PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC ATS490C17Y - Altivar Soft Starter
This unit is an industrial soft starter from the SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC Altivar family, designed for controlled acceleration and deceleration of three-phase asynchronous motors. It employs thyristor-based voltage control to mitigate mechanical shock and electrical stress during motor startup and shutdown, extending equipment lifespan and optimizing energy consumption. This component is suitable for applications requiring smooth motor control, such as pumps, fans, conveyors, and compressors, integrating into various industrial automation architectures.
