Why Choose the ABB PSTX142-600-70 Softstarter?

The ABB PSTX142-600-70 is an advanced and reliable softstarter designed for controlled starting and stopping of three-phase motors in demanding industrial automation and process applications. As part of the ABB PSTX softstarter series, it provides intelligent motor control, reduced starting current and enhanced equipment protection for medium and large motor applications.

This softstarter uses ABB’s advanced PSTX technology with three-phase controlled soft start and soft stop through voltage ramp or torque ramp control. The integrated bypass contactor simplifies installation, reduces power losses during normal operation and improves overall system efficiency.

With a rated operational current of 142 A and a main supply voltage range of 208–600 V AC, the PSTX142-600-70 is suitable for motors up to approximately 75 kW at 400 V AC in-line connection and 132 kW at 400 V AC in inside-delta connection applications.
