Product Overview
The Schneider ATS48D75Q Soft Starter is an industrial motor-control device designed to manage the starting and stopping of AC motors in demanding automation and process applications. As a member of the Schneider ATS48 soft starter family, it is intended for motor-driven equipment where direct starting may cause excessive current, mechanical shock, or unstable process behavior.
When an induction motor is started directly across the line, it can draw a high starting current and generate a rapid increase in torque. For larger mechanical systems, this sudden change can place stress on shafts, couplings, gearboxes, belts, pumps, fans, compressors, and other driven components.
The ATS48D75Q provides a controlled starting process that allows motor acceleration to be managed according to the characteristics of the motor and connected load. Properly applied, this approach can help reduce starting stress, improve mechanical smoothness, and support more stable machine operation.
The supplied physical specifications for the Schneider ATS48D75Q are 290 × 190 × 235 mm, with a listed weight of 8.3 kg.
Typical applications include pumps, conveyors, fans, compressors, blowers, material-handling equipment, and industrial machinery.

Mechanical Load
During startup, the soft starter manages the motor’s electrical starting conditions to provide controlled acceleration.
Instead of applying the motor’s starting conditions abruptly, the system aims to produce a more progressive transition:
Start Command → Controlled Acceleration → Normal Motor Operation
This can be especially useful for mechanical systems with high inertia or applications where sudden motor starting can disturb the production process.
How Soft Starting Works
The current drawn by an induction motor during acceleration is typically much higher than its steady-state running current.
A direct start can therefore result in:
- High starting current
- Sudden torque
- Mechanical shock
- Voltage disturbance
- Increased stress on connected equipment
A soft starter controls the starting process to provide a more gradual acceleration.
The actual result depends on:
- Motor characteristics
- Motor current
- Mechanical load
- Load inertia
- Acceleration requirements
- Starting frequency
- Supply conditions
- Application configuration
The ATS48D75Q should therefore be configured for the actual machine rather than using settings copied from an unrelated installation.
Main Functions
Controlled Motor Acceleration
The ATS48D75Q provides a controlled transition from the stopped state to normal motor operation.
Reduced Mechanical Shock
Progressive acceleration can help reduce sudden stress on:
- Shafts
- Couplings
