The Schneider Electric ATS480C32Y is a 32 A Soft Starter from the Altistart 480 series. Designed for three-phase asynchronous motors, it provides controlled acceleration and deceleration to reduce mechanical stress and inrush current. The "C" indicates a Compact enclosure (IP20) for panel mounting, and the "Y" suffix denotes a control voltage of 110-120V AC. It features integrated bypass contacts for energy-efficient running and a fanless heatsink design for high-density installation.
