Schneider Electric ATS48D62Y Altistart 48 Soft Starter

Description

The ATS48D62Y is an Altistart 48 series soft starter engineered for the controlled starting and stopping of three-phase asynchronous motors. Designed to handle a rated current of 52 A and supply voltages ranging from 208 V to 690 V, this device supports motors with power ratings between 11 kW and 45 kW. By managing the torque profile during motor acceleration and deceleration, the ATS48D62Y reduces mechanical stress on connected equipment and minimizes electrical peak loads during start-up. This unit is a critical component for industrial systems requiring enhanced motor protection and improved operational longevity.

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Install the soft starter in a vertical orientation to facilitate proper cooling airflow through the internal heatsinks.
• Clearance: Maintain minimum required spacing above and below the unit as defined by the installation manual to ensure effective heat dissipation.
• Environment: Ensure the ambient temperature and humidity levels remain within the limits specified for the Altistart 48 range to prevent thermal derating.
• Wiring: Use appropriately rated power cabling for the motor and supply connections; ensure all terminals are tightened to the specified torque.
• Protection: Integrate external motor overload protection and short-circuit protection devices as required by local electrical codes and the specific application design.
