ATS480D62Y, ATS480 Series Soft Starter, 30 kW, 62 A, 208 to 690V AC

Schneider Electric ATS480 Soft Starter Series – Overview

Schneider Electric ATS480 soft starters are advanced motor control solutions designed to deliver smooth, controlled starting and stopping of asynchronous motors in demanding industrial environments. The ATS480 series focuses on reducing mechanical stress, limiting inrush current, and improving overall system reliability through intelligent control and integrated motor protection features. With robust design, advanced diagnostics, and flexible communication options, Schneider ATS480 soft starters are well suited for applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and process machinery. The ATS480 series supports energy-efficient motor operation while enhancing equipment lifespan and process stability across a wide range of industrial sectors.

Product Description: ATS480D62Y

The Schneider Electric ATS480D62Y is a 3‑phase Altivar ATS480 soft starter rated for 62 A (normal duty) and designed for supply voltages from 208 V up to 690 V AC. Depending on supply voltage and connection mode (inline or inside-delta), the ATS480D62Y covers typical motor power ranges up to approximately 15–45 kW (manufacturer distributor data lists 15 kW at low voltages and up to 45 kW at higher voltages for inline configuration; higher delta-configured ratings are supported per installation guidelines). The unit uses Schneider’s Torque Control System (TCS) to manage acceleration and deceleration, and provides integrated motor protection functions such as overload, locked-rotor and phase-loss detection. The model is intended for demanding industrial and infrastructure applications—pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and other process machinery—where controlled starting, reduced mechanical stress and reliable stopping of high-inertia loads are required. ATS480D62Y is IP20 enclosure rated, supports Modbus RTU serial communication via RJ45 (with optional communication modules available for other networks), and is supplied as an external-bypass type soft starter in the documented product listings.
