The Schneider Electric Altistart 22 Soft Starter, model ATS22D62Q, is a digital soft starter designed for three‑phase asynchronous motors to provide controlled, smooth starting and stopping. It reduces mechanical stress on both the motor and the driven equipment by limiting the inrush current and gradually ramping up motor torque. The unit includes an integrated bypass contactor to improve efficiency once the motor reaches running speed, and offers built‑in protection functions such as thermal and overload protection. Typical applications include pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and general industrial machinery. It is compact, easy to install, and suitable for standard industrial environments.
