Overview

The ABB Electrification PSR72-600-70 softstarter (SKU: PSR72-600-70) is a compact and efficient solution for controlling three-phase motors. Designed for nominal currents ranging from 3 to 105 A, this model offers a rated maximum operational current of 72 A. It operates within a broad voltage range of 208–600 V AC, with a control voltage of 100–240 V AC at 50/60 Hz. This softstarter employs a two-phase controlled soft start and stop mechanism utilizing a voltage ramp. This method effectively reduces mechanical stress on motors and connected equipment, contributing to extended operational life. The integrated bypass function enhances energy efficiency by automatically engaging once the motor reaches full speed, bypassing the softstarter components. User-friendly operation is facilitated by three potentiometers on the front panel, allowing for easy adjustment of start and stop ramp times. For system monitoring and integration, the PSR72-600-70 provides normally open (NO) relay outputs for RUN and TOR (Thermal Overload Relay) signals. Key specifications include an IEC rated operational power of 37 kW at 400 V and 50 HP at 440-480 V (UL). The UL max FLA is 68 A. The unit supports 10 standard starts per hour, which can be increased to 20 starts per hour with an optional auxiliary fan. Optional accessories enhance its versatility. Mechanical connection kits are available for seamless integration with ABB Manual Motor Starters (MMS). Fieldbus communication capabilities can be enabled through an external adapter and Fieldbus plug, allowing for advanced control and monitoring within industrial networks. Common applications for the ABB PSR72-600-70 softstarter include pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors, where smooth motor acceleration and deceleration are critical for performance and longevity. The main circuit protection is rated IP10, and the control circuit protection is IP20. The ambient operating temperature range is -25 to +60 °C.
