Specifications
Parameter Category Details
Manufacturer & Series Schneider Electric, Altistart 480
Complete Model Number ATS480D17Y
Product Type Energy-Efficient Soft Starter
Rated Operational Current (Ie) 17 A
Motor Power Range (at 400V AC) Approx. 7.5 kW (10 HP) - Refer to precise selection tables for exact matching across voltages.
Supply Voltage 3-phase, 208 - 575 V AC, 50/60 Hz
Control Voltage 110-120V AC, 50/60 Hz (as indicated by code Y). Other voltages available (e.g., 220-240V AC).
Starting Method Voltage ramping with torque control. Provides adjustable:
• Initial Torque
• Start-up Time (Ramp Time)
• Stop Mode (Freewheel, Soft stop, Braking with DC injection)
Built-in Bypass Yes. Internal bypass contactor minimizes heat dissipation during run mode.
Protection Features • Advanced Motor Thermal Protection (with PTC thermistor input)
• Phase Loss / Imbalance
• Underload / Jam
• Restart Inhibit / Excessive Starts
• Internal Temperature Monitoring
Standard I/O • 3x Logic Inputs (24V DC, for Start, Stop, etc.)
• 1x Relay Output (Fault/Ready/Running)
• 1x Analog Output (0/4-20 mA) for motor current monitoring.
Communication Integrated RS-485 serial port with Modbus protocol. Optional communication cards (e.g., PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet, Ethernet) are available.
Enclosure IP20 (finger-safe), designed for panel mounting inside a cabinet. Features a compact, shallow depth design.
Keypad / Display Integrated 4-digit LED display and navigation keys for local parameter setting, operation, and diagnostics.
Cooling / Mounting Natural convection cooling (fanless) with an optimized heatsink, allowing for vertical mounting without derating and high-density installation.
Ambient Temperature 0°C to +55°C (with derating above 50°C).
Storage Temperature -25°C to +70°C
Standards & Certifications CE, cULus, RoHS, IEC/EN 60947-4-2, UL 508.
Configuration Software SoMove (Free software for configuration and monitoring).
Typical Applications Pumps, fans, compressors, conveyor belts, mixers, and other applications where smooth starting, energy efficiency, and compact size are important.
