The SMC-3 150-C60NBD provides a 60 A controller rating for compatible three-phase induction motors, with a documented line-connected motor current range of 20-60 A at 380-460 VAC.
The controller uses 100-240 VAC control power and supports a nominal 480 VAC three-phase main power circuit. This configuration is distinct from the 24 V AC/DC control version.
The built-in bypass reduces thyristor conduction losses after motor acceleration, helping limit operating heat generation in industrial motor control cabinets.
Selectable current limits of 150-450% of motor full-load current, starting times of 2-30 seconds, adjustable initial torque and soft-stop settings support different mechanical load requirements.
Integrated electronic overload protection provides selectable Class 10, 15 and 20 trip characteristics, together with a normally open overload/fault auxiliary contact for supported control circuits.
The open-type controller measures 206 × 72 × 130 mm and weighs 2.25 kg. It supports operation from -5°C to 50°C with documented steady-state heat dissipation of 50 W.

What is Allen-Bradley 150-C60NBD?
Allen-Bradley 150-C60NBD is a Bulletin 150-C SMC-3 solid-state soft starter rated at 60 A, designed for three-phase motor starting with a nominal 480 VAC main power voltage and a 100-240 VAC control supply.
What is the rated current of 150-C60NBD?
The controller has a 60 A current rating. The manufacturer specifies a line-connected motor current range of 20-60 A for applicable 380-460 VAC applications.
What control voltage does 150-C60NBD require?
This model requires 100-240 VAC control power. The documented control current during starting with the fan is 200 mA at 120 VAC or 100 mA at 240 VAC.
What is the difference between 150-C60NBD and 150-C60NBR?
The 150-C60NBD uses 100-240 VAC control power, while the 150-C60NBR uses 24 V AC/DC control power. These models should not be interchanged without checking the existing control circuit voltage.
What motor horsepower range does 150-C60NBD support?
The documented line-connected motor range at 460 VAC is 15-40 HP. Supported inside-delta motor configurations extend to 20-75 HP at 460 VAC, subject to motor nameplate current and installation requirements.
Does 150-C60NBD support inside-delta connections?
Yes. The manufacturer specifies an inside-delta motor current range of 34.6-104 A under the applicable voltage conditions. Motor wiring and protection must follow the installation instructions.
Does 150-C60NBD include an internal bypass?
Yes. An integrated bypass reduces power losses during the applicable full-speed motor running condition.
What current limit settings are available?
Selectable current limits are 150%, 250%, 350% and 450% of motor full-load current. Starting time and initial torque settings are also adjustable.
Does 150-C60NBD include electronic motor overload protection?
Yes. The controller provides integrated motor overload protection with selectable Class 10, 15 and 20 trip settings. The selected settings must match the motor and application.
Can 150-C60NBD 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 wired appropriately.
Does 150-C60NBD have a display or fault contact?
The controller 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-C60NBD?
Verify the exact catalog number 150-C60NBD, 60 A controller rating, main supply voltage, 100-240 VAC control supply, motor full-load current, line or inside-delta connection, overload trip class, starting characteristics, auxiliary contact wiring, IP2X construction and 206 × 72 × 130 mm installation dimensions.
