The ATS22C59Q belongs to Schneider Electric’s Altistart 22 series, engineered for controlled starting and stopping of high-power three-phase induction motors. It uses voltage ramp technology combined with current limitation to reduce inrush current and mechanical stress during motor startup.
The device integrates SCR-based power control with an internal bypass system, ensuring efficient thermal management and stable long-term operation. It is widely used in heavy industrial applications such as infrastructure systems, process industries, and large-scale manufacturing facilities where reliability and uptime are critical.
Although still present in legacy installations, it has been phased out for new projects in favor of newer-generation soft starter platforms.
