The ABB PSE250‑600‑70 Soft Starter is an industrial electronic motor soft starter designed for smooth starting and stopping control of three‑phase induction motors. It provides reduced electrical and mechanical stress during motor start‑up by controlling voltage or torque ramp application, helping improve system reliability and extend motor life. This soft starter includes built‑in electronic overload protection, LED status indicators, and signal relays, and is suitable for use in pumps, compressors, fans, conveyors, and general industrial motor control applications. Operating voltages range widely, making it adaptable for multiple installations.
