The PSE softstarter range is the world’s first compact softstarters with Torque Control. This makes the PSE range an excellent
choice for pumping application where water hammering normally is a big problem. With its compact design and advanced
functionality, the PSE is also a very efficient solution for other
common applications such as compressors and fans.
Torque control
The most important function when stopping pumps is torque
control. Since the PSE softstarter is optimized for controlling
pumps, this feature is a must.
Built-in by-pass for energy saving
Using the built-in by-pass after reaching full voltage will greatly
reduce the power loss and thereby save energy. In the PSE
softstarter range, the by-pass is built-in on all sizes, which will
give the most compact starting solution and reduce the need
for wiring during installation.
Coated circuit boards
All circuit boards in the new PSE softstarter have a protective
coating to ensure a reliable operation even in tough environments like wastewater plants, where corrosive gases and acids
may exist.
Motor protection
The PSE softstarter is equipped with built-in electronic overload
protection, protecting the motor from overheating. Since no
additional overload device is needed, our efficient design saves
both space, installation time, and ultimately money.
Analog output
The analog output terminals can be connected to an analog
current meter to show the current during operation and thereby
eliminating the need for an additional current transformer. The
analog output signal can also be used as an analog input to a
PLC.
Display and keypad
The set-up of the PSE softstarter is done by using the four
button keypad and the illuminated display, providing a quick
and easy set-up. While operating, the display will also provide
important status information such as current and voltage.
External keypad
As an option the PSE softstarter can be equipped with an external keypad for easy set-up and monitoring of the unit without
opening the enclosure door. The keypad can also be used to
copy parameters between different softstarters.

Description
The PSE Softstarter can be selected according to the rated motor power in normal duty
applications like pumps, compressors, elevators, escalators, short conveyor belts and
bow thrusters. See page 18.
For heavy duty applications like centrifugal
fans, crushers, mixers, mills, stirrers and long
conveyor belts, select a softstarter from page
19. The softstarter selection tool prosoft can
also be used for a more optimized selection.
