It covers a wide motor power band — from 75 kW up to 250 kW — depending on whether you wire it in-line or in-delta, and whether the duty is standard or severe. The AC-53A utilization category tells you it's designed for frequent starts and stops typical of pumps and heavy industrial loads, not just occasional across-the-line starting. ## Power Ratings & Connection Flexibility The ATS48C32QS316 supports two wiring topologies: in the motor supply line (standard) or connected to the motor delta terminals. Each changes the effective power rating. For example, at 400 V in standard duty, it handles 160 kW in-line and 250 kW in-delta. At 230 V in severe duty, it's rated 75 kW in-line and 132 kW in-delta. This flexibility lets you match the soft starter to the motor's actual connection without oversizing. ## Built-in Protections & Compliance The unit includes phase-failure protection on the line side and thermal protection for both the motor and the starter itself — so it can serve as the motor overload device in many installations, eliminating a separate relay. It carries CE marking and is built to IEC 60947-4-2, the standard for AC semiconductor motor controllers and starters. That's the spec that governs coordination, short-circuit protection, and endurance for this class of device.","metaTitle":"Schneider ATS48C32QS316 Altistart 48 Soft Starter, 285A","metaDescription":"Schneider ATS48C32QS316 Altistart 48 soft starter, 285A, 230-415V, 75-250kW.
