FAQ

Question?

Can this ATS48 soft starter be used for applications requiring frequent starts and stops?

Answer?

The ATS48 is rated for AC53a duty cycle, which is suitable for standard applications. For very high-frequency starting, it is crucial to check the thermal limits and ensure proper ventilation as defined in the user manual to prevent overheating.

Question?

Is an external bypass contactor required for this ATS48C32Q model?

Answer?

No, the Altistart 48 series is designed with an internal bypass contactor that closes once the motor reaches full speed. This improves efficiency and reduces heat dissipation from the thyristors during run time. No external bypass contactor is necessary for standard operation.

Question?

What communication protocols are supported by the Altistart 48?

Answer?

The standard Altistart 48 features a Modbus serial link. Optional communication cards can be added to support other protocols like PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet, or Ethernet/IP, providing integration flexibility with various PLC systems.
