ATS480D17Y, ATS480 Series Soft Starter, 7,5 kW, 17 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: ATS480D17Y

The Schneider Electric ATS480D17Y is a three-phase Altivar ATS480 soft starter with a rated operational current of 17 A (normal duty) for motor supplies between 208 and 690 VAC. It supports torque control for controlled acceleration and deceleration and includes integrated motor overload protection. Depending on supply voltage and connection method (line or in-delta), the ATS480D17Y covers a practical motor power range from 4.0 kW (230 V, inline) up to 15.0 kW (690 V, inline) and can be used in delta wiring to extend motor power capacity (for example up to 15.0 kW at 400 V in delta). The unit is IP20 rated and intended for process and infrastructure applications such as pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors where reduced mechanical stress, managed inrush, and accurate stopping are required. This model is offered without an internal bypass and provides digital connectivity options used during commissioning and monitoring.
