The Schneider Electric Altistart 48 series soft starter, model ATS48M10Q, is engineered for the controlled starting and stopping of three-phase asynchronous motors. This unit utilizes six thyristors to manage motor torque, effectively reducing high inrush currents and mechanical shock during motor acceleration and deceleration phases. It is commonly integrated into industrial machinery requiring smooth motor power management.

Technical details

• Series: Altistart 48
• Model: ATS48M10Q
• Motor Power Rating: Up to 500 kW (Note: Specific voltage and current ratings should be verified against the manufacturer's datasheet for precise application compatibility.)
• Control Method: Torque-controlled soft start and stop
• Thyristor Configuration: Six thyristors for three-phase motor control
• Inrush Current Reduction: Designed to significantly lower starting current compared to direct-on-line starts
• Mechanical Stress Reduction: Provides a gentler ramp-up and ramp-down for motor and connected equipment
• Protection Features: Integrated motor protection functions (specifics to be confirmed via datasheet)
• Mounting Type: Typically designed for panel mounting (verify dimensions and mounting requirements via datasheet)

Applications & compatibility

This soft starter is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where smooth motor control is critical. Applications include conveyor systems, pumps, fans, compressors, and other machinery that benefits from reduced mechanical stress and controlled power application during startup and shutdown sequences. It is designed to work with standard three-phase asynchronous motors.
