£2,405.39
The ABB PSE170-600-70 is a compact and reliable softstarter designed for smooth starting and stopping of three-phase motors in industrial applications. As part of the ABB PSE softstarter range, it provides efficient motor control, reduced mechanical stress and improved operational reliability for pumps, fans, compressors and conveyor systems.
The PSE170-600-70 uses two-phase control technology with soft start and soft stop through voltage or torque ramp functions. Its integrated bypass function helps reduce energy losses during normal operation, while built-in motor protection functions simplify installation and improve system safety.
With a rated operational current of 170 A and an operating voltage range of 208–600 V AC, the ABB PSE170-600-70 is suitable for controlling medium-sized three-phase motors in industrial motor control applications.
Softstarters such as the ABB PSE170-600-70 control motor voltage during acceleration and deceleration to reduce mechanical shock, limit starting current and improve the service life of motors and connected machinery.
The ABB PSE range combines straightforward installation with advanced motor protection, communication options and adjustable control parameters, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial motor applications.
