Schneider Electric Altistart 01 Soft Start, , 460 V ac, 3 Phase, IP20

Created and designed to operate as a torque limiter on starting, or as a soft start or soft stop unit for asynchronous motors. This range of soft starters enhances the starting performance of asynchronous motors by allowing them to start smoothly, gradually and in a controlled manner. They are compact and easy to install, the Altistart 01 series can be mounted side by side.

May be used with single or three phase motors

Power ratings stated are for 3 phase 400V motors. These units may also be used with lower voltage 3 phase motors and single phase motors. Please refer to technical data sheet for further information.

This soft start device effectively manages the starting and stopping of asynchronous motors in various applications. It reduces mechanical stress and electrical shocks during start-up, ensuring smooth operation that enhances both reliability and efficiency. The multiple programmable features allow for customisation, making it suitable for demanding environments.

• Integrated bypass function reduces energy loss during operation
