4. Anwendungen

The PSE370-600-70-1 is designed for smooth starting and protection of light to medium-duty three-phase asynchronous motors. Typical applications include:

1. Pump systems: Prevents water hammer, protects pipes and valves
2. Fan systems: Reduces mechanical stress and grid impact
3. Compressors: Smooth starting, extends equipment service life
4. Förderer: Avoids material spillage, ensures stable process control
5. Allgemeine industrielle Anwendungen: General machinery requiring soft start/stop

Especially suitable for: Applications requiring basic soft start functions, limited budget, and compact space. The built-in bypass simplifies installation and lowers operating costs.

7. Installation & Wiring Notes
8. Main circuit connection: Three-phase supply (L1/L2/L3) → Soft starter → Motor. Copper cable recommended; tighten terminals to specified torque.
9. Control circuit connection:

100~250V AC control supply

Start/stop signals (dry contacts)

Fault reset signal

Relay output signals (run/fault indication)

3. Communication connection: Connect to PLC or HMI via Modbus RTU interface
4. Cooling requirements: Install in well-ventilated area with sufficient clearance for heat dissipation
5. Auswahlempfehlungen
6. Select soft starter based on motor rated current (recommended Iₑ ≥ motor rated current)
7. For heavy-duty starting (z.B., Brecher, ball mills), PSTX Series three-phase control is recommended
8. Upgrade recommended for frequent starting (>10 starts/hour) or precise torque control
9. For network integration, choose PSTB Series with Modbus TCP/IP

The PSE370-600-70-1 is the largest economy soft starter in the ABB PSE series, providing reliable motor soft starting and basic protection with high cost-performance, suitable for most industrial applications.
