Product Overview
The Schneider Electric ATS480D88Y is an Altivar ATS480 series soft starter designed for controlled starting and stopping of three-phase asynchronous AC motors. It reduces inrush current, mechanical stress, and torque shock by gradually ramping motor voltage during startup.
This model is part of the medium-to-heavy industrial range, commonly used in process industries and infrastructure systems.

Function and Working Principle
The ATS480D88Y controls motor starting by gradually increasing voltage and torque, instead of applying full voltage instantly.
Operating Process
- Motor receives reduced starting voltage
- Voltage ramps up smoothly over programmed time
- Torque is controlled according to load demand
- Motor reaches rated speed without mechanical shock
- Optional soft stop reduces stopping stress
System Flow
Power Supply → Soft Starter → Controlled Voltage Output → Motor → Mechanical Load
Key Functions
- Soft start and soft stop control
- Torque control during acceleration
- Reduced inrush current
- Lower mechanical wear on equipment
- Built-in motor protection functions
- Suitable for high-inertia loads
Industrial Applications
- Pumps and pumping stations
- Compressors
- Fans and ventilation systems
- Conveyors
- Crushers and mills
- HVAC systems
- Water treatment plants
- General industrial motor control systems
Installation Notes
- Installed in industrial control panels or MCCs
- Requires proper ventilation for heat dissipation
- Must be protected by upstream circuit breaker
