ABB PSE Softstarter Press Release:
ABB is proud to release the new efficient PSE Softstarter
The new PSE Softstarter is truly the world’s first compact softstarter with torque control and LCD display. It is ideal for any application where space is limited, but where advanced functionality is still required. The PSE softstarter is the latest addition to the ABB softstarter family making it possible to find a suitable softstarter for almost any imaginable application and segment. The PSE combines the most important functions with an efficient and compact design. It is suitable for all common applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, conveyor belts, and many more.
Simple
One of the most important features of any electrical device is that it is easy to set-up and easy to use. The PSE softstarter is equipped with a language neutral backlit display and an easy-to-use four button keypad. In addition, the built-in by-pass provided in this compact unit reduces the number of connections, making it easy to mount and ultimately decreasing both time and cost of installation.
Reliable
The PSE softstarter is designed to ensure exceptional reliability, even in tough and harsh environments. One part in achieving this is that all circuit boards have a protective coating ensuring a reliable operation in tough environments like in waste water plants, where corrosive gases and acids may exist. In addition, efforts have been put into making the whole process reliable, with features such as torque control to eliminate water hammering, and thereby greatly reducing mechanical stress on pump systems.
Efficient
Knowing what the customers want, it has been possible to design a softstarter that really fulfills their needs, without adding unwanted complexity. This gives excellent value for money and together with the built-in by-pass for energy saving makes the PSE softstarter a very efficient choice.
