Smooth Starts Every Time with the ATS22
Every time a motor starts, it draws a high inrush current, often six to eight times its rated current. This sudden surge can stress electrical systems, damage equipment, and shorten motor life. For industries relying on pumps, compressors, conveyors, or fans, this problem can lead to costly maintenance and downtime. The solution? A smart, reliable soft starter — like the Schneider Electric Altistart 22 (ATS22).
We at Al Barq KSA are pleased to provide Saudi Arabia with Schneider Electric’s motor control solutions. Businesses seeking smooth motor acceleration, less mechanical stress, and optimal performance in a variety of applications can trust the ATS22 soft starter.
What Makes the ATS22 Special
For three-phase asynchronous motors, the Altistart 22 is a small, smart soft starter. By offering controlled and seamless motor starts, it lessens the electrical and mechanical strain connected to star-delta or direct-on-line (DOL) starting techniques.
The ATS22 removes torque shocks, safeguards mechanical parts, and increases system reliability by progressively raising voltage to enable motors to start gently. For industries that rely on durable, reliable equipment functioning, this makes it perfect.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
The ATS22 soft starter dramatically reduces energy spikes and electrical component wear in contrast to conventional starting techniques that result in high peak currents. This results in increased energy efficiency as well as lower maintenance and replacement expenses.
These reductions can have a significant impact over time, particularly for businesses with big installations or numerous motors. Because of its clever design, the gadget can manage demanding tasks with little operating expenses, which is ideal for today’s sustainability objectives.
Key Features and Benefits
Smooth Motor Acceleration and Deceleration
The soft starter ATS22 offers precise control during both start and stop cycles. Adjustable torque and ramp time allow operators to fine-tune motor performance for their specific applications.
Built-in Motor Protection
Under all operating situations, the drive’s overload protection, phase failure detection, and thermal protection ensure the safety of the motor and related equipment.
Compact and Easy to Install
Its space-saving design makes it ideal for installation in existing panels. With integrated bypass contactors and a simplified wiring layout, it reduces installation time and costs.
User-Friendly Interface
The ATS22’s display and keypad are clear and simple to use, facilitating speedy setup, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
Reliable Performance in Tough Environments
The ATS22 is designed to function in harsh industrial environments and is impervious to dust, vibration, and elevated temperatures, making it perfect for Saudi Arabia’s exacting requirements.
Applications of the ATS22
The Schneider Electric ATS22 is widely used in both industrial and commercial sectors. Its versatility makes it suitable for:
- Pumps – To avoid water hammer and pressure surges during startup
- Fans and Blowers – For controlled acceleration and reduced mechanical noise
- Compressors – To minimize stress on belts, couplings, and bearings
- Conveyors – To ensure smooth, steady motion without jerks or sudden stops
- Mixers and Grinders – For gradual torque application, enhancing safety and product consistency
In every case, the ATS22 improves operational reliability and extends the life of both motors and driven equipment.
Integration with Schneider Electric Ecosystem
Smarter, networked control systems are made possible by the ATS22’s seamless integration with Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure platform. When combined with contactors, circuit breakers, or VFDs such as the Altivar series, it forms a comprehensive, optimal motor control system.
Because of this interoperability, users may create adaptable systems that incorporate speed control, soft beginning, and real-time monitoring to ensure optimal efficiency and low energy waste.
