Overview

The ABB PSTX Extreme Duty Enclosed Softstarter (SKU: X400-B4-48-XD) is a pre-engineered, turnkey solution for heavy-duty motor control in harsh industrial environments. This enclosed unit integrates the PSTX softstarter base with TMAX XT breakers inside a UL Type 4 (NEMA 4) enclosure, providing complete protection against dust, moisture, and mechanical damage. Designed for reliability and uptime, it includes an AC-3 emergency bypass to maintain motor operation during equipment failure, allowing critical processes to continue until scheduled maintenance. Rated for Normal Duty class 10 starts at 500HP/590A and Heavy Duty class 30 starts at 400HP/480A, this softstarter features a high short-circuit current rating (SSCR) of 65kA at 480V. The door-mounted control panel simplifies setup and operation with a PSTX keypad featuring a graphical display and built-in assistants, a Hand-Off-Auto (HOA) selector switch, start/stop pushbuttons, and pilot lights for power on, run, and fault status. An integrated normal/emergency bypass selector switch with dedicated controls ensures uninterrupted operation in critical applications. Advanced motor protection includes three current limit types (standard, dual, ramp) and torque control for pump management, preventing water hammer and pressure surges. The built-in bypass activates at full speed for energy efficiency and extended product life. Additional features include a pump cleaning function for pipe clearing, slow-speed forward/reverse jog for conveyors and cranes, and conformal-coated electronics for resistance to dust, moisture, and corrosion. Ideal for heavy industrial applications requiring robust motor control, this unit combines ABB’s PSTX softstarter technology with branch protection and environmental sealing for long-term reliability.

MTR DIN MT SOFT START 480V 3A
The softstarter PSR9-600-11 has a rated maximum operational current of 9 A with an operating voltage span from 208...600 V AC. The rated control voltage is 24 V AC/DC. 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.
