The Schneider ATS22C21Q is engineered to handle high-load motor starting operations with precision and safety. It supports motors rated at 55 kW at 230 V and up to 110 kW at 400 V and 440 V, ideal for pump and fan applications requiring smooth acceleration and torque control. The device operates on a 3-phase network with a supply voltage range of 230–440 V and frequency range of 50–60 Hz, providing flexibility across industrial environments.
Equipped with dual relay outputs (R1 and R2) for monitoring statuses such as running, alarm, trip, and starting, the ATS22C21Q enables real-time process control and alerts. Communication is managed via RS485 multidrop using an RJ45 interface, supporting integration with modern SCADA and PLC systems. It dissipates 117 W under standard load conditions and consumes just 20 W in steady-state control. Designed for vertical mounting, the unit measures 206 mm wide, 425 mm high, and 299 mm deep, with a total weight of 33 kg, making it compact yet robust.
Compliant with IEC 60068-2-27 shock standards and pollution degree 2 (IEC 60664-1), the Schneider ATS22C21Q can operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 60 °C with derating. With IP00 protection and AC-53A category support, this soft starter is trusted in control panels for HVAC systems, water infrastructure, and process automation.
For advanced speed control, the Schneider Altivar 610 15kW Variable Speed Drive ATV610D15N4 offers energy-efficient motor management across variable load operations. It's widely used in pumping stations, ventilation systems, and process equipment where dynamic torque and speed adjustments are needed.
With smart diagnostics, EMC filtering, and Schneider EcoStruxure compatibility, the ATV610D15N4 ensures faster commissioning, preventive maintenance, and high reliability. It’s a preferred solution for applications requiring reduced downtime and long-term operational consistency.
