Schneider ATS01N232QN

The Schneider ATS01N232QN soft starter is a compact and efficient solution designed to enhance the performance and longevity of asynchronous motors. This soft starter is part of the renowned Altistart 01 family and is specifically engineered for simple machine applications. With a rated supply voltage of 380 to 415 V AC and a motor power capacity of 15 kW for three-phase systems, it is an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial settings.

The ATS01N232QN is equipped with a built-in bypass function and offers a smooth start with a voltage ramp, ensuring a controlled and gradual increase in voltage to the motor, which minimises mechanical stress and electrical peak demands. The starter's current consumption is rated at 160 A at nominal load, and it features an adjustable starting time from 1 to 10 seconds, allowing for customisation to specific application requirements.

This soft starter's discrete input type includes logic LI1, LI2, and BOOST functions, with a discrete input voltage of 24 to 40 V. It also provides discrete output signals, including an open collector logic LO1 end of starting signal and relay outputs R1A, R1C NO, with a discrete output voltage of 24 V.

The ATS01N232QN is designed with a heat sink assembly style and has a power dissipation of 324.5 W in a transient state and 4.5 W at full load and at the end of starting. It is also equipped with LEDs to indicate when the starter is powered up and when the nominal voltage is reached.

With a height of 154 mm, a width of 45 mm, and a depth of 131 mm, the ATS01N232QN's compact design allows for easy integration into existing systems without requiring significant space. The product's weight is a manageable 0.56 kg, making it easy to handle during installation.

The soft starter conforms to utilisation category AC-53B, in line with EN/IEC 60947-4-2 standards, and has an IP20 degree of protection, ensuring it is safeguarded against solid objects larger than 12 mm but not against water. It is designed to operate within an ambient temperature range of -10 to 40 °C without derating and can be stored at temperatures ranging from -25 to 70 °C.

Overall, the Schneider ATS01N232QN soft starter is a reliable and practical component for industrial applications that require controlled motor start-up and protection.
