Features

The range of Enclosed Altistart™ 48 soft starts packages the advanced functionality of the Altistart 48 soft start in Type 1, Type 12 or Type 3R enclosures to provide industry-leading performance in a packaged solution. Available as a pre-engineered and “build-to-order” product, Enclosed Altistart 48 soft starts can be configured based upon exact specifications to optimize the unit for specific application requirements up to 600HP.Combination devices are available with either a circuit breaker or fusible disconnect, the Enclosed Altistart 48 features coordinated short circuit current ratings up to 100kA (fused) and 30kA (circuit breaker) and is rated as seismic qualified (floor mount configurations) to International Code Counsel Evaluation Service (ICC ES) Acceptance Criteria for Seismic Qualification Testing of Nonstructural Components (AC156).

The most fully integrated enclosed soft start on the market

As the most fully integrated enclosed soft start on the market, the Enclosed Altistart 48 features genuine Schneider Electric components, including circuit breakers, operating mechanisms, control relays, contactors, and terminal blocks, to ensure easy device configuration and reliable soft start operation for your application.

In addition to the Altistart 48 soft start, Enclosed Altistart 48 units are supplied ready-fitted with overcurrent protection device, shorting (bypass), and isolation means, so no additional components are required. Installation becomes quick and easy as all that is required for operation is unit mounting and connection to the supply and motor.

Power range: 4kW to 900kW (some sources also mention an upper limit of up to 1200kW)

Voltage: 230V to 415V/208V to 690V, 50/60 Hz

Current range: 17A to 1200A

2. Main characteristics

-Torque Control System (TCS): The ATS48 adopts Schneider's patented TCS technology, which effectively reduces mechanical and electrical stress and protects the motor and equipment by precisely controlling the start and stop processes of the motor.

-Thermal and mechanical protection: Provides thermal protection for the motor, as well as adjustable threshold and time underload and overload protection, rotor stalling protection, and steering monitoring to ensure safe operation of the motor.

-Easy to set up and debug: The factory settings meet the immediate start-up needs, and users can simplify the setup process through integrated display or SoMove software. At the same time, it provides multiple configurations (2 sets of motor parameters) and many configurable inputs/outputs to meet different control requirements.

-Efficient Communication and Integration: Integrating multiple communication protocols such as Modbus, FIPIO, Profibus DP, DeviceNet, Ethernet, etc., to facilitate integration with control systems.

-Energy saving and environmental protection: By using soft start and soft stop functions, the impact of starting current is reduced, the burden and heat loss of the electrical distribution system are reduced, which helps to save energy and reduce emissions.

3. Closed design

The enclosed design is an important feature of the ATS48 soft starter, which can effectively prevent external factors such as dust and moisture from corroding the internal circuit of the equipment, and improve the durability and reliability of the equipment. Meanwhile, the enclosed design also helps to reduce noise and vibration during equipment operation, enhancing the overall user experience.

4. Scope of application

The ATS48 soft starter is widely used in the construction, food and beverage, chemical industries, as well as in the starting and protection of pumps, fans, high inertia machinery, compressors, conveyors, and other equipment. Especially in heavy-duty and continuous operation applications such as bulk cargo terminals, ATS48 has been widely recognized and applied for its excellent performance and reliability.

5. Conclusion

In summary, the Schneider soft starter ATS48 enclosed type is a powerful, high-performance, easy to set up and debug motor starting and protection device. It can not only meet the needs of various heavy-duty and complex application scenarios, but also achieve seamless integration with control systems through its efficient communication and integration capabilities. Therefore, the ATS48 enclosed soft starter is one of the indispensable and important equipment in the field of industrial automation.
