Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 150-F135FHD is a solid state controller from the SMC-Flex product line, designed for soft starting and controlled stopping of three-phase induction motors. This industrial automation module supports Wye-Delta, 6-lead, and three-phase squirrel cage motors, offering multiple operational modes including full voltage start, soft start with kickstart, dual ramp, and current limit. With its IP65 (Type 4/12) enclosure, the 150-F135FHD is built for demanding environments where dust and water ingress are concerns.

Operational Modes and Protection
The 150-F135FHD provides a range of starting and stopping modes to match various application needs. Users can select from full voltage start, soft start with selectable kickstart, dual ramp start, current limit, soft stop, linear speed acceleration (requires tach feedback), and preset slow speed. For braking, it offers accu-stop, smart motor braking, and slow speed with braking.
Built-in protective features include overload, underload, overvoltage, undervoltage, ground fault, stall protection, overtemperature, thermistor/PTC protection, excessive starts per hour, line fault detection, and open gate detection. These safeguards help prevent motor damage and reduce unplanned downtime.
User Interface and Control
A 16-character backlit LCD displays current parameters, while the keypad with five buttons (enter, select, escape, and navigation) allows straightforward configuration. The controller operates with a control voltage of 100-240V AC and accepts 200-208V AC three-phase input at 50/60 Hz. At rated voltage, motor current ranges from 34 to 135 A, with a maximum HP rating of 40 HP at 60 Hz.
Environmental and Installation Considerations
For reliable operation, install the 150-F135FHD at altitudes no greater than 2000 meters and maintain ambient temperatures between -5°C and 40°C. During storage or transport, keep the unit within -20°C to 75°C. Proper mounting and ventilation are essential to ensure thermal performance and longevity.
Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, verify that your motor's full-load current and voltage match the controller rating (135 A, 200-208V AC). Confirm the enclosure type meets your site requirements—IP65 is suitable for washdown or dusty areas.
