The ATS22D17Q from Schneider Electric’s Altistart 22 series is a soft starter built for asynchronous motors in the 4 to 7.5 kW range. It supports voltages from 230 V to 440 V and is optimized for low-to-medium duty operations such as pump and fan control. The dual relay outputs (R1 and R2) report real-time motor states including running, alarm, trip, and start-ready conditions, making it easy to integrate into automation systems.
It includes a RS485 communication interface for multidrop configurations, and provides a current adjustment range of 0.4 to 1 Icl. Built to handle a wide range of operating conditions, it works efficiently at -10 to 60°C with derating beyond 40°C. The unit has an IP20 rating, shock resistance of 15 g, and meets IEC 60664-1 Level 2 pollution standards, ensuring robust protection in industrial settings.
The Schneider ATS22D17Q soft starter features a compact design with a width of 130 mm, depth of 169 mm, and height of 265 mm. Weighing only 7 kg, it fits conveniently in control panels. Ideal for AC-53A utilization, the product is suitable for both direct motor line and delta terminal connections. With minimal power consumption (20 W control circuit) and a noise level of just 45 dB, the ATS22D17Q delivers energy-efficient and quiet motor starts for light industrial systems.
