Schneider Electric 3 Phase Panel Mount Soft Starter 690V AC 160kW ATS48

Schneider Electric ATS48 3 Phase Soft Starter 160kW is a panel mount controller designed to start and stop three-phase squirrel cage asynchronous motors with controlled torque and minimal mechanical stress. It operates at a maximum supply voltage of 690V AC and is suitable for industrial automation applications requiring enhanced motor protection and performance.

The Altistart 48 series soft starters include six thyristors that allow gradual motor ramp-up and ramp-down, reducing electrical and mechanical stress during operation. This results in less wear and tear, lowering maintenance needs and increasing machine availability.

The device features integrated motor thermal protection using PTC thermal probes, start time monitoring, and motor preheating to ensure safe operation. It also offers protection against underloads and overcurrents during continuous use, helping to safeguard the motor and connected equipment.

The unit's IP00 protection rating is designed for panel mounting inside industrial control cabinets. Its compact dimensions - 200mm length, 340mm width, and 265mm depth - enable side-by-side installation to save space.

This soft starter complies with international standards including EN/IEC 60947-4-2, CE, UL, CSA, and others, ensuring reliable and certified operation in diverse industrial environments.

Its drive performance functions provide constant torque control during acceleration and deceleration phases, which reduces pressure surges and improves process stability. The soft starter can be easily integrated into control and communication systems to facilitate monitoring and management.

Factory settings are optimized for most common applications, simplifying commissioning and reducing setup time. Applications include industrial machines, manufacturing plants, water treatment facilities, HVAC systems, and other commercial installations requiring effective motor starting and stopping solutions.
