Type PSS Softstarters

General Information

ABB low voltage softstarters now cover the whole range from 3A to 1250A. The new PSS line brings a wide array of benefits for smaller motors in a flexible, compact form.

Compact line

PSS03 to PSS25 softstarters are a very compact solution for starting small motors with rated current from 3 to 25A. They are suitable for 230, 400, 500 and 600V and designed for DIN rail mounting.
The built-in bypass contacts allow you to build space-saving, compact designs.
Adjustable parameters include acceleration time and initial voltage for starting and deceleration time for stopping. In addition, these units cover a control voltage range of 24 - 110 VAC/DC and 100V - 277 VAC.
UL File # E161428

Flexible line

PSS18/30 to PSS300/515 softstarters provide a flexible solution for motor starting. Rated motor currents are covered from 18A to 300A when connected in line like a traditional full voltage starter. These units can also be wired inside the motor-delta, like a wye-delta starter, covering motors up to 515A. This flexibility makes it easier than ever before to replace wye-delta starters.
The total solid state solution - with no moving contacts in the power circuit - is an attractive solution for applications with many starts per hour. Adjustable parameters include acceleration time, initial voltage and optional current limit for starting and deceleration time for stopping.
Class 10 overload protection is standard for Type PSS enclosed softstarters.
