ABB PSTX170-600-70, order code 1SFA898111R7000, is an advanced three-phase motor softstarter with integrated control, protection, monitoring and bypass functions.
- Product family: PSTX advanced-range softstarter
- Rated operational current, in-line: 171 A
- Adjustable motor-current range: 51.3 to 171 A
- Rated operational voltage for this 600 V variant: 208 to 600 V AC, +10%/-15%, 50/60 Hz +/-10%
It controls motor acceleration and deceleration with voltage or torque ramps and current limiting, then closes its built-in bypass contactor at full speed to reduce heat and power loss. The unit evaluates motor current, line voltage, power, energy and optional PTC or PT-100 temperature signals; it accepts start, stop and programmable digital commands and provides programmable relays, an analog output and built-in Modbus RTU communication. It is applied to correctly sized pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and other industrial motor loads, with optional Anybus or ABB fieldbus interfaces and application-specific protection settings selected from the current ABB documentation.
Important Notice: Publish only when both PSTX170-600-70 and 1SFA898111R7000 are confirmed on the ABB order record or physical nameplate.

Important Notice: The first link is the product-parameters PDF prepared only from the cited manufacturer information; the second link is the Apter Power product manual. Confirm the physical nameplate, current manufacturer documents, and host-system requirements before installation or replacement.
Pump systems
Torque control soft-starts and soft-stops pumps, underload protection can detect dry running, and the documented pump-cleaning function can reverse flow to clear pipes.
Fans and high-inertia loads
Controlled voltage/current during start reduces inrush, while dynamic and standstill braking functions support appropriately engineered fan applications.
Conveyors and material handling
Adjustable acceleration, current limiting and slow-speed jog in both directions support commissioning and controlled movement of compatible conveyor loads.
Compressors and general industrial motors
Soft starting and built-in protection reduce electrical and mechanical starting stress when the PSTX is selected to the motor current, duty and start frequency.
Read and follow the current ABB documentation and host-equipment instructions before work. Verify the complete physical nameplate and system configuration.
1
Installation, commissioning and service must follow the current ABB PSTX manual and be carried out by personnel qualified for the connected power system.
2
Verify the exact 600 V order code, motor nameplate current, system voltage, in-line or inside-delta wiring, duty class, starts per hour and load inertia before selection.
3
For heavy-duty or complex starts, high starting-current limits, long acceleration times or more frequent starts, use ABB's selection method or proSoft rather than copying a catalog power value.
4
Derate rated current by 0.8% per deg C above 40 deg C up to 60 deg C, and apply ABB's altitude derating above 1000 m up to 4000 m.
5
For the PSTX142...170 frame, ABB lists a 508 x 508 x 305 mm minimum IEC enclosure size; maintain the required clearances and cooling airflow.
