The Schneider Electric Telemecanique ATS-23PD-70N is a sophisticated soft starter engineered for the controlled acceleration and deceleration of three-phase induction motors. This unit is designed to mitigate the high inrush currents associated with direct-on-line motor starts, thereby reducing mechanical stress on connected equipment and preventing significant voltage dips on the power supply. Its application is critical in environments where smooth motor operation is paramount for machinery longevity and system stability.

Technical details

• Series: Telemecanique ATS-23PD
• Motor Power Rating: 70 kW (at 400V)
• Nominal Voltage: Designed for operation on 380-415V, 3-phase power systems.
• Control Voltage: Typically 24V AC/DC (verify with manufacturer datasheet for specific control input requirements).
• Starting Current Reduction: Capable of reducing starting current to a programmable level, typically 3-6 times the nominal motor current.
• Adjustable Ramp Time: Allows for precise control over acceleration and deceleration periods, adjustable from 1 to 20 seconds.
• Integrated Bypass Contactor: Features an internal bypass contactor that engages once the motor reaches full speed, minimizing heat generation and energy loss during continuous operation.
• Protection Features: Includes motor overload protection, phase loss detection, and short-circuit protection for enhanced safety and reliability.

Applications & compatibility

This soft starter is ideal for applications requiring gradual motor ramp-up and ramp-down, such as conveyor systems, pumps, fans, compressors, and processing machinery in industries like food and beverage, material handling, and water treatment. It is compatible with standard three-phase induction motors and can be integrated into existing control panels and automation systems.
