The PSE softstarter range is the world's first compact softstarters with torque control. This makes the PSE range an excellent choice for pumping applications 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. The most important function when stopping pumps is torque control. Since the PSE softstarter is optimized for controlling pumps, this feature is a must. Using 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. 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. 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. 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. The set-up of the PSE softstarter is done 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. 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.
