About Altivar Soft Starter ATS22

The Altivar Soft Starter ATS22 units have been designed to meet the performance requirements of applications where ruggedness, security of personnel and equipment, and ease of setup are a priority.

The Altistart 22 soft start/soft stop units support the controlled starting and stopping, via voltage and torque, of three-phase squirrel cage asynchronous motors for power ratings ranging from 4 to 400 kW. They are supplied ready for use in standard applications with class 10 motor protection.

All-in-one device

Designed for most infrastructure and industrial applications.

Integrated protection functions

Altivar Soft Starter ATS22 includes numerous protection functions for the motor and machine.

Easy to Use

Multiple functions to facilitate integration into control systems.

Cost-effective solution

Reduce the stress associated with electrical distribution while saving up on installation and machine operation.

Specifications

      • Save time on wiring (6 terminals instead of 12)

      • Optimizes the size of your enclosures (very compact product)

      • Minimizes the temperature rises (low heat dissipation)

     • Reduces the number of components to manage (multifunction product)

      • Protects your installations

Minimizes jolts and shocks

      • Reduces mechanical stress on the machines

      • Increases the service life of your installations

      • Prevents installation failure by detecting and signaling faults such as a blocked motor, underload, or incorrect earthing of one of the 3 phases

      • A safe product with numerous integrated functions

Bypass and safety functions

      • Protection devices for monitoring the motor, the electrical installation, and the starter itself

      • Simple setup and operation with:

            • 4 light emitting diodes (LEDs)

            • 4 navigation keys

            • 4-digit display

Functions

Economical solution

      • Integrated bypass

     • Optimized size and reduced wiring

      • Torque control during the acceleration and deceleration phases

Complete protection of the motor and the starter

      • Reduction of mechanical stresses (to- surges, water hammer on the pumps, etc.)

      • Detection of motor faults (thermal, short-circuit, earth fault, phase imbalance, etc.)

      • Limitation of current peaks

Easy operation

      • All in One” solution and “Zero” setting for a standard application

     • Protection functions integrated as standard

      • LED display & Simple navigation using 4 keys

Scope

The integrated functions of Altivar Soft Starter ATS22 units are compatible with the more common types of application found in the construction, infrastructure, or industrial sectors:

      • Centrifugal pumps, piston pumps

      • Fans

      • Screw compressors

      • Material handling (conveyors, etc.)

      • Turbine

      • Refrigeration compressor

      • Screw compressor

      • Conveyor belt

      • Conveyor

      • Specialist machinery (agitators, mixers, centrifuges)

They can be used for applications outside the standard characteristics, but this may involve derating by at least one power rating. Examples of applications outside the standard characteristics:

      • Greater number of starts

      • Motor thermal protection higher than class 10

      • Excess current required on starting

     • Non-standard ambient temperatures or altitudes

Applications

      • Water and Waste Water

      • Food & Beverage

      • Mining Minerals and Metals

      • Energies and Chemicals
