Features:
- IntelliVAC 1500 Multi-Contactor Control Module
- Used in medium-voltage industrial motor control centers
- Designed for managing and protecting the Bulletin 1502 vacuum contactor in the CENTERLINE 1500 and 1900 series
This module is primarily used for efficient and flexible monitoring and protection of Bulletin 1502 series medium-voltage vacuum contactors. It supports a wide input voltage range of 110-240V AC or 110-250V DC and is compatible with 400A and 800A electrically holding or mechanically hooked contactors. It is a core control component of medium-voltage motor controllers such as the CENTERLINE 1500/1900 series.
This module provides enhanced diagnostic capabilities and multiple protection mechanisms, including adjustable vacuum contactor release time (to optimize coordination with upstream fuses), trip protection (to prevent frequent closing due to control signal failure), and delayed restart protection.
The 1503VC-BMC5-MC1 Allen Bradley IntelliVAC 1500 Multi-Contactor Control Module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The module integrates electronic circuitry to process input control signals in real time, precisely driving the vacuum contactor's engagement and disengagement coils. Internal sensors monitor coil current and power status, providing controllable excitation power during startup to ensure stable engagement time and reducing current to sustaining levels during operation, thereby minimizing energy consumption and heat generation. When a disconnection signal or system abnormality is detected, it will precisely control the release time according to preset logic, thereby achieving safe switching of the motor or power system.
- Medium-voltage motor starters: Provide consistent and repeatable engagement and disengagement times for vacuum contactors, ensuring precise motor control.
- Feeder applications: Used to manage vacuum contactors used in feeder power distribution. High-altitude operation: Equipped with electronic altitude compensation (400 A model), maintaining performance at altitudes above 1000 meters without mechanical adjustment.
- Harsh industrial environments: Designed for environments requiring robust overcurrent and short-circuit protection.
