ABB 1SFA896107R7000 PSR16-600-70 16A 3P 208-600V AC 7.5kW Softstarter

The ABB PSR16-600-70 softstarter (SKU 1SFA896107R7000) is a compact 3-pole, 16A electronic motor soft-starting device designed for smooth acceleration and deceleration of three-phase AC induction motors rated up to 7.5 kW. Operating across a wide supply voltage range of 208–600 V AC with a control voltage of 110–250 V, the PSR16-600-70 reduces mechanical stress, inrush current, and wear on driven machinery during start and stop cycles, making it ideal for conveyors, pumps, fans, and compressors in industrial automation environments.

Applications & Use Cases

The ABB PSR16-600-70 softstarter is well suited for a broad range of industrial and commercial motor-driven applications where controlled starting and stopping is essential. Typical deployments include centrifugal pumps, HVAC fans, belt conveyors, compressors, and agitators. By limiting peak inrush current during start-up, the PSR16-600-70 helps reduce demand charges, protects mechanical couplings, and extends the service life of motors and driven equipment. Its wide supply voltage range (208–600 V AC) and compact 45 mm DIN-rail footprint make it straightforward to integrate into existing control panels across global installations.
