Schneider Electric SE ATS01N232RT Soft Starter

The Schneider Electric SE ATS01N232RT Soft Starter (Altistart 01) is a three-phase motor soft starter that smoothly ramps voltage to asynchronous motors, reducing inrush current and mechanical stress during startup and stop. Designed for 460–480 V AC 3‑phase systems at 50/60 Hz, it handles up to 32 A and supports a 20 HP motor at 460–480 V. This panel-mount device includes an integrated heat sink and an integrated bypass for efficient operation in industrial motor control environments. It is commonly used in pumps, conveyors, compressors, fans, HVAC equipment, packaging lines, and material handling or manufacturing processes where controlled acceleration and deceleration improve motor performance and equipment life. The ATS01N232RT is aimed at maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators for equipment replacements, retrofits, and new automation installations. Common replacements include Schneider Electric ATS01N232QN and ATS01N232LU soft starters, with Siemens 3RW3026 serving as a comparable option.
