Schneider Electric, the global leader in energy management and automation, has launched a new soft motor starter, the Altivar Soft Starter ATS130. This advanced soft starter will enable OEMs, machine builders and panel builders to optimise the design of their machine as well as to reduce the need for preventative maintenance, increase the performance, and extend the lifespan of electric motors in a wide range of industrial applications.
The new ATS130, which has a power range from from 11kW to 55kW, extends on the ATS01 soft starter’s power range and delivers benefits such as increased mechanical and electrical flexibility, increased operational efficiency, and optimised motor management compared to direct-on-line starters.
Easy to install side-by-side, by DIN rail mounting or back plate, the compact ATS130 allows engineers to save space and reduce their cabinet size as well as reduce installation time. The soft starter is the same width as the Schneider Electric’s TeSys Deca circuit breaker and it has a direct connection so it can be integrated easily to create a compact soft motor starter assembled in a single block, covering short-circuit protection, motor thermal protection, phase loss and phase unbalance protection, as well as soft start and stop functions.
The soft starter will increase machine competitiveness by providing:
Claire Jones, Product Marketing Manager Drives UK & IE at Schneider Electric, says: “We are excited to launch the Altivar Soft Starter ATS130 which will become an invaluable part of many electric systems. One of the key features we have focussed on with this product is to align our design phases with our company-wide commitment to improving both efficiency and sustainability. Once installed, the ATS130 doesn’t need power connection tightening torque check or re-tightening, this greatly reduces the need for preventative maintenance while also extending product lifecycles.”
This launch comes at an exciting time for motor management within Schneider Electric as the firm celebrates 100 years of the TeSys offer and prepares for a series of exciting new launches that will enhance the capabilities of end users across a huge variety of sectors.
Optimise machine designs and increase operational efficiency today with the Schneider Electric Altivar Soft Starter ATS130.
