The Schneider Electric Altistart 48 Soft Starter — ATS48C59Q is an industrial‑grade electronic soft starter designed for smooth starting and stopping of three‑phase asynchronous motors. It controls motor voltage during start‑up to limit inrush current and reduce mechanical and electrical stresses on motors and driven equipment. This unit is intended for heavy duty industrial applications and pump drives, supporting a broad range of motor sizes and operating conditions. It also provides protection functions such as phase failure and thermal protection for both the motor and the starter. The soft starter complies with international standards and can be integrated into automation systems using communication options such as Modbus (via RS‑485)
