ABB softstarters - The complete range
ABB offers four different ranges of softstarters to cover every customer need for solutions for motor sizes up to 1800 A. This page decribes the main characteristics of the different softstarter ranges

PSR - The compact range
The PSR softstarter is the most compact of all the softstarter ranges, thereby making it possible to design compact starting equipments. The system concept with Manual Motor  tarters and the PSR provides a far more compact starting solution than for instance a star delta starter. Built-in by-pass reduces the energy loss and makes the connection easier and with only three potentiometers, the set-up couldn't be any easier. Still, the optimized ramping characteristics will ensure a very smooth start and stop for all applications.
PSE - The efficient range
The PSE soitstarter is the world's first compact softstarter with both built-in electronic overload for motor protection and torque control for an excellent control of pumps. The  ompact design with the most important functionality integrated provides a very efficient starting solution. The illuminated language neutral display and the four button keypad  make it easy to take advantage of all the advanced functionality in the softstarter. The display will also provide all the necessary information both during

PST(B) - The advanced range
The PST(B) softstarter is the most advanced sottstarter in the range with almost all imaginable functionality included. All the advanced protections for the motor, the softstarter and the load ensure a trouble free operation. Pre-warnings even aliow problems to be detected before the motor needs to be stopped The torque control function has been developed and tested together with well known pump manufacturers to ensure the absolutely best possible stop of pumps without water hammering and pressure surges. and there by avoiding unnecessary downtime.
With the full text LCD display in your own language, pre-prow grammed
application settings and event logging, it couldn't be easier to set-up and operate.
By using the ABB FieldBusPlug, you can decide at any time which bus protocol to use. The fieldbus system will allow you to set-up, control and monitor the sottstarter.


The PSTX combines many years of research and product development with extensive knowledge of application specific requirements and needs.
It is our latest advancement in motor control and protection and adds new functionality and increased reliability.
