About Altivar Soft Starter ATS480
Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 is the new range of soft starters from Schneider Electric designed to digitize the entire life cycle.Powered digitally by EcoStruxure, ATS480 increases efficiency from selection to maintenance.Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 had been designed to:• Respect cybersecurity requirements and usages according to the IEC 62443 standard• Meet the requirements of the most stringent applications in normal and heavy duty• Cover the operational voltage range from 208 to 690 V in a single product range up to 1200 A
Integrated functions
The Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 includes numerous functions related to monitoring, the application, and start/stop performance, including:• TCS, the original torque control system: constant control of the torque supplied to the motor during acceleration and deceleration phases (significantly reducing pressure surges)• Dynamic braking• Bypassing the soft starter using a contactor at the end of the starting phase whilst maintaining electronic monitoring (bypass function)• Wide frequency tolerance for generator set power supplies• Connecting the soft starter inside the motor delta
Energy Savings with motor management solution
