ATS01N212QN, ATS01 Series Soft Starter, 5,5 kW, 12 A, 380 to 415V AC

Schneider Electric ATS01 Soft Starter Series – Overview

Schneider Electric ATS01 soft starters are compact and cost-effective motor starting solutions designed for basic soft starting of asynchronous motors in standard industrial applications. The ATS01 series focuses on reducing mechanical stress and limiting starting current during motor acceleration, offering a simple and reliable alternative to direct-on-line starting. With a straightforward design and minimal configuration requirements, ATS01 soft starters are well suited for pumps, fans, compressors, and other simple motor-driven machines where basic motor starting control is sufficient.

Product Description: Schneider Electric ATS01N212QN

The Schneider Electric ATS01N212QN is a DIN-rail Altistart 01 soft starter rated for 12 A nominal current and designed for 3-phase supply voltages in the 380–415 V class (supply limits commonly listed as 342–456 V). It is specified for motors up to 5.5 kW (three-phase, at 380–415 V), making it suitable for small to medium machines such as pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and other simple driven equipment where controlled, low-complexity starts are required. The ATS01N212QN uses a voltage-ramp start method, includes an integrated bypass to reduce dissipation during run, and offers simple LED indication and basic I/O for start/stop and end-of-start signalling. Physical packaging is compact (approx. 124 × 45 × 131 mm) and the unit is IP20 rated for enclosure-mounted installations. Ambient operation is specified to 40 °C without derating, with a higher range up to 50 °C subject to current derating.
