Product Introduction
The ABB PSE170-600-70 is an advanced digital softstarter belonging to ABB’s efficient PSE series. Engineered for three-phase motor control applications up to 170 A, it provides smooth, reliable motor starting and stopping by optimizing voltage and current profiles.
Equipped with built-in electronic overload protection, torque control, and a user-friendly backlit display with plain text messaging, the PSE series reduces mechanical stress on pumps, conveyors, fans, and compressors while protecting the electrical network from heavy inrush current spikes.

Compliance & Standards Alignment
- Designed and manufactured in accordance with major international industrial frameworks including IEC 60947-4-2 and UL 508 / CSA C22.2 standards.
- Built with integrated robust EMC filtering to resist high-frequency electrical disturbances within industrial switchgear assemblies.
Technical Note: Always verify phase rotation, motor full-load amperes (FLA), and bypass configuration parameters via the keypad display or ABB accessory software tools prior to initial motor run tests.
Storage & Asset Preservation Guidelines
- Keep the softstarter sealed inside its original packaging or anti-static barrier to protect internal semiconductor switching chips and control logic boards from environmental dust and humidity.
- Store inventory in a clean, climate-controlled warehouse where relative humidity is strictly maintained below 60%.
- Avoid exposing the unit to heavy mechanical drops or stacking dense objects directly on top of the housing chassis.
Physical Installation Prerequisites
- Ensure that all incoming high-voltage power feeds and control circuits are completely de-energized and locked out (LOTO) prior to physical mounting or wiring.
- Mount the softstarter vertically on a flat panel backplate, maintaining minimum air clearance dimensions above and below the housing to allow proper heat dissipation convection.
- Connect main circuit cables securely to the terminal blocks, ensuring proper torque limits are applied to prevent loose connections or high-resistance heating.
Buyer’s FAQ & Logistics
Q: What Harmonized System (HS) code applies to the international shipment of this softstarter?
A: Industrial motor controllers, starters, and static converters typically classify under HS code 8504.40 (Static converters) or 8537.10 (boards, panels, consoles for electric control). Confirm final classification parameters with your licensed customs broker.
Q: Does the PSE170 require an external bypass contactor?
| A: No, the PSE series features built-in electronic bypass contactors, reducing energy losses, minimizing cabinet heat generation, and simplifying external wiring design.
Q: Is the listed online price final for procurement?
A: Note: Price is subject to market conditions and available surplus inventory levels; contact our technical sales desk for a formal, time-sensitive quotation.
