ABB Soft Starter Highlights

Reliability

Reduce the electrical stresses and keep the motor protected with the MMS
The PSR reduces the starting current for the motor. The possibility to connect it
to the manual motor starter makes it possible to build a compact and complete
starting solution with overload and short-circuit protection.

Efficiency

Saving time and money with built-in bypass and easy set-up
On the PSR, the bypass is built in and verified by ABB, saving you time during
installation and space in your panel. Set-up is done through three potentiometers
making it very fast and easy.

Productivity

Reduce the mechanical stresses on your motor
Soft start and stop with PSR will reduce mechanical wear and tear on the
application and increase the availability and uptime.

ABB Soft Starter Highlights

Reliability

Basic motor protection and current limit
The PSE includes the most important protections for handling different load
situations that can happen to pumps e.g. overload and underload. The current
limit gives you more control of the motor during start and allows you to start your
motor in weaker networks.

Efficiency

Saving time and money with built-in bypass and compact design
On the PSE, the bypass is built in and verified by ABB, saving you time during
installation and space in your panel. The keypad is language neutral and
illuminated for easy set-up and operation in field. The compact design makes
installation fast and easy.

Productivity

Torque control for elimination of water hammering in pumps
Torque control is the most efficient way to stop a full speed pump. The PSE has a
special torque stop ramp that is designed together with a pump manufacturer to
eliminate water hammering in an optimal way
