Why Choose the ABB PSR12-600-70 Softstarter?
The ABB PSR12-600-70, order code 1SFA896106R7000, is a compact two-phase-controlled softstarter designed to provide smooth starting and stopping of three-phase asynchronous motors. As part of the ABB PSR compact softstarter range, it helps reduce electrical starting current and mechanical stress on motors, belts, couplings and driven machinery.
This softstarter combines voltage-ramp control with a built-in bypass, reducing power losses during normal operation while saving space and installation time inside the control panel. Three front-mounted potentiometers provide straightforward adjustment of the start ramp, stop ramp and initial or end voltage.
With a rated operational current of 12 A, an operational voltage range of 208–600 V AC and an IEC motor rating of 5.5 kW at 400 V, the PSR12-600-70 provides a compact starting solution for pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors and other industrial machinery. Its 100–240 V AC control supply supports straightforward integration into a wide range of control systems.

Reliable Soft Starting for Industrial Motors
Softstarters such as the ABB PSR12-600-70 gradually increase the voltage supplied to a motor during starting. This limits starting current and torque peaks, helping to reduce voltage disturbances and mechanical shock throughout the driven system.
The PSR range is designed for compact motor-control installations and can be combined with an ABB manual motor starter to provide overload and short-circuit protection. Its integrated bypass and uncomplicated potentiometer settings make it suitable for machine builders, panel builders and industrial maintenance applications.
Typical Applications
- Pumps and water-handling equipment.
- Fans and ventilation systems.
- Conveyors and material-handling machinery.
- Compressors and industrial machinery.
- Machine tools and processing equipment.
- Compact motor-control panels and OEM equipment.
