reduce power losses during the applicable full-speed motor running condition.
What current limit settings are available?
The available settings are 150%, 250%, 350% and 450% of motor full-load current. Starting times, initial torque and kick-start duration are also configurable.
Does 150-C30NBR include electronic overload protection?
Yes. The starter includes electronic motor overload protection with selectable Class 10, 15 and 20 trip settings. The selected settings must be matched to the connected motor and application.
Can 150-C30NBR perform soft stopping?
Yes. Soft stopping can be disabled or configured to 100%, 200% or 300% of the selected starting time when the controller is correctly wired and configured.
Does 150-C30NBR have an integrated display or fault contact?
The module does not include an integrated display. It provides one normally open overload/fault auxiliary contact at terminals 97-98, rated at 0.6 A at 120 VAC or 0.3 A at 240 VAC.
What should be checked before ordering 150-C30NBR?
Verify the complete catalog number 150-C30NBR, 30 A controller rating, main supply voltage, 24 V AC/DC control power, motor nameplate current, line or inside-delta wiring, overload trip class, current limit settings, fault contact wiring, IP2X protection and 139.7 × 44.8 × 110 mm installation dimensions.
