ATS01N232RT, ATS01 Series Soft Starter, 15 kW, 32 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: ATS01N232RT

The Schneider ATS01N232RT is a compact three-phase motor soft starter rated for 32 A continuous current and intended for 460–480 V AC supply systems. According to Schneider-authorized datasheets and distributor listings, this model is typically applied on motors up to approximately 20 HP (three-phase at 460–480 V), making it suitable for medium-duty pumps, fans and compressors where controlled torque during acceleration reduces mechanical stress and inrush current. The ATS01N232RT uses a voltage-ramp start method with adjustable start and stop times (1 to 10 seconds) and a selectable starting torque range (approximately 30–80% of direct-on-line torque). The unit includes an internal bypass, an IP20 protection rating, basic discrete control inputs and status outputs, and is designed for straightforward, low‑configuration industrial motor starting where simple, reliable soft start functionality is required.
