The ATS22C59S6 belongs to Schneider Electric’s Altistart 22 series, designed for controlled starting and stopping of very high-power three-phase induction motors. It uses voltage ramp and current-limiting control to reduce electrical stress and mechanical shock during motor startup.
The unit combines SCR-based power control with an integrated bypass system, ensuring efficient thermal performance and stable long-term operation. It is widely used in heavy industrial environments such as infrastructure systems, process plants, and large-scale manufacturing facilities where reliability is essential.
Although still found in many installed systems worldwide, it has been replaced in new designs by newer-generation Schneider soft starters.
The Schneider ATS22C59S6 Soft Starter Module is designed for ultra-high power industrial motor control applications where smooth acceleration, controlled torque, and reduced inrush current are critical for system stability. It is widely used in heavy-duty process industries with large inertia loads and continuous operation requirements.
Typical applications include:
Large-scale water pumping and distribution systems
Industrial HVAC chillers, cooling towers, and air handling systems
High-capacity compressor stations and gas processing systems
Conveyor systems for bulk and continuous material handling
Mining, cement, steel, and heavy manufacturing industries
High-power three-phase induction motor drives in process plants
Its voltage ramp control significantly reduces mechanical stress and electrical shock during startup, improving equipment lifespan and overall system reliability.
