- Descripción detallada
- Control voltage difference: This is the fundamental distinction. The standard version uses 100–240V AC control power, while the-1 version uses 24V DC to suit different control system power supplies
- Configuration positioning: The “-1” suffix in ABB soft starter naming generally denotes a 24V DC control version, designed for integration with PLC, DCS and other DC control systems, or safety applications requiring electrical isolation between control and main circuits
- Functional consistency: Except for control voltage, all core functions are identical:
300A rated operational current, suitable for 160kW (400V) / 200caballos de fuerza (460V) motores
3-phase fully controlled thyristor control with integrated bypass contactor (operating power ≤1.5W)
Multiple starting modes: voltage ramp, torque control, current limit
15 motor protection functions: sobrecarga, rotor bloqueado, pérdida de fase, phase imbalance, falla a tierra, etc..
Removable graphic HMI panel with 15 language support
- Recomendaciones de selección
- Control supply matching: Select standard version for AC control systems and-1 version for DC control systems
- Safety requirements: For safety applications requiring isolation between control and main circuits, the 24V DC-1 version is preferred
- Spare parts management: Distinguish between the two models to avoid failure due to control voltage mismatch
- Replacement compatibility: Identical mounting, communication and protection features; interchangeable with appropriate control power supply (subject to system compatibility check)
The only substantive difference between ABB PSTX300-600-70-1 and PSTX300-600-70 is the control voltage: standard version is 100–240V AC, while the-1 version is 24V DC. All other core parameters, functions and physical dimensions are identical. Selection should be based on control system power type and safety requirements.
