ATS48C59Y

The ATS48C59Y, part of the Schneider Electric ALTISTART series, functions as a soft starter for alternating current motors. It is engineered to accommodate a voltage range of 208 to 690 volts with an allowable variance of -15% to +10%. This device operates effectively at input frequencies ranging from 50 to 60 Hz, maintaining performance within a ±5% margin. The soft starter is appropriate for motors with power ratings extending from 132 kW to 560 kW, depending on the specific voltage and load it handles.

In terms of horsepower, the ATS48C59Y supports a maximum range of 150 to 500 HP, which is contingent upon the voltage configuration and the load's operational duty. The connection method requires wiring within the motor supply circuit for integration. Protective features are built into the unit, including phase loss detection and thermal protection mechanisms safeguarding both the motor and the starter itself.

For inputs, the starter includes five digital connections, suitable for PTC and logic signals. Output options consist of two logic outputs and three relay outputs, indicating fault status, start completion, and when the motor is running. Additionally, an analog output can deliver 0–20 mA or 4–20 mA signals with a maximum impedance of 500Ω.

Regarding installation, the ATS48C59Y is designed for vertical mounting with a tolerance of ±10 degrees. Its dimensions measure 670 mm in height, 400 mm in width, and 300 mm in depth, equating to approximately 26.4 in by 15.7 in by 11.8 in. The unit has a substantial weight of 51.4 kg, or about 113.3 lbs. The operational environment for the ATS48C59Y ranges from -10 to 60 degrees Celsius, with a derating applied for temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the unit is rated for use up to 2000 meters, though derating is necessary beyond 1000 meters.
