The Schneider ATS22C48Q soft starter is designed to manage high-power asynchronous motors rated at 132 kW at 230 V and 250 kW at 400 V and 440 V. It provides smooth acceleration and deceleration while minimizing mechanical stress, voltage dips, and inrush current. This unit includes dual relay outputs (R1 & R2) for real-time operational status signals like running, trip, alarm, and start readiness. Communication is supported via RS485 serial interface with a standard RJ45 connector for easy integration with PLC and SCADA systems.
Engineered for industrial-grade performance, the ATS22C48Q features IP00 protection, shock resistance of 15 g (as per IEC 60068-2-27), and complies with pollution degree 2 classification under IEC 60664-1. With a wide voltage tolerance from 195 to 484 V and frequency support of 45–66 Hz, it ensures robust and adaptable operation in global power systems. This soft starter dissipates 218 W during standard operation and consumes just 20 W in steady-state control. With dimensions of 304 mm width, 455 mm height, and 339.7 mm depth, and a weight of 50 kg, it is best suited for large industrial control cabinets.
For applications requiring dynamic speed variation in addition to soft starting, the Schneider Altivar 610 15kW Variable Speed Drive ATV610D15N4 offers advanced motor control for fans, pumps, and compressors. It allows precise torque and speed adjustments while improving energy efficiency and extending equipment life.
The ATV610D15N4 features integrated EMC filtering, built-in protection functions, and compatibility with Schneider’s EcoStruxure platform for real-time monitoring and remote diagnostics. It is widely used in process plants, HVAC systems, and municipal utilities where control and reliability are critical.
Together, the Schneider ATS22C48Q and the Altivar 610 ATV610D15N4 provide a comprehensive and scalable VFD solution for industrial motor control. Whether your need is soft starting large motors or achieving precise variable speed control, trust the performance of the ATS22C48Q.
