Key Differences Between ABB PSTX300-600-70-1 and PSTX300-600-70
- Official Model Definition & Order Codes
Model standard: PSTX300-600-70, official order code: 1SFA898114R7000
Model with suffix-1: PSTX300-600-70-1, typically corresponds to 1SFA898114R7001 (special configuration version)
- Core Differences
| Articol | PSTX300‑600‑70 (Standard) | PSTX300‑600‑70‑1 (‑1 Version) |
| Control voltage | 100–240V AC (50/60Hz universal) | 24În DC (DC control supply) |
| Suffix meaning | “70” indicates standard AC control voltage | “‑1” typically indicates 24V DC control version |
| Aplicație | General industrial and commercial use, standard AC control circuits | Suitable for safety circuits, Control PLC, DC control systems and other low‑voltage control applications |
| Communication | Identic: built‑in Modbus RTU/TCP, EtherNet/IP, BACnet | Identic |

| Physical dimensions | Identic: 250×368×190mm, 12kg, 35mm DIN rail mount | Identic |
- Detailed Description
- 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) / 200HP (460V) motoare
3-phase fully controlled thyristor control with integrated bypass contactor (operating power ≤1.5W)
Multiple starting modes: voltage ramp, controlul cuplului, current limit
15 motor protection functions: suprasarcina, locked rotor, phase loss, phase imbalance, earth fault, etc.
Removable graphic HMI panel with 15 language support
- Recomandări de selecție
- 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.
