Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 150-A180BBD is an SMC-50 family Smart Motor Controller, specifically a Soft Starter. It allows users to adjust the initial torque and gradually increase motor voltage, offering multiple starting modes like Dual Ramp, Full Voltage, Current Limit, and Selectable Kickstart. Standard features include nine start modes, an energy-saving mode, internal bypass, and solid-state control. It logs the last 100 events with timestamps and supports an external bypass. The 150-A180BBD provides electronic motor overload protection (but not short-circuit protection) and allows adjustment of hourly start limits up to 99 to prevent motor stress. It includes a reserved port for a 20-HIM-A6 LCD display unit for alarm/fault information, parameter display, and keypad input. Wiring should be 24-14 AWG (0.2-2.5 mm) with a maximum torque of 7 lb-in (0.8 N-m). Designed for scalability and energy cost reduction, this performance model offers advanced motor protection and easy programming. It's rated at 180A, housed in a NEMA Type 1 ventilated enclosure, and operates from 200-690 VAC at 50-60 Hz. Available in open and closed designs (though the 150-A180BBD is just one model), it supports motors from 5 to 150 HP and weighs approximately 55 lbs with dimensions of 22.06 x 10.75 x 11.58 inches.
Is Your Device Showing These Signs?
The Allen Bradley 150-A180BBD commonly experiences issues related to failed solid-state overload relays, resulting in nuisance tripping or a complete inability to start the motor. Contactor coil burnout is a frequent problem, leading to operational failure and requiring coil replacement. Inspect the auxiliary contacts for wear or damage, as these degrade over time and cause control circuit malfunctions. Power pole damage from excessive current or voltage surges is a known failure point, necessitating replacement of the affected components. Ensure proper thermal management to prevent premature aging of internal components and address any existing wiring harness degradation to maintain signal integrity and prevent short circuits.

Our Repair Process for the
150-A180BBD
Our repair process for the Allen Bradley 150-A180BBD begins with a thorough inspection of the solid-state overload relay for failure, replacing it when nuisance tripping or start failure is observed. Contactor coils are checked for burnout, and replacement is performed if operational failure is present. Auxiliary contacts are examined for wear and damage, with replacement occurring to correct control circuit malfunctions. Power poles are assessed for damage resulting from current or voltage surges, and affected components are replaced. Thermal management systems are evaluated and improved to prevent premature component aging, and the wiring harness is inspected for degradation, with repairs or replacements made to maintain signal integrity and prevent short circuits.
