Installation Guidelines

  • Ensure the device is mounted in a vertical position to allow for proper heat dissipation.
  • Maintain adequate clearance around the unit to facilitate airflow and prevent overheating.
  • Use shielded cables for control signals to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Verify that the supply voltage matches the specifications before applying power.
  • Always disconnect the main power supply before performing any wiring or maintenance on the terminal blocks.
  • Ensure proper grounding of the chassis to a common earth point to maintain electrical safety.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the ATS48C21Q?

The ATS48C21Q acts as a soft starter to limit the starting current and torque of three-phase asynchronous motors, preventing mechanical shock and electrical stress on the power distribution network.

Can this soft starter be used for pump applications?

Yes, the Altistart 48 series is specifically designed to handle the torque requirements of pumps, providing smooth transitions that reduce water hammer effects in piping systems.
