What is soft starter schneider?

A soft starter from Schneider is a solid-state device that reduces the torque and current surge at startup of an industrial motor. It gradually increases the voltage applied to the motor, allowing it to smoothly accelerate and reach the desired speed without putting excessive strain on the equipment. The Schneider soft starters are designed for different applications and motor sizes, and they offer advanced features such as overload protection, bypass contactors, and communication interfaces. They provide benefits such as energy savings, mechanical stress reduction, and longer equipment lifespan. Schneider offers a range of soft starters including the ATS01 series for single-phase motor control and the ATS48 series for three-phase motor control.
