phases 1 and 3 (L1 and L3).
3.1 Overview
The PSE Softstarter is a microprocessor-based softstarter designed with the latest
technology for soft starting and soft stopping of three-phase squirrel cage motors.
The softstarter has several advanced features as standard.
• Integrated by-pass in phases L1 and L3, see fi gure 3.1.
• Thyristors are used on phases L1 and L3 for controlling the motor voltage.
1SFC132253F0001
• Select between voltage ramp or torque control during start and stop.
• Motor protection, as well as underload and locked rotor protection.
The keypad on the front is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, with a clear
display showing icons.
The PSE Softstarter can be controlled in two ways:
• Hardwire inputs control
• Fieldbus communication interface
Only one type of control method can be enabled simultaneously. Default selection
is hardwire inputs control.
The integrated fans for cooling are operated only during ramping ( start/stop) and
when the temperature of the heat sink is high. The temperature is monitored by a
thermistor mounted on the heat sink.
Phase L2 is directly connected to the motor, see fi gure 3.1.
Figure 3.2: Torque control is offered as standard
with the PSE softstarter.
Check that you have the correct product in regards to operational voltage, control
supply voltage and rated motor data. See chapter 3.3 Type designation.
The PSE18...PSE370 Softstarters operates over wide voltage ranges.
• Rated operational voltage 208 - 600 V AC
• Rated control supply voltage 100 - 250 V AC
Warning!
The product should only be used within the specifi ed ratings.
Be aware of the ambient temperature and altitude above sea level. Derating
is required above 40 °C (104 °F) and above 1000 m (3281 ft).

Figure 5.1: Connection of PSE Softstarter and connection in series with a line contactor.
For basic connection, see Chapter 2 Quickstart.
For circuit diagrams for connection of the softstarter, see Chapter 11 Wiring
diagrams.
5.2 Electrical connection
5.2.1 Considerations when controlling two of three phases
Even when stopped, there will be a voltage on the motor on phase 2. This will
not start the motor and the motor will not be heated up (compare with inside
delta connection). For more information about two phase control see Chapter 3
Description.
Semiconductors do not replace air isolation and the recommended solution is to
use a line contactor to break the current. See fi gure 5.1.
Warning!
1SFC132237F0001
Depending on the two phase control a connected motor terminal always
carries live voltage. Touching terminals and other live parts can result in
death or serious injury.
Softstarters Type PSE18...PSE370 Installation and commissioning manual 1SFC132057M020132 Chapter 5
Page 33
Since Softstarters PSE18…PSE370 has control in two phases, the connection
must be done In Line only, in accordance with the circuit diagrams in fi gure 5.2
and in Chapter 11.
PSE
1SFC132265F0001
Figure 5.2: ABB PSE Softstarter must be connected In Line only.
PSE
Warning!
1SFC132263F0001
Softstarters PSE18...PSE370 must not be connected Inside Delta since this
will cause damage to the equipment and there is a risk of death or serious
injury. Figure 5.2.
5.2.2 Before connecting softstarters PSE18...PSE170
Warning!
Before connecting the PSE18...PSE170 to operational voltage(Ue) for the
fi rst time, the supply voltage(Us) must be connected and turned on to
ensure the bypass relay is switched to open position. This is necessary to
avoid unintentional starting of the equipment during the connection.

5.4 Cyber Security Deployment Guideline
Cybersecurity has become of key importance for ABB customers and ABB alike.
There are several reason for that, one of them is the modern control systems that
can be distributed and interconnected, which means an increased attack surface
compared to legacy and isolated systems. The PSE softstarter can be connected
to different industial control networks either using the built-in Modbus RTU or by
using additional fi eldbus plugs.
Important: The intention with the product is not to connect it to Internet.
To protect the reliability, integrity and availability of the softstarter against
unauthorized access or attack the following countermeasures should be taken:
Restrict physical access to softstarter and industrial control network to authorized
people only. The recommendation is to install the softstarter in a locked cabinet.
PSE softstarters should only be connected to private networks. It’s the customers
responsibility to establish additional security measures if softstarter is to be
connected to unknown or public networks. Example of such security measures
are fi rewall, smart switches and VPN.
Backup/Restore - To minimize the downtime in case of malfunctioning softstarter
for some reason, the recommendation is to backup the softstarter parameters
using SoftstarterCare - Service Engineer Tool. The parameters can then be
restored using SoftstarterCare. Instruction on how to backup and restore
parameters are part of SoftstarterCare product documentation.

6.1 Overview
6.1.1 Application
The Human-Machine Interface is used for several purposes such as setting up the
PSE Softstarter parameters, including protection functions and fi eldbus communi-
cation. The HMI is also providing status information by LED status indicators and
the LCD display.
The PSE Softstarter monitors and displays different values. When switching on the
supply voltage the LCD will fi rst display the Information Level, which is showing
motor current, input voltage on the line side, power factor, and voltage to the motor.
The Information Level also displays information on whether the keypad is locked
or unlocked.
1SFC132235F0001
6.1.2 Design
The appearance of the HMI is showed in fi gure 6.1.
The HMI consists of:
• LED status indicators
• LCD display with backlight
• Selection and navigation keys
On start-up all LCD segments and LEDs will be briefl y illuminated.
The LCD backlight will automatically turn off after some time of inactivity. Turn it on
by pressing any key.
When switching on the supply voltage the LCD will fi rst illuminate all available seg-
ments, LEDs and the backlight. Thereafter the Information Level is displayed. See
fi gure 7.1.

time and unnecessary heating of the motor.
7.2 Parameter settings
Settings can be done in four different ways:
• Keypad
• Fieldbus communication (option)
• External keypad (option)
• SoftstarterCare
With the keypad or external keypad, settings can be done as individual parameter
setting of all essential parameters.
When the fi eldbus communication (option) is enabled, most parameters can also
be modifi ed from this interface.
User default parameter set is stored in the unit for a possible reset to default values. See chapter 7.7.1 about resetting parameters to user default values.

This chapter describes all settings and functions possible in the PSE Softstarter,
as well as the easiest way of fi nding them. Respective default values, setting
ranges and parameter strings shown in the display are also stated.
7.5.1 Rated Current Ie of motor
This parameter allows for confi guring of the current that the softstarter will be

Warning!
Connecting Softstarters PSE18...PSE370 Inside Delta will cause damage to

7.5.2 Start Ramp Time
The Start Ramp Time parameter allows for tuning of the time for the start ramp to
reach full voltage (Top of Ramp, TOR).
U
rpm
Figure 7.5: The function of Start Ramp Time
This parameter is controlling both voltage controlled and torque controlled start
ramps.
When a start signal is given the PSE Softstarter performs a start ramp by controlling the output voltage to the motor so that the voltage is increased linearly from
the initial voltage level to full voltage. Since the torque depends on both the voltage and the current, the torque curve does not always follow the voltage curve.
This has the effect that the torque curve will not increase linearly. If parameter
Torque Control Start is set to OFF, a voltage ramp will be performed during the
start ramp. The voltage and RPM of the motor will follow the graph in fi gure 7.5. If
a torque curve with linear increase is preferred, choose Torque Control during start
ramp described in chapter 7.5.6.
Display Default value Setting range Description
10 s 0–30 s Setting time for volt-
age controlled, and

The time set in Start Ramp Time is also the setting for the time in Torque Control
Start, if this parameter is enabled.

7.5.3 Stop Ramp Time
The Stop Ramp Time parameter allows for tuning of the time for the stop ramp to
reach the End Voltage from Top of Ramp ( TOR).
When a stop signal is given the PSE Softstarter performs a stop ramp by controlling the output voltage to the motor so that the voltage is decreased linearly from
full voltage to the end voltage level. Since the torque depends on both the voltage
and the current, the torque curve does not always follow the voltage curve. This
has the effect that the torque curve will not decrease linearly. If parameter Torque
Control during stop is set to OFF, will a voltage ramp be performed during the
stop ramp. The voltage and RPM of the motor will follow the graph in fi gure 7.7. If
a torque curve with linear decrease is preferred, set Torque Control during stop to
On. See chapter 7.5.7.
This parameter shall be set to OFF for applications with a big fl ywheel mass
involved.

7.5.4 Initial/End Voltage
This parameter makes it possible to set the initial voltage level where the start
ramp begins. The value for end voltage where the stop ramp ends, will automatically be 10 percent lower than the initial voltage.
During start ramp will then the voltage increase from the initial voltage level, to full
voltage.
During stop ramp will the voltage decrease from full voltage to the end voltage
level and then cut the power to the motor. Figure 7.9.

It is possible to limit the starting current by using this function. The limit can not
be exceeded during start and stop ramp. When the Current Limit is reached, the
output voltage stays stable until the current level falls below the limit, then the
ramping continues.
The relation between Current Limit, the current I to the motor and the output voltage is described in fi gure 7.13.

The starting current must be high enough to make it possible for the motor to reach the rated speed. The lowest possible current depends on the
performance of the motor and the characteristics of the load. If the Current
Limit is set too low, it will cause longer starting time and unnecessary heating of the motor.

7.5.6 Torque Control during start ramp
It is possible to use the torque control during the start by activating this parameter.
Torque control results in a more linear accelerating of the speed in a majority of
applications.
When using the torque control the output voltage to the motor is controlled so
that the motor torque will follow a predefi ned optimal curve from the initial voltage
level to full voltage during start.
This has the benefi t that the mechanical starting behavior of the equipment driven
by the motor will be much softer compared to the use of voltage ramp. During the
torque controlled start the motors voltage and RPM will follow the graph in fi gure
7.15.

During start ramp, the output voltage to the motor is controlled so that the torque
will follow a predefi ned optimal curve from the initial voltage level to full, voltage
during start. This has the benefi t that the mechanical starting behavior of the
equipment driven by the motor will be much softer compared to the use of voltage
ramp. During the torque controlled start the voltage U and RPM of the motor will

7.5.7 Torque Control during stop ramp
When activating this parameter (On) makes it possible to control the motor torque
during stop. Using torque control will result in a more suitable decelerating of the
speed mainly requested when stopping pumps.
When using torque control the output voltage to the motor is controlled so that
the motor torque will follow a predefi ned optimal curve for best possible stop. This
has the benefi t that the mechanical stopping behavior of the equipment driven by
the motor will be much softer compared to using voltage ramp. This can be especially useful in pump applications where a sudden stop can cause water hammering and pressure surges. During the torque controlled stop the motors voltage
and RPM will follow the graphs in fi gure 7.17.

7.5.8 Kick Start
This parameter makes it possible to tune the kick start voltage level which is applied for a short time duration, before a normal start ramp is performed. Kick Start
provides enough torque during start, but still ensuring a soft start.
It can be set on any of the predefi ned voltage levels. For each voltage level there is
a fi xed time duration relation (t), which is increasing with the different kick voltage
levels. This function can be useful for applications with high initial friction or having
a need of extra power in the fi rst part of the start, as jammed pumps or conveyor
belts. See table 7.2 and graph in fi gure 7.19.

This parameter is used for confi guration of the fi eldbus communication. Con-
necting the PSE Softstarter to the FieldBusPlug automatically enables fi eldbus
communication. To enable control of the softstarter using fi eldbus, this parameter
must be set to On. If FieldBus Control is set to OFF, fi eldbus can only be used for
monitoring softstarter data.
If this parameter is set to On, the softstarter might trip on fi eldbus fault if no fi eld-
bus communication is available. If the intention is to run without fi eldbus control,
this parameter should be set to OFF.
Warning!
The motor may start unexpectedly if there is a start signal present when doing any of the actions listed below.

Chapter 8 Fieldbus communication
8.1 Overview
The PSE Softstarter has an interface on the front for connecting the ABB FieldBusPlug used for fi eldbus communication. Through this interface it is possible to
control the softstarter, retreive status information, as well as upload and download
of parameters.
The interface between the softstarter and the FieldBusPlug is independent of
the fi eldbus protocol used. Independent of softstarter size or delivery date it is
possible to connect any of the available Fieldbus protocols later on, since this is
defi ned in the FieldBusPlug itself. The built-in Modbus RTU communication is sup-
ported (without any need of a fi eldbus plug). However the Modbus RTU adaptor is
needed.
The following Fieldbus protocols are available:
• Internal Modbus RTU

Chapter 9 Maintenance
This chapter describes the maintenance required for the PSE Softstarter. This
product needs very little maintenance, but some components should be checked
regularly.
Warning!
Do not open the softstarter or touch any live parts when the operational
voltage and control supply voltage are connected. Due to the two phase
control, a connected motor terminal always carries live hazardous voltage.
Do not touch terminals when voltage is applied. Output terminals will have
live voltage even when the device is OFF. This can cause death or serious
injury.
9.1 Regular maintenance
• Check that all mounting bolts/screws are fastened. Tighten if necessary.
• Check that all connections of main, control- and supply circuits are fastened.
• Tighten the terminal screws and bolts on the connection bars, if necessary.
• Check that the cooling airways are free from dirt and dust. If required, use
pressurized air to clean.
• Check external fi lters. Clean, if necessary.
• Check that the fan is working and rotating freely The blades shall rotate without any resistance. This can be checked at voltage free state.
• Check the Real Time Clock and adjust if necessary.
• In case of a fault, or if a fault can not be reset, see Chapter 10. Refer to the
timing diagram for the basic functions of the softstarter.
9.2 Service and repair
In case the PSE Softstarter has to be repaired, a spare parts list and necessary
instructions are available at:
www.abb.com/drives
Service and repair should be performed by authorized personnel only. Note that
unauthorized repair may affect the warranty.
Warning
In the event of a short circuit on the load side of a softstarter the device
could be completely destroyed and possibly cause danger to personnel. By
using a correctly rated short circuit protection device, i.e. a fuse or a circuit
breaker, the damage will be limited to one of the following two categories,
defi ned IEC 60947-4-2 and EN 60947-4-2:
Type 1: The softstarter might be damaged and some or all parts might need
to be replaced. The case or enclosure must not be damaged or become live
during the short circuit.
Type 2: The device should be operable after the event of a short circuit.

Chapter 10 Troubleshooting
10.1 General
This chapter is a guide that can be used in case problems should arise with the
PSE Softstarter or the application.
The PSE Softstarter normally indicates a fault with LED Fault status indicator, and
the LCD displays type of fault. When a protection is activated, it will be indicated
with the LED protection status indicator, and the LCD displays what type of
protection is active. More information about LEDs and LCD display is available in
chapters 6.1.2.1 and 6.1.2.2.
Faults not displayed on the PSE Softstarter Human Machine Interface can also be
found in this chapter.
10.2 Overview of indications
