Applications & Use Cases

The ABB PSE170-600-70 soft starter is engineered for demanding industrial motor control applications where abrupt starting and stopping would cause mechanical stress or power disturbances. Typical applications include:

• Pumps and compressors — eliminating water hammer and pressure spikes
• Conveyor systems and belt drives — gradual acceleration reduces belt and coupling wear
• Fans and blowers — controlled ramp-up for HVAC and process ventilation
• Mixers and agitators — smooth starts preventing product splashing and equipment shock
• Industrial automation and control panels requiring IEC 60947-1 compliant motor starters
