Schneider Electric ATS22C17S6 Altistart 22 Soft Starter

Description

The ATS22C17S6 is an Altistart 22 series soft starter engineered for the controlled acceleration and deceleration of asynchronous motors. Operating within a supply voltage range of 230 - 600 V, this device provides a rated current capacity of 170 A, supporting motor loads between 45 kW and 110 kW. By regulating the voltage applied to the motor terminals during start-up, it mitigates mechanical shock to drivetrains and reduces electrical inrush currents on the supply network. It is designed for integration into standard industrial control cabinets, optimizing energy efficiency while providing integrated electrical fault protection for connected equipment.

Features

• Rated for 170 A continuous operational current
• Supports a wide operating supply voltage range of 230 - 600 V
• Engineered for asynchronous motor capacities from 45 kW to 110 kW
• Reduces mechanical drivetrain stress and electrical network voltage drops during start-up
• Compact physical profile for high-density control panel integration

Applications

• Centrifugal pumps and fluid handling systems
• Industrial fans and ventilation networks
• Conveyors and material handling equipment
• Compressors
• General purpose industrial motor control

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Install the unit vertically to facilitate natural convection cooling across the internal heatsinks.
• Clearance: Maintain adequate spatial clearance above and below the device as specified in the OEM manual to prevent thermal accumulation.
• Wiring: Size all power cables appropriately for 170 A continuous operation and ensure terminals are tightened to the specified torque rating.
• Environment: Ensure the operating environment remains free from conductive dust and corrosive gases, keeping ambient temperatures within the specified operational limits.
• Protection: Integrate appropriate upstream short-circuit protection devices in accordance with local electrical safety standards and load requirements.
