Overview

The ABB PSR12-600-70 softstarter (SKU: PSR12-600-70) is a compact, two-phase controlled softstarter designed for smooth motor start and stop operations in industrial applications. Rated for a maximum operational current of 12 A, it supports three-phase motors with nominal currents from 3 to 105 A, making it ideal for small to medium motor applications. The device operates within a voltage range of 208 to 600 V AC and accepts a control voltage of 100 to 240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, providing flexibility for global installations. Key features include a built-in bypass for simplified installation and energy savings by reducing losses once the motor reaches full speed. The softstarter uses a voltage ramp for both starting and stopping, which minimizes mechanical stress and electrical surges, extending motor lifespan and reducing wear on connected equipment. Setup is straightforward with three potentiometers on the front panel for easy adjustment of start and stop ramp times—no complex programming required. For system integration, the PSR12-600-70 includes a normally open (NO) relay output to provide a RUN signal. It is designed for compatibility with ABB’s manual motor starters (MMS), with mechanical connection kits available for seamless integration. Optional Fieldbus communication can be enabled via an external adapter and Fieldbus plug for enhanced monitoring and control. The PSR series is the most compact softstarter range from ABB, offering essential functionality in a space-saving design. It supports up to 100 starts per hour and is suitable for applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors. The device has an IP20 degree of protection, a rated insulation voltage of 600 V, and operates within an ambient temperature range of -25 to +60 °C. Dimensions are 140 mm (H) x 45 mm (W) x 113.5 mm (D), with a weight of 0.45 kg, ensuring easy installation in tight spaces.
