ABB’s PSTX, PSE and PSR Ranges of Soft Starters have been designed to help increase your motor’s lifetime by protecting it from the continual stresses caused when starting. This is done by letting you optimise your motors starting currents, which with conventional starting methods applies lots of stress on the motor and the associated electrical network.
The dependable and field proven PSTX, PSE and PSR Ranges of Motor Starters are packed with innovative built-in motor protection features to ensure that your installation is kept safe. These capable Soft Starters are also installation-friendly and easy to use, cutting your assembly and start-up time considerably. With everything that you need in one unit, from bypass contactor to overload protection, a single Soft Starter makes for a compact complete and cost-effective Motor Starting solution.
Furthermore, with many application specific features, such as torque control and pump cleaning these Soft Starters can ultimately help you increase productivity, throughput and much more than simply Soft Starting. These Starters are ideal for numerous industrial and commercial motor starting applications from processing line conveyor systems to liquid pumps found in food and beverage installations.
