Excellent PLC
Product Introduction
The Schneider ATS480D88Y Soft Starter is a high-performance motor control device from the Altivar ATS480 series, designed to provide smooth starting and stopping of three-phase asynchronous motors in industrial applications. By controlling motor acceleration and deceleration, the ATS480D88Y helps reduce electrical stress, mechanical shock, and equipment wear, improving system reliability and extending the lifespan of connected machinery.
Designed for both normal-duty and heavy-duty operating conditions, the ATS480D88Y supports supply voltages ranging from 208V to 690V AC. With a rated operational current of 88A, the unit can control motors from approximately 22kW to 75kW depending on the system voltage and application requirements. This makes it suitable for a wide variety of industrial processes requiring reliable motor control.
The soft starter incorporates Schneider Electric’s advanced Torque Control System (TCS), which delivers precise control of motor acceleration and deceleration. This technology significantly reduces mechanical stress on pumps, conveyors, compressors, fans, mixers, and other motor-driven equipment. The result is improved process performance, lower maintenance costs, and enhanced equipment protection.
For applications involving high-inertia loads, the ATS480D88Y features both dynamic braking and DC injection braking technologies. These functions provide controlled stopping performance, helping improve operational safety and process efficiency.
The ATS480D88Y can be installed using either in-line or inside-delta configurations, allowing engineers to optimize installation costs and system design. Built with modern industrial requirements in mind, the ATS480 platform also supports digitalization initiatives, enhanced connectivity, and cybersecurity-focused architecture, helping facilities improve operational visibility and system availability.
Suitable for industrial machinery, process automation, utilities, infrastructure, mining, and energy applications, the ATS480D88Y offers a combination of advanced motor control, flexibility, and reliability for demanding environments.
