It handles 208 to 690 V AC at 50/60 Hz, so it covers both 400 V and 480 V installations without a rewire. Built-in electronic overload protection means you don't need a separate overload relay downstream. The ramp time is adjustable from 1 to 120 seconds, which gives you enough range to handle high-inertia loads like centrifuges or long conveyors without tripping the upstream breaker. Control supply can be either 100-250 V AC or 24 V DC, so it fits both conventional panel wiring and PLC-driven control schemes. The main circuit terminals are bars, torqued to 25 N·m — that's a solid connection for a 250 A frame. ## Fieldbus and IO — what talks to the PLC This unit speaks Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, CANopen, Profibus, Profinet, BACnet IP, and BACnet MSTP. That covers nearly every automation network you'll find in a plant — no gateway needed for most lines. Analog outputs are configurable for 0-10 V, 0-20 mA, or 4-20 mA, so you can feed motor current or runtime to a remote SCADA. Six relay outputs are on board: run, fault, bypass, and overload signal relays. That gives you discrete status back to the PLC without adding IO modules. LED indicators on the front — green for run, red for fault, yellow for protection — let you read the state from across the panel. ## Protection suite — what it catches before you do The PSTX250 monitors for current imbalance, underload, locked rotor, phase loss, over/under voltage, ground fault, and power factor underload. It also accepts PTC and PT-100 inputs for direct motor thermal protection. If a fan fails, it flags that too. The warning list is extensive — electronic overload time-to-trip, THD(U), thyristor overload, and short circuit in limp mode are all tracked. Dual overload protection is available — separate thresholds for start and run. That's useful for applications where the start current is high but the running current is low, like a loaded crusher or a pump starting against a closed valve. ## Lifecycle and compliance — still a current part The main terminals are IP00 — that's the bare bus bars, so the panel enclosure provides the ingress protection.","metaTitle":"ABB PSTX250 Soft Starter 1SFA898213R7000, 208-690V","metaDescription":"ABB PSTX250 soft starter with auto phase sequence detection, 208-690 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
