Overview

The ABB PSE72-600-70 (SKU: PSE72-600-70) is a general-purpose softstarter designed for three-phase motors with nominal currents from 18A to 370A. This unit offers a rated maximum operational current of 72A and operates within a voltage range of 208-600V AC. Its rated control voltage is 100-250V AC at 50/60 Hz. The PSE72-600-70 features two-phase control, providing smooth soft start and stop functionality via voltage or torque ramp control. This reduces mechanical stress on equipment and electrical disturbances on the power supply. For simplified installation and energy savings, it includes a built-in bypass function that engages once the motor reaches full speed. This softstarter is equipped with essential protective functions including current limit, kickstart, analog output, end-of-life (EOL) monitoring, underload protection, and locked rotor protection. An illuminated, language-neutral display utilizes symbols for intuitive operation. Communication and control are facilitated through hardwire inputs for Start/Stop and fault Reset. It also offers built-in Modbus RTU fieldbus communication for integration into automation systems, with options for external adaptors and Fieldbus plugs. Relay outputs provide RUN, TOR, and Event signals in a normally open (NO) state. Suitable for applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors, the PSE72-600-70 offers a balance between high starting capacity and cost efficiency. Coated circuit boards provide protection against dust, moisture, and corrosive atmospheres. Installation is via screw mounting.
