The ATS48C21Q is an industrial soft starter designed for three-phase asynchronous motors. It provides smooth soft start and soft stop control with torque management to minimize mechanical and electrical stress during motor startup and stopping. This reduces wear on motors and connected equipment, improves process reliability, and optimizes energy usage. The unit includes motor protection features and can interface with automation systems via optional communication modules. It is suitable for pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and other industrial machinery requiring controlled motor startup and stopping.
