About Altivar Soft Starter ATS48

The Altivar Soft Starter ATS48 unit is a controller with 6 thyristors used for torque-controlled soft starting and stopping of three-phase squirrel cage asynchronous motors, for power ratings between 4 and 900 kW.

It offers soft starting and deceleration functions along with machine and motor protection functions, as well as functions for communicating with control systems.

Cost-effective solution

Reduce mechanical stress and improve machine availability.

Easy integration

Designed to be integrated into enclosures and control systems.

High performance

Torque Control System (TCS) to control starting and deceleration.

Integrated protection functions

Built in thermal protection for the motor, as well as protection against underloads and overcurrents in a steady state.
