Overview

The ABB PSR6-600-70 softstarter (SKU: PSR6-600-70) provides controlled acceleration and deceleration for three-phase motors, offering basic functionality in a compact form factor. This unit employs two-phase control via a voltage ramp for smooth motor starts and stops, minimizing mechanical stress and power surges. It is rated for a maximum operational current of 6 A and operates across a broad voltage range of 208 to 600 V AC. The control voltage is versatile, accepting 100 to 240 V AC at 50/60 Hz. Key features include a built-in bypass contactor. This bypass function energizes once the motor reaches full speed, reducing energy consumption and heat generation within the softstarter. Installation is simplified, and setup is straightforward, managed by three potentiometers on the front panel for adjusting start and stop ramp times. Operational monitoring is facilitated by a RUN signal available from a relay output in a normally open (NO) state. A Top of Ramp relay is also provided for additional control logic. The PSR6-600-70 is part of ABB's PSR series, designed for small three-phase motors with nominal currents ranging from 3 to 105 A. It can accommodate up to 100 starts per hour, making it suitable for applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors. For enhanced system integration, mechanical connection kits are available to pair the PSR6-600-70 with ABB's manual motor starters (MMS). Fieldbus communication can also be enabled through an external adapter and plug for connection to advanced automation systems. This softstarter delivers reliable motor control for industrial applications.
