MEDIUM VOLTAGE MOTOR CONTROL

Manufacturers share the challenge of efficiently controlling

motors to improve performance, reduce power consumption
and protect motor investment. Of all the motors in your
manufacturing process, medium voltage motors can have a
large impact on your continued success. Developing
medium voltage motor control and protection has been a
core discipline for Rockwell Automation® for more than
100 years. Medium Voltage products, from across-the-line
starters to soft starters and variable frequency AC drives,
deliver enhanced protection in applications ranging up to
several thousand horsepower. Bringing motors up to speed
in a controlled manner, limiting wear on the motor and
other mechanical components, and protecting your
investment are key benefits of Rockwell Automation medium
voltage systems.

O.E.M. frames and components provide OEMs and electrical

equipment companies with custom-engineered solutions and high
quality components. Both the medium voltage controller and SMC
product lines offer smaller, more flexible individual components to
reduce building and expansion costs. Open-frame style structures are
also available with most medium voltage components already
mounted within the frame. All OEM components are manufactured to
meet UL, CSA, CE and IEC standards.

Allen-Bradley® medium voltage motor controllers are available

in a wide range of control formats allowing the flexibility to select
the best match for the application. Medium voltage full-voltage
controllers, reduced voltage controllers, solid-state reduced-voltage
controllers, two-speed controllers, synchronous controllers and load
break switches provide integrated intelligence and the lowest cost
solution for starting motors.

A COMPLETE LINE OF INDUCTION
AND SYNCHRONOUS CONTROLLERS

Solid-state reduced voltage controllers apply reduced voltage to a medium voltage

AC motor to allow soft starting and stopping, limitation of the inrush current, and
reduction of the effects of water hammer in pumping systems. Allen-Bradley MV SMC
Flex™ controllers include motor protection, communication and diagnostic capabilities and
high flexibility, making it ideal for virtually any application.

IntelliCENTER™ provides MCC users with an integrated hardware, software and

communication solution. The IntelliCENTER features pre-configured software which shows
real-time data, trending, component history, wiring diagrams, user manuals and spare
parts. The IntelliCENTER reduces installation time with its plug-and-play set-up and
minimizes facility downtime by quickly providing intelligent diagnostic and predictive
failure information.

Arc resistant controllers Rockwell Automation has enhanced the safety of its world
recognized medium voltage control products to include an optional arc resistant class of
medium voltage control equipment. ArcShield™ controllers provide the additional arc
resistant safety features required by some industries. Most medium voltage control
products can be provided with the ArcShield enclosure design which meets the arc
resistant testing requirements of IEEE C37.20.7. ArcShield controllers use the same
standard reliable internal components that continue to serve industries world wide.

Variable frequency AC drives Allen-Bradley medium voltage drives provide a single

solution for all medium voltage speed control requirements. The PowerFlex® 7000 family
of drives exceeds customer expectations by delivering superior reliability, ease of use and
lower total cost of ownership. The advanced power semiconductor technology reduces
component count to the lowest of any medium voltage drive available, translating to
increased savings and reliability, less downtime and fewer spare parts.

Why use Smart Motor Controllers (SMCs)

SMCs provide many features to benefit your system:
• Minimize mechanical damage resulting from full
voltage starting of AC induction motors, enabling
longer system life
• Limit line disturbances from inrush currents, resulting
in reduced downtime
• Multiple Start/Stop modes increase functionality
• Diagnostic monitoring helps prevent problems before
they occur
• Satisfy electrical distribution restrictions by reducing
inrush currents

SMCs are ideal for applications where:

• Belts, gears, and chains can be damaged by across-
the-line starting
• Materials can be damaged by sudden starts and stops
• A step change in torque can damage equipment
• Power company line current restrictions are imposed

With SMC soft starters you benefit from:

• Advanced diagnostics, increasing system performance
• Greater product functionality for increased system
flexibility
• Decreased downtime due to advanced protection of
motor winding, equipment, and materials

The MV SMC Flex controller furnishes as

standard a full range of starting and stopping
methods for a variety of applications. Its unique
control options offer enhanced motor starting
and stopping capabilities to satisfy your most
demanding applications.

ARC RESISTANT MEDIUM VOLTAGE CONTROLLERS

The Allen-Bradley Centerline® ArcShield arc resistant controller provides

rugged process control for applications requiring a higher level of personnel
protection. ArcShield products are compliant to the IEEE C37.20.7 standard,
and provide Type 2 protection. During an arc flash, the ArcShield controller
safely redirects the arc flash energy out the top of the unit and away from
personnel. This level of protection is also maintained when the low voltage
door is open for maintenance purposes.

QUALITY COMPONENTS FOR THE OEM MARKET
From the original oil-immersed contactor to air break and vacuum contactor, to solid-state controllers
such as Smart Motor Controllers and AC Variable Frequency Drives, Rockwell Automation has
developed and built a medium voltage product line that satisfies industries who are demanding more
safety, less maintenance, longer life and reliability in motor control equipment.

Added to those demands is the need for smaller, more flexible medium voltage products that are more
efficient and reduce building and expansion costs.

OEM Frames and components leverage the existing family of motor controllers built by Rockwell
Automation. They also incorporate some of the most fundamental, high volume components available
in our OEM product line for Original Equipment Manufacturers and electrical equipment companies.

Bulletin 1502 vacuum contactors are a comprehensive line of vacuum contactors used as isolating
contactors or as bypass contactors. Light weight and maintainability are but two of the features of this
fixed-mounted design.

Bulletin 1503F OEM components are a series of medium voltage frame-mounted components designed
to mount into new or existing structures or enclosures. These assemblies can also be used to retrofit
existing motor controllers. These products are available as a complete OEM frame or sold individually
as components.

Bulletin 1503E MV SMC Flex™ OEM kits are a series of solid-

state reduced voltage components designed to mount into
new or existing structures or enclosures. These assemblies
can also be used to retrofit existing motor controllers. These
products are available as an OEM frame and components.

The ArcShield products have a robust enclosure design which contain

the arc flash energy and exhaust materials until vents on top of the
enclosure open. Once opened, the vents provide a path for materials
to exit the enclosure. An overhead plenum is used to direct the
materials to a safe location, away from personnel near the equipment.
The low voltage panel is reinforced and sealed, to prevent arc flash
exhaust materials from entering this compartment.

As standard, a plenum exhaust section is provided with each new

ArcShield order. The plenum exhaust section can be mounted on
either the left or right end of the line-up, and it extends 40 inches (or
1016 mm) past the end of the line-up.

As the ArcShield may have an impact on horsepower ratings, please

contact your Rockwell Automation office to confirm.

long acceleration and stall conditions, as well as running pull-out
protection by monitoring motor power factor. When combined with
a suitable induction motor overload protection relay, the SyncPro
provides the necessary protection for the brush-type synchronous
motor.

Designed for Safety, Convenience and Reliability

• Programmable motor parameters and setpoints
• Wide range of settings for greater user flexibility
• Monitors field contactor coil condition
• Stores data from last 10 trips
• Digital user interface with a high visibility two-line back-lit display
• Displays trip and alarm conditions
• Terminal block assembly for simple interwiring
• Modular concept
• Ideal for retrofit applications
• Suitable for low voltage and medium voltage slip ring synchronous
motor applications
