Allen-Bradley 150-FPP1250Z SMC Flex Power Pole: Specifications & Buying Guide

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 150-FPP1250Z is a modularly designed power pole built for the SMC Flex Low Voltage Soft Starters. This single-phase component supports motor starting for 3-phase induction motors and is part of the B Series SMC accessory family. With a current rating of 1250 Amps and a power rating of 1000 Horsepower, it handles demanding industrial applications. The unit operates on a line input voltage of 200 to 460 Volts AC and includes two tightening screws, connecting cables, and an instruction manual for straightforward installation.

Key Specifications

The 150-FPP1250Z delivers a rated current of 1250 Amps and supports motor loads up to 1000 Horsepower. Its input voltage range covers 200 to 460 Volts AC, making it suitable for common low-voltage three-phase systems. The power pole weighs 32.00 lbs (14.51 kg) and is designed for single-phase wiring applications. These specifications ensure reliable performance in heavy-duty motor control setups.

Industry Applications

This power pole is ideal for industries that rely on large induction motors, such as manufacturing, pumping, and material handling. In a conveyor system, the 150-FPP1250Z enables smooth, microprocessor-controlled starting that reduces mechanical stress. For pump applications, it helps manage starting currents and protects against overload conditions. The component also supports smart motor braking and pump control when paired with factory-installed options in the SMC Flex controller.

Installation & Setup

Installation of the 150-FPP1250Z is straightforward with the included assembly package. The package contains cables to connect the power pole to the control module, two fastening screws, and an instruction sheet. Ensure the SMC Flex controller is properly mounted and that the control power supply matches the required 100 to 240 Volts AC or 24 Volts AC/DC. Follow the manual to securely attach the power pole and verify all connections before energizing the system.

Compatibility & Integration

The 150-FPP1250Z is compatible with SMC Flex controllers rated from 4 to 480 Amps. These controllers feature built-in bypasses and protection functions such as over-voltage, under load, jam detection, stall, under-voltage, voltage unbalance, and electronic motor overload protection. The SMC Flex platform supports DPI communication via a serial interface, allowing connection to HMI modules and other communication modules. Programming is done through the keypad and LCD screen, with four fully programmable auxiliary contacts for additional control.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting the 150-FPP1250Z, verify that your SMC Flex controller model supports this power pole and that the system voltage falls within the 200 to 460 Volt AC range. Confirm that the motor load does not exceed 1000 Horsepower or 1250 Amps. For current lifecycle status and availability, contact BluePLC Industrial.
