ATS480C41Y, ATS480 Series Soft Starter, 220 kW, 410 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: Schneider Electric ATS480C41Y

The Schneider Electric ATS480C41Y is a three-phase ATS480 soft starter rated for 410 A (normal duty) with a wide supply voltage range of 208–690 V AC and 50/60 Hz operation. It supports torque (true torque) control and is suitable for large motors used in heavy industrial applications. Typical motor compatibility spans from about 110 kW at 230 V up to 400 kW at 690 V (normal duty values), with heavy-duty current rating published as 320 A at 40 °C. The unit accepts a control supply of 110–250 V AC and is designed for process and infrastructure applications such as large pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors where reduced mechanical stress and controlled current ramp-up are required. This model also supports multiple communication option cards (Profibus DP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP/EtherNet‑IP, CANopen variants) for integration into automation systems and provides integrated motor overload protection and monitoring functions as documented in manufacturer and authorised distributor technical data.
