Bulletin 150 — Smart Motor Controllers — SMC™-3 Smart Motor Controller
The SMC-3 is a compact, simple to use, solid-state motor controller designed to operate 3-phase motors. It features a built-in overload relay and a built-in SCR bypass contactor on all three phases, allowing a smaller footprint than other soft starters on the market. This product is designed for many applications, including compressors, chillers, pumps, conveyors, and crushers. Modes of operation for the controller are as follows:
- Soft Start
- Soft Stop
- Current Limit Start
- Kick Start
The controllers offer two voltage ranges: 200…480V AC and 200…600V AC. All voltage ranges will operate at either 50 or 60 Hz.
- 1…480 A Range
- Built-In Electronic Motor Overload Protection
- Built-In SCR/Run Bypass
- Delta Compatibility
This catalog is based on the minimum information needed to select an SMC soft starter for applications with low starting torque requirements. For product selection involving loads with high starting torque requirements (large fan, rock crusher, chipper, etc.), use of the free tools available from the Rockwell Automation Website is recommended:
