Overview

The ABB PSTX normal duty enclosed softstarter (SKU: X250-B4-48-ND) provides reliable motor control for normal duty applications up to 250HP and 302A at 480V. This unit integrates the PSTX softstarter with a TMAX XT breaker, offering a 65kA Short-Circuit Current Rating (SSCR) at 480V. The enclosure is Type 4 rated for protection against environmental ingress. Control is facilitated via door-mounted pilot devices, including the PSTX keypad, a Hand-Off-Auto selector switch, Start and Stop pushbuttons, and Power On, Run, and Fault pilot lights. The detachable PSTX keypad features an IP66/4X rating for outdoor use. This softstarter is rated for Class 10 normal duty starts (up to 10 starts per hour) for 250HP/302A applications. For heavy duty applications, it supports Class 30 starts (up to 30 starts per hour) for 200HP/248A. The TMAX XT breaker component is a 250A frame, with specific catalog references indicating options like XT4N (25kA), XT4S (35kA), XT4L (100kA), XT4V (150kA), and XT4X (200kA) for different short-circuit ratings. The unit specified here utilizes a 65kA rating, consistent with the XT4N series at 240V, and is housed in an enclosure with variable heights up to 48 inches, with this specific model likely fitting within the 48x36x16 inch dimensions mentioned previously. Applications include belt thrusters, centrifugal pumps, compressors, and conveyors. Features like torque control enable smooth pump stops, mitigating water hammer. Coated PCBs offer resistance to dust, moisture, and corrosive atmospheres. The operational voltage range is 208–690V (50/60Hz), with operation in ambient temperatures from -25°C to +60°C. Derating is available for installations up to 4000 meters altitude. Manufactured in the US by ABB - Electrification.

The softstarter PSR12-600-70 has a rated maximum operational current of 12 A with an operating voltage span from 208...600 V AC. The rated control voltage is between 100...240 V AC at 50/60 Hz. PSR features a two-phase control soft start and stop through a voltage ramp. It has built-in bypass for easy installation and energy saving. A RUN signal is available from a relay output in NO (normally open state). The start/stop ramp and time is easy to set by three potentiometers on the front. PSR is often used in combination with a manual motor starter (MMS) from ABB, so mechanical connection kits are available. Another popular option is Fieldbus communication, which can be enabled by an external adaptor and a Fieldbus plug. The PSR range is our most compact softstarters with basic functionality and values. They are suitable for small three-phase motors with nominal currents from 3...105 A and can manage up to 100 starts per hour. Common applications are, for example, pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors.
