Compact softstarter introduced
November 1st 2006

ABB has expanded its softstarter range with the launch of a compact version for small to medium sized motors. Designed for motors currents from 3 to 45A, and motor voltages of up to 600V, the PSR compact softstarter complements ABB's existing PSS and PST ranges for applications from 3A to 1050A.

Ideal for pump, fan and mixer conveyor applications, the PSR Softstarter range is designed to minimise starting currents and reduce te risk of current spikes in small to medium-sized motors. This helps to minimise the impact of motor starting on the electrical network and also prolongs the life of mechanical components.

The PSR range can manage ten starts per hour. If greater starting capacities are required, an auxillary cooling fan is available, enabling starting capacity to be increased to 20 starts per hour.
