The ATS48D32Q – what you’re sourcing
The ATS48D32Q is a soft starter from Schneider’s Altistart 48 range, designed for asynchronous motors in heavy duty and pump applications. It carries a CE marking and conforms to IEC 60947-4-2. Rated supply voltage is 230…415 VAC -15…+10 % at 50…60 Hz ±5 %. The unit can be connected in the motor supply line or to the motor delta terminals, with the motor power kW depending on the connection and duty severity. Motor power table spans 5.5 kW (230 V line, severe) up to 22 kW (400 V delta, standard). The utilization category is AC-53A, confirming it for soft starting and stopping of induction motors. Built-in protection covers phase failure (line side) and motor thermal protection via a PTC input (750 Ω at 25 °C). The starter has 5 discrete inputs; Stop, Run, LI3, LI4 are logic-level, and one is a PTC input. Derating applies above 1000 m altitude.
Key ratings for fit
The motor power table is the critical cross-check: 7.5 kW at 230 V line (standard), 15 kW at 230 V delta (standard), 11 kW at 400 V line (severe), 22 kW at 400 V delta (standard). Match your motor kW, connection method, and application duty to select the right operating point. Supply voltage range: 230…415 VAC -15…+10 % at 50…60 Hz ±5 %. Protection includes phase failure detection and motor thermal model. Altitude derating: above 1000 m, reduce rated current by 2.2 % per additional 100 m. The PTC input threshold is 750 Ω at 25 °C.
