Soft starter ATS22 3-phase 230/440VAC 50/60Hz 220kW 410A IP00 ATS22C41Q

Soft Start System – Optimizing Motor Operation

The Altistart 22 soft starter is a reliable solution for controlling asynchronous motors, designed for both industrial and infrastructure applications. The device effectively limits inrush currents, protecting both the motor and the power supply network from the adverse effects of sudden loads. This translates to extended equipment life and reduced operating costs.

This 3-phase soft starter is designed to work with motors in star/delta and direct-on-line configurations. The integrated bypass allows operation in full current flow mode after the start-up is completed, minimizing energy losses and heat generated by the semiconductor elements. This makes the ATS22 ideal for applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors.

Design Features and Functionality

The ATS22C41Q is characterized by a solid construction and compact dimensions (206 x 299 x 425 mm), making it easy to mount in various types of machine enclosures. The IP20 degree of protection provides adequate protection against dust and moisture in an industrial environment. The built-in motor overload protection and adjustable torque increase safety and operational flexibility. In addition, the device has three digital inputs and two relay outputs, allowing integration with control systems. RS485 communication enables remote monitoring and configuration of the device.

Using this soft start system brings a number of benefits:

• Reduction of inrush currents: Limiting shock currents during motor start-up minimizes the load on the power supply network and prevents voltage drops.
• Extended motor life: Smooth start-up reduces mechanical stress on the motor and gearboxes, which translates to a longer life of these components.
• Overload protection: Built-in protection protects the motor from damage in case of overload or short circuit.
• Configurability: Adjustment of start-up parameters allows you to adapt the device's operation to specific application requirements.
• Easy integration: The RS485 communication interface enables remote control and monitoring of the device.
• Versatility: Ability to power from 230/440V AC (50/60Hz) network and compatibility with various types of asynchronous motors (power up to 220kW at 400V).

The ATS22C41Q is an ideal solution for installers looking for a reliable and easy-to-install device for soft starting motors, as well as for end-users who want to ensure optimal operation of their machines and equipment and reduce operating costs.
