ABB PSE170-600-70 Softstarter: Efficient Motor Control for Industrial Applications, 170 A, 208-600 V AC, Built-in Bypass & Advanced Protection Features

The ABB PSE170-600-70 is a versatile and compact softstarter designed for efficient motor control in various industrial applications. With a rated maximum operational current of 170 A and an operating voltage range of 208 to 600 V AC, this softstarter is ideal for small to medium-sized three-phase motors. It features a two-phase control system that provides a smooth soft start and stop through voltage or torque ramping, ensuring minimal mechanical stress on your equipment. The PSE170-600-70 is equipped with a built-in bypass, which simplifies installation and reduces energy loss at full speed. It supports a control supply voltage between 100 and 250 V AC at 50/60 Hz, making it adaptable to different power systems. The device includes advanced functionalities such as current limit, kickstart, analog output, end-of-life (EOL) indication, underload, and locked rotor protection, enhancing its reliability and performance. For user-friendly interaction, the PSE features an illuminated display with symbols for language-neutral operation. An optional external keypad with an IP66 rating can be added for enhanced control. Communication with the PSE can be achieved through hardwire inputs for Start/Stop or fault reset, as well as via built-in Modbus RTU fieldbus communication. An external adaptor and Fieldbus plug offer additional connectivity options. This softstarter is particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent starts per hour, such as pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors. Its compact design makes it an excellent choice for installations where space is limited, providing a perfect balance between high starting capacity and cost efficiency.
