Description
Allen-Bradley 1503VC-BMC5 IntelliVAC Contactor Control Module
The Allen-Bradley 1503VC-BMC5, also cataloged as the 1503VC-BMC5 IntelliVAC Contactor Control Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for electronic actuation and supervision of medium-voltage vacuum contactors within Bulletin 1502 motor starter and feeder control systems. The module manages contactor coil control, drop-out timing, status monitoring, and protection-related operating functions.

EtherNet/IP Integration and Contactor Control Architecture
The 1503VC-BMC5 is designed for deterministic contactor control within medium-voltage motor starter systems. While the module itself performs local control and monitoring of Bulletin 1502 vacuum contactors, it can operate within automation architectures that incorporate EtherNet/IP-connected controllers and motor control systems.
Selectable contactor drop-out timing allows coordination with upstream protective devices and medium-voltage fuse systems. The module also supports contactor status feedback through dedicated output contacts, enabling integration with supervisory control logic and alarm handling functions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 1503VC-BMC5 directly control medium-voltage motors?
A: No. The module controls the associated Bulletin 1502 vacuum contactor. Motor power switching is performed by the contactor assembly.
Q: Can contactor drop-out timing be adjusted?
A: Yes. The module provides selectable drop-out timing to support coordination with medium-voltage fuse protection schemes.
Q: Does the module provide status feedback to external control systems?
A: Yes. Status output contacts are provided and rated for up to 250 VAC rms, 5 A resistive load.
Field Installation Guidelines
-
Install the module inside a protected control enclosure according to the applicable Bulletin 1503VC installation documentation.
-
De-energize all medium-voltage and control-voltage sources before wiring or servicing.
-
Verify compatibility between the installed IntelliVAC module and the connected Bulletin 1502 vacuum contactor.
-
Maintain separation between control wiring and medium-voltage conductors within the enclosure.
-
Confirm proper grounding of the motor control equipment and associated metallic structures.
-
Verify ambient conditions remain within the specified temperature, humidity, and altitude limits.
-
Inspect control terminals and status output wiring for secure connections before commissioning.
-
Test contactor operation and status feedback circuits after installation and before placing the equipment into service.
