SMC 150-A09NA Soft Motor Controller

SMC 150-A09NA SMC-2 soft motor controller is an open-type reduced-voltage starter for 3‑phase motors operating at 230 VAC, part of Rockwell Automation's SMC-2 family. It is rated for 2 HP and 9 A at 230 VAC (50/60 Hz) and provides soft-start control to limit inrush current and reduce mechanical stress during motor startup. As a smart motor controller, it helps protect drives and electrical infrastructure in light industrial automation for 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 3‑phase service. Common applications include conveyors, fans, and pumps where gentle starting is beneficial. The 150-A09NA was discontinued by the manufacturer and availability is typically through surplus or third-party distributors.
