Schneider Altistart 22 ATS22C59S6 Soft Starter

Description

The ATS22C59S6 is an Altistart 22 soft starter designed for the smooth starting and stopping of high-power three-phase asynchronous motors. This unit is rated for a continuous operational current of 590 A and is compatible with supply voltages ranging from 230 V to 600 V. It provides power control for motors between 160 kW and 400 kW, utilizing internal torque management to minimize mechanical stress on drive components and mitigate voltage drops during startup. The ATS22C59S6 includes an integrated bypass contactor, which helps reduce energy losses and heat dissipation during steady-state operation.

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount the soft starter in a vertical position on a robust, fire-resistant surface capable of supporting the unit's weight.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow through the heat sink area. Adhere to specified clearances above and below the device to prevent thermal derating.
• Wiring: Use power cabling sized for a 590 A current rating. Ensure all high-power terminal connections are properly torqued to prevent resistive heating and electrical faults.
• Grounding: A reliable connection to the system protective earth (PE) is required to ensure electromagnetic compatibility and personnel safety.
• Environment: Install in a clean, climate-controlled cabinet, as accumulation of dust or exposure to moisture can compromise performance and lifespan.
