Overview

The ABB PSR30-600-70 softstarter (SKU: PSR30-600-70) is a compact, two-phase controlled softstarter designed for three-phase motors with rated operational currents from 3 to 105 A. This specific model handles up to 30 A with an operating voltage range of 208 to 600 V AC, making it suitable for small to medium industrial motors. The softstarter features a built-in bypass for energy savings and easy installation, reducing power loss during full-speed operation. Soft start and stop are achieved via a voltage ramp, minimizing mechanical stress on motor components and extending equipment lifespan. Setup is simplified with three front-panel potentiometers for adjusting start/stop ramp times. The rated control supply voltage is 100 to 240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial power systems. Monitoring capabilities include RUN and TOR (Top of Ramp) relay outputs in a normally open configuration. For system integration, Fieldbus communication can be enabled using an external adapter and plug, allowing connection to advanced automation networks. The PSR30-600-70 is compatible with ABB’s manual motor starters (MMS) via available mechanical connection kits. It supports up to 100 starts per hour, making it ideal for applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors. Its compact design is optimized for installations where space is constrained, offering essential functionality without compromising performance. The product is manufactured in Germany (DE) and distributed by ABB - Electrification. Key technical specifications include a rated insulation voltage of 600 V, maximum altitude of 4000 m, ambient operating temperature range of -25°C to +60°C, and degree of protection IP20 for the main circuit. The device consumes 12 VA at 100-240 V AC and 5 W at 24 V AC/DC. Signal relays provide 3 A AC-15 (contactor) resistive load for run and top-of-ramp monitoring.
