Why Choose the ABB PSRC72-600-70 Softstarter?

The ABB PSRC72-600-70 is a compact and reliable softstarter designed for controlled starting and stopping of three-phase motors in industrial automation and machinery applications. As part of the ABB PSRC softstarter series, it provides a simple and efficient solution for reducing motor starting current, minimising mechanical stress and improving equipment reliability.

This softstarter features ABB’s compact PSR technology with two-phase controlled soft start and stop through a voltage ramp. The built-in bypass contactor simplifies installation, reduces power losses during normal operation and helps improve system efficiency.

With a rated operational current of 72 A and a main supply voltage range of 208–600 V AC, the PSRC72-600-70 is suitable for a wide range of small and medium three-phase motor applications including pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors.

Key Advantages

  • Compact softstarter designed for industrial motor control applications.
  • 72 A rated operational current for medium-duty motor starting.
  • 208–600 V AC main voltage range for flexible installation.
  • Integrated bypass contactor for efficient operation after starting.
  • Two-phase controlled soft start and stop using voltage ramp technology.
  • Simple adjustment and installation with compact ABB PSR design.

Key Features

  • ABB PSRC softstarter series.
  • 72 A rated operational current.
  • 208–600 V AC motor supply voltage.
  • 100–240 V AC control supply voltage.
  • Two-phase controlled soft start and soft stop.
  • Built-in bypass contactor.
  • RUN and top-of-ramp (TOR) relay signalling.
  • Front-mounted potentiometers for setting start and stop ramp parameters.
  • Optional fieldbus communication using external adaptor.

Reliable Motor Starting for Industrial Applications

Softstarters such as the ABB PSRC72-600-70 gradually increase motor voltage during acceleration, reducing inrush current and mechanical shock compared with direct-on-line starting. This helps protect motors, couplings and driven machinery while improving operational reliability.

The ABB PSRC series provides a compact motor starting solution for applications where basic soft start and stop functionality, simple commissioning and dependable performance are required.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial pumps.
  • Fans and ventilation systems.
  • Scroll compressors.
  • Material handling conveyors.
  • Industrial machinery.
  • OEM automation equipment.
