Excellent PLC
Product Introduction
The Schneider ATS480C11Y Soft Starter is a high-performance motor control solution from the Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 series, specifically engineered for the controlled starting and stopping of three-phase asynchronous motors. Designed for demanding industrial applications, the ATS480 combines advanced motor protection, intelligent control algorithms, and modern connectivity features to improve operational efficiency while reducing mechanical and electrical stress on equipment.
Supporting supply voltages from 208V to 690V, the ATS480C11Y is suitable for both standard-duty and heavy-duty applications. With a rated operational current of 110A, it can control motors ranging from approximately 30kW to 90kW depending on the operating voltage and application requirements.
One of the major advantages of the ATS480 platform is its advanced Torque Control System (TCS), which ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration while minimizing mechanical shock to motors, pumps, conveyors, fans, and other driven equipment. This technology helps extend equipment life, reduce maintenance costs, and improve process stability.
The ATS480C11Y also features dynamic braking and DC injection braking functions, providing effective stopping performance for high-inertia loads. In addition, the soft starter supports both in-line and inside-delta installation methods, offering greater flexibility while potentially reducing current requirements and installation costs.
Designed with Industry 4.0 requirements in mind, the ATS480 incorporates digital connectivity, enhanced diagnostics, cybersecurity-oriented architecture, and intelligent commissioning tools. The built-in testing routine simplifies setup, particularly for inside-delta installations, helping reduce commissioning time and improve overall system reliability.
The ATS480C11Y is widely used in industrial machinery, water treatment facilities, mining operations, power infrastructure, HVAC systems, material handling equipment, and other applications requiring reliable motor starting and stopping performance.
