ABB 1SFA897106R7000 PSE60-600-70 softstarter provides controlled starting and stopping for three-phase motors with a 60 A rating and 208–600 V AC operating range.
The ABB 1SFA897106R7000, type PSE60-600-70, is a compact and reliable softstarter designed to provide smooth starting and stopping control for three-phase AC motors. Part of ABB’s PSE softstarter range, it reduces mechanical stress and electrical inrush currents during motor acceleration, helping improve equipment reliability and operational efficiency in industrial applications.
The PSE60-600-70 provides two-phase motor control with soft start and soft stop functions through voltage or torque ramp control. It includes built-in electronic motor overload protection, current limit functionality, kick-start capability, bypass operation and relay outputs for run, top-of-ramp and event signalling.
With a rated operational current of 60 A and an operating voltage range of 208–600 V AC, the PSE60-600-70 is suitable for small and medium-sized three-phase motors used in applications such as pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors. Its integrated bypass contactor function helps simplify installation and reduce energy losses during normal operation.
