About Altivar Soft Starter ATS48
The Altivar Soft Starter ATS48 unit is a controller with 6 thyristors used for torque-controlled soft starting and stopping of three-phase squirrel cage asynchronous motors, for power ratings between 4 and 900 kW.It offers soft starting and deceleration functions along with machine and motor protection functions, as well as functions for communicating with control systems.
Special uses
Criterias that can influence selection of the ATS48 rating:• Starter wired to the motor delta terminals• Starter bypassed by a contactor• Motors in parallel• Slip-ring motors• Dahlander motor and 2-speed motor• Very long cable• Starters in parallel on the same line supply
Energy Savings with Motor Management Solution
Motors are critical assets, and also big consumers of electrical energy use on average 60% of the electrical energy in industrial businesses. A robust, tested, and validated architectural approach to your motor management unleashes more safety and performance for your motors, enabling advanced asset management and energy efficiency.
With an extensive offer portfolio, competencies and know-how, Schneider Electric can help you build a sustainable motor integration solution across the electrical system and the industrial processes.
