This unit builds upon the robust features of the standard PSTX series, specifically scaled for heavy-duty operations and housed within a NEMA Type 4 enclosure for superior environmental protection. Key to its extreme duty designation is the integrated AC-3 emergency bypass, ensuring continuous operation even during critical fault conditions. The enclosure consolidates an ABB PSTX softstarter with TMAX XT breakers, offering comprehensive motor control and protection. The door-mounted interface provides intuitive operator control and status monitoring, featuring a PSTX keypad, Hand-Off-Auto (H-O-A) selector switch, Start and Stop pushbuttons, and pilot lights for Power On, Run, and Fault status. Additionally, a dedicated Normal/Emergency bypass selector switch, along with Start/Stop pushbuttons and a pilot light for the emergency bypass, allows for seamless transitions during maintenance or emergencies. This softstarter is rated for Normal Duty Class 10 starts at 125 HP / 169 A and Heavy Duty Class 30 starts at 100 HP / 130 A. It boasts a Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) of 65 kA and operates at 480 V AC. The integrated TMAX XT breakers, such as the 150A-XT4 or 225A-XT4, and potentially frames like XT3 or XT4, ensure reliable circuit protection. The unit is designed for applications requiring smooth motor acceleration, reduced mechanical stress on machinery, and extended equipment lifespan in harsh industrial settings. Its US origin and UNSPSC code 39121521 further define its market positioning.
