ATS01N112FT

What type of motor control component is this?

This is an Altistart 01 soft starter for asynchronous motors. It is designed to reduce mechanical stress during motor start-up by applying a controlled voltage ramp instead of switching the motor directly across the line.

What supply voltage range does this soft starter accept?

The rated supply voltage range is 110 to 480 V AC, with supply voltage limits of 99 to 528 V. It is suitable for 50/60 Hz applications, with a network frequency range of 47.5 to 63 Hz.

What is the current rating of this unit?

The ATS01N112FT has an IcL starter rating of 12 A. It is listed for AC-53B utilisation category according to EN/IEC 60947-4-2.

What motor sizes can it be used with?

Typical motor ratings include 1.5 kW at 230 V single phase, 2.2 kW at 230 V three phase, and 5.5 kW at 400 V three phase. Horsepower ratings include 3 hp at 230 V three phase and 7.5 hp at 460 V three phase.

Does this soft starter include an integrated bypass?

Yes. This model includes an integrated bypass, which helps reduce heat generation once the motor has completed its start-up phase.

What type of starting method does it use?

It uses voltage ramp starting. The starting time is adjustable from 1 to 5 seconds, and the starting torque can be adjusted from 30% to 80% of the motor’s direct-on-line starting torque.

What are the physical dimensions of the unit?

The unit measures approximately 45 mm wide, 124 mm high, and 131 mm deep. Its net weight is approximately 0.28 kg.

How should the unit be mounted?

It is intended to be mounted vertically, with an allowable mounting angle of plus or minus 10 degrees. The unit can be mounted on a 35 mm symmetrical rail or fixed by screws using its mounting points.

What are common applications for this type of soft starter?

It is suited to simple machine applications where reduced starting shock is beneficial, such as conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors, automatic doors, gates, overhead travelling cranes for horizontal loads, and belt-driven machinery.

What ambient temperature range is specified for operation?

The operating temperature range is -10 to 40 °C without derating. It can operate from 40 to 50 °C with current derating of 2% per °C.

What ingress protection rating does it have?

The enclosure rating is IP20. This means it is intended for installation within a suitable electrical panel or enclosure for the application environment.

What control circuit voltages are available?

The control circuit can use 24 V AC/DC at 30 mA, 110 V AC at 35 mA, or 240 V AC at 80 mA, each with a tolerance of plus or minus 10%.

What connection sizes are accepted for the power circuit?

For the power circuit, the screw clamp terminals accept rigid conductors up to 1 to 10 mm² for a single conductor, or 1 to 6 mm² for two conductors. Flexible conductor sizes depend on whether cable ends are used.

What standards and certifications are associated with this soft starter?

The unit conforms to EN/IEC 60947-4-2 and carries certifications including UL, CSA, C-Tick, CCC, GOST, and CE marking.

Is a line contactor required in a three-phase power connection?

For the example three-phase power supply connection shown for this device, a line contactor is specified as part of the sequence, along with a motor circuit-breaker, control protection fuses, and pushbuttons.
