The Schneider ATS480C17Y belongs to the trusted Altistart 480 family and delivers motor power support up to 160.0 kW in normal duty and 110.0 kW in heavy duty at 690 V. With a rated operational current of 170.0 A, it’s suited for heavy loads including crushers, conveyors, and compressors. Featuring integrated torque control, it minimizes electrical and mechanical stress during motor startup while protecting downstream equipment.
Engineered for automation systems, it includes a 24 V DC control circuit, 3 relay outputs, 2 programmable digital outputs (≤30 V), and 1 analog output for monitoring or feedback. Communication is enabled via Slave Modbus serial protocol over an RJ45 connection. The unit supports a maximum relay switching current of 2 A at 250 V AC / 30 V DC and operates safely within an insulation voltage of 690 V.
The ATS480C17Y is housed in a 200 mm wide frame with IP00 protection and a net weight of 12.4 kg. It functions reliably in environments up to 60°C with 95% non-condensing humidity. The Schneider Altistart 480 Soft Starter 170A ATS480C17Y is an industrial workhorse used in steel plants, paper mills, water pumping stations, and material handling systems. It enables precise torque ramp-up, avoids voltage sags, and helps maintain machine uptime during frequent start-stop cycles.
Engineers and OEMs prefer this model for large panel builds requiring rugged starter systems with full PLC connectivity. Its wide motor compatibility—from 208V to 690V—makes it ideal for both export and domestic installations. Modbus communication, programmable logic, and delta terminal options offer full flexibility in custom automation setups.
