modes of control paths and, for certain critical control functions, provide
a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure. Examples
of critical control functions are emergency stop and overtravel stop.
• Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control
functions.
• System control paths may include communication links. Consideration
must be given to the implications of unanticipated transmission delays or
failures of the link.1
• Each implementation of an ATS48 soft starter must be individually and
thoroughly tested for proper operation before being placed into service.

05/2008 Section 2—Receiving and Handling
Section 2—Receiving and Handling
Introduction The Altistart® 48 (ATS48) soft starter offers state-of-the-art acceleration and
deceleration control of standard three-phase asynchronous induction
(squirrel cage) motors. The ATS48 controller uses a patented technology to
control the motor performance based on the motor torque rather than simple
voltage or current based control. Advanced control algorithms are
incorporated to help ensure smooth rotation throughout the starting ramp
without mechanical instability at the end of starting.
A microprocessor monitors the motor and controller performance for added
protection of the controller, motor, and driven machinery. A variety of
starting and stopping modes are standard. A digital keypad display is
provided for controller setup and motor performance display.
The ATS48 controller is available in twenty-one current ratings from 17 to
1200 A. All models use a common control interface for consistent and
simple set up. ATS48 controllers are rated for use with 208 to 690 V motors,
and are self-adjusting for a 50 or 60 Hz supply frequency.
This instruction bulletin covers the technical characteristics, specifications,
installation, wiring, programming, and troubleshooting of all ATS48
controllers.
Many option kits are available for the ATS48 controllers. Refer to
Appendix C beginning on page 85.
Terminology Some of the terms and acronyms used in this manual are defined in
Table 2.

Receiving and Preliminary Before installing the ATS48 controller, read this manual and follow all
Inspection precautions.
Before removing the ATS48 controller from its packing material, verify that
the packing carton is not damaged from shipping. Damage to the packing
carton usually indicates improper handling. If any damage is found, notify
the carrier and your Schneider Electric representative.
After removing the ATS48 controller from its packaging, inspect it for
damage. If any shipping damage is found, notify the carrier and your sales
representative. Verify that the ATS48 controller nameplate and label
conform to the packing slip and corresponding purchase order.

or additional equipment damage.
Storing and Shipping If the ATS48 controller is not being immediately installed, store it in a clean,
dry area where the ambient temperature is between -13 and +158 ° F (-25
and +70 ° C). If the ATS48 controller must be shipped to another location,
use the original shipping material and carton to protect it.
Handling the Controller Do not remove the ATS48 controller from the carton until it is at the final
installation site. The carton provides protection and helps prevent damage
to the controller’s exterior. Handle the controller carefully after removing it
from the carton to avoid damage to the internal components, frame, or
exterior. Once removed from the carton, the controller can be handled:
• With a hoist. When hoisting the controller, attach a spreader bar to the
Figure 3: Hoisting the ATS48 Controller two lifting holes on top of the controller as shown in Figure 3.
• In a horizontal position, with the back of the controller resting on a pallet.
The ATS48 range comprises 6 sizes, with various weights and dimensions.
Small controllers can be removed from their packaging and installed without
a handling device. A handling device must be used with large controllers; for
this reason they are supplied with lifting holes.
NOTE: Do not rest the unit directly on the bus bar connectors.

Mounting Precautions Follow these precautions when mounting the ATS48 controller:
• Controllers are open devices and must be installed in suitable
enclosures or controlled access areas. The environment around the
controller must meet Pollution Degree 3 requirements as defined in
NEMA ICS1-1 or IEC 60664-1.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC, SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
ATS48 controllers are open devices and must be mounted in a suitable
enclosure.

injury.
• When the installation surface is not even, put a spacer behind the
controller mounting pads to eliminate gaps. Fastening the controller
exterior to an uneven surface may damage the controller.
• When installing the controller in an enclosure, cover the device to
prevent metallic debris from falling into the controller.
• The ATS48 controller generates heat and must be properly ventilated.
Refer to “Thermal Considerations for Sizing Enclosures” on page 21 to
determine power dissipated.
• When several controllers are installed in a control panel, arrange them in
a row. Do not stack controllers. Heat generated from the bottom
controller can adversely affect the ambient temperature around the top
controller.
CAUTION
CONTROLLER OVERHEATING HAZARD
• Mount the ATS48 controller within ±10° of vertical.
• Do not locate the controller near heat radiating elements.
• Electrical current through the controller will result in heat losses that must
be dissipated into the ambient air immediately surrounding the controller.
To help prevent a thermal fault or equipment damage, provide sufficient
enclosure cooling and/or ventilation to limit the ambient temperature
around the controller
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment

damage.

05/2008 Section 5—Wiring
Section 5—Wiring
Good wiring practice requires the separation of control circuit wiring from all
power (line and load) wiring. Power wiring to the motor must have the
maximum possible separation from all other power wiring. Do not run them
in the same conduit. This separation reduces the possibility of coupling
electrical noise between circuits.
Installation Precautions Follow these precautions when installing the ATS48 controller:
.
DANGER
• Read and understand this manual before installing or operating the
Altistart 48 (ATS48) controller. Installation, adjustment, repair, and
maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel.
• The user is responsible for compliance with all international and national
electrical code requirements with respect to grounding of all equipment.
• Many parts of this drive controller, including the printed circuit boards,
operate at the line voltage. DO NOT TOUCH. Use only electrically
insulated tools.
• DO NOT touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw
connections with voltage present.
• Before servicing the controller:
— Disconnect all power, including external control power that may be
present.
— Place a “DO NOT TURN ON” label on all power disconnects.
— Lock all power disconnects in the open position.
• Install and close all covers before applying power or starting and
stopping the drive controller.

injury.
• Voltage and frequency specifications for the input line must match the
controller configuration.
• A disconnect switch must be installed between the input line and the
controller.
Section 5—Wiring 05/2008
DANGER
• The solid state switches of the ATS48 controller’s power circuit do not
provide complete isolation from the AC line. Due to leakage currents
through the solid-state switches, hazardous voltages can be present on
the controller load-side power circuit whenever power is applied to the
line side of the controller.
• Disconnect all power before servicing the controller or motor.

injury.
• When using an isolation contactor, the contactor must close before or at

the same time as the application of the controller run command. If line
power is not detected at the L1, L2, and L3 terminals of the controller
within 500 ms of this run command, a Phase Failure fault will occur.
• External overcurrent protection devices (OCPD), either fuses or a circuit
breaker, must be installed on the line-side connections of the ATS48
controller. The maximum recommended OCPD rating, along with the
associated controller short circuit withstand rating, is listed in Table 8 on
page 16.
WARNING

WARNING
INADEQUATE OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
• An overcurrent protective device must be installed on the line-side of the
ATS48 controller to achieve published short-circuit withstand ratings.
• Do not exceed the maximum overcurrent protective device ratings
shown in Table 8 on page 16.
• Do not connect the controller to a power feeder whose short circuit
capacity exceeds the controller short circuit withstand rating shown in
Table 8 on page 16.

injury.
• Power factor correction capacitors should not be connected to a motor

controlled by an ATS48 controller. If power factor correction is required,
the capacitors must be located on the line-side of the controller. A
separate contactor should be used to switch the capacitors off when the
motor is off, or during acceleration and deceleration. Refer to bulletin
8638PD9603.
CAUTION
IMPROPER WIRING HAZARD
Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to the load-side power
circuit of the ATS48 controller.

damage.
• The ATS48 controller uses solid-state power switches to control motor

power. When checking the condition of conductor or motor insulation, do
not connect the high potential dielectric test equipment or insulation
resistance tester to the controller since the test voltages used may
damage the controller. Always disconnect the controller from the
conductors or motor before performing such tests.
CAUTION
ATS48 CONTROLLER EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
• Do not perform high potential dielectric tests on circuits while the circuits
are connected to the ATS48 controller.
• Any circuit requiring high potential dielectric tests must be disconnected
from the controller prior to performing the test.

damage.
• The ATS48 controller contains electronic protection to detect and signal

when the solid-state switches have become inoperable.
• Since the solid-state switches may be incapable of completely blocking
the motor power should the controller detect a fault, auxiliary isolation on
the line side of the controller is required. Use either a circuit breaker
equipped with a shunt trip coil or an electromagnetic contactor. Connect
the isolation device to the fault relay of the controller so that it opens the
controller power circuit in the event of a controller detected fault. The

isolation device must be capable of interrupting motor locked rotor
current.
Refer to Appendix A beginning on page 79 for typical circuit diagrams that
display the logic controlling the isolation device via the fault relay.
CAUTION
MOTOR OVERHEATING HAZARD
If the solid-state switches on the ATS48 controller become inoperable,
single-phase operation of the motor can result.
• Use an isolation device consisting of either a circuit breaker equipped
with a shunt trip coil or an electromagnetic contactor to open the line-side
of the controller.
• The isolation device must be capable of interrupting the motor locked
rotor current.
• Connect the fault relay of the controller to open the isolation device in the
event of a controller detected fault.

damage.
WARNING
INADEQUATE SYSTEM GROUNDING—BRANCH CIRCUIT
CONDUCTOR HAZARD
If system grounding is not adequate for ground fault levels, use properly
coordinated external ground fault protection. Possible solutions include:
• Time delay fuses coordinated to 125% of motor FLA
• A properly coordinated external overload relay

System Grounding If system grounding is not adequate to handle ground fault levels which
can exceed 1300% of motor full load amps (FLA), then this device may
not protect the branch circuit conductors. In this case, external ground
fault protection must be properly coordinated. Recommended solutions
include:
• Time delay fuses coordinated to 125% of motor FLA. The fuses listed in
Appendix B beginning on page 83 are sized to ensure proper
coordination and may be used for applications that do not require start
times longer than 50 seconds at 300% current limit or 20 seconds at
500% current limit.
• External overload relay. For multi-motor applications, applications in
which motor does not match the controller size, or applications that use
a full voltage bypass scheme, an external overload relay can be
coordinated to protect conductors from a high-impedance ground fault.
General Wiring Practices When wiring ATS48 controllers, follow the wiring practices required by
national and local electrical codes. In addition, follow these guidelines:
• Use metallic conduit for all controller wiring. Do not run control and
power wiring in the same conduit.
• Separate metallic conduits carrying power wiring or low-level control
wiring by at least 3 in (80 mm).
• Separate non-metallic conduits or cable trays used to carry power wiring
from metallic conduit carrying low-level control wiring by at least 12 in
(305 mm).
• Always cross power and control wiring at right angles.
Adaptation to Line Input The control circuit is completely independent of the power circuit. To apply
control voltage, follow the instructions on the label located on the controller
terminal strip. Remove the terminal cover label and connect single phase
voltage of 110 to 230 +/-15% Vac supply to terminals CL1 and CL2.
The power circuit adapts automatically to the input line voltage and
frequency over a range of 208 to 690 V (+10% to –15%) for standard
controllers.

Control Connections Although all control inputs and outputs of the controller are isolated from the
input lines, follow these control wiring precautions:
• Keep control wiring conductor runs short and direct.
• Ensure that the control contacts used with the controller inputs are rated
for operation at open circuit voltages of 24 Vdc and closed circuit
currents of 10 mAdc.
• The analog output requires twisted cable with a pitch of 1–2 inches. Use
a cable shield. The shield must be terminated to ground at one end.
• Ensure that the coils of all relays and solenoids connected to the output
contacts of the controller are equipped with appropriate transient
suppressors.
• For proper control wiring, route conductors to avoid contact with other
voltage potentials in the controller. Wire insulation must have the
appropriate voltage rating for the voltage present.
• The control terminals are fitted with one way plug-in connectors with:
— Maximum wire size: 12 AWG (2.5 mm2)
— Maximum tightening torque: 3.5 lb-in. (4 N•m)
• On ATS48C17Y to ATS48M12Y the cover must be removed in order to
access the control terminals.

Section 6—Application and Motor Protection
Soft Starter Applications The ATS48 soft starter must be selected for the nominal power of the motor
and for the type of application, standard or severe duty. Standard and
severe define the limiting values of the current and the duty cycle
characteristics. The ATS48 controller is factory preset to start the motor in
standard duty applications.
Standard Duty Applications In standard duty applications, the ATS48 soft starter is designed to provide:
• Starting at 400% of IN1 for 23 seconds, or 300% of IN for 46 seconds,
from a cold state
• Starting at 400% of IN for 12 seconds, or 300% of IN for 23 seconds, with
a load factor of 50% and 10 starts per hour or an equivalent thermal
cycling
• The motor thermal protection conforms to Class 10 overload protection.
Severe Duty Applications In severe duty applications, the ATS48 soft starter is designed to provide:
• Starting at 400% of IN for 48 seconds, or 300% of IN for 90 seconds,
from a cold state
• Starting at 400% of IN for 25 seconds with a load factor of 50% and 5
starts per hour or an equivalent thermal cycling
• The motor thermal protection conforms to Class 20 thermal overload
protection.
Reduced Torque The key to applying a soft start successfully is matching the load to the
motor capability while starting with reduced voltage applied. The
asynchronous motor associated with the ATS48 soft starter must be able to
accelerate the driven load when supplied with reduced voltage and current.
When reduced voltage is applied to a motor during acceleration, the current
the motor draws is reduced by the ratio of the voltage applied. The torque
produced by the motor varies with the square of the voltage at a fixed
frequency. Figure 17 on page 38 shows the speed/torque characteristics as
a function of the supply voltage.

IN is the user-defined motor current rating. It is the same as full load amperes (FLA).

A soft start progressively increases voltage to the motor. By ramping the

voltage, the ATS48 soft starter limits the amount of current the motor can
draw during starting to a user-defined setting. Figure 18 shows the
speed/torque characteristics of a motor as a function of starting current. The
ATS48 soft starter provides optimal acceleration by ramping the
acceleration torque within the envelope of curve Td1.
INTELE™ Braking When using INTELE braking, the stop time (t3) is less than the freewheel
stopping time (t1). INTELE braking is a two-part braking process which does
not require external components. It produces less motor heat than
traditional DC injection braking.
INTELE braking is best used when all of the criteria below are met:
• 4-pole or 6-pole motors only
• motor slip is less than or equal to 3%

where:

WK2 = Connected motor load inertia (lb-ft2)
Δrpm = Change in rpm or synchronous speed
TFLT = Full Load Torque (lb-ft)
Motor Protection and Diagnostics On all controllers, the motor protection features are available even if a
shorting/bypass contactor is used to bypass the SCRs after the motor is up
to speed. To assist with troubleshooting, the 3-digit LCD displays status
codes. The controller memory registers and maintains the previous 5 status
codes, even following power loss.
Thermal Overload Protection The ATS48 controller is a UL Listed motor controller with integrated motor
and controller thermal protection. The motor and controller temperature are
continuously calculated based on the controller nominal current and the
current that is actually drawn. An electronic circuit, which stores the thermal
state of the motor even if the supply power is disconnected, simulates the
cooling curve.
Overload of any kind over any duration can cause the motor temperature to
rise. As Figure 19 shows, the ATS48 controller creates a digital model of the
motor temperature based on two thermal images. The first (T1) represents
the level of temperature rise corresponding to iron (motor frame). The
second (T2) represents the temperature rise of copper (stator, windings).
For each thermal image, two levels of alarm are detected.
An overload pre-alarm is signaled by logic output LO1 when the motor has
exceeded its nominal temperature rise threshold. A pre-alarm is signaled
when the thermal state exceeds 105% for T1 and/or 130% for T2.
A thermal fault signal stops the motor when the temperature rise exceeds
the critical threshold. A thermal fault is signaled by relay R1 when the motor
thermal state exceeds 110% for T1 and 140% for T2.

The ATS48 controller is preset to provide Class 10 thermal overload

protection for standard duty applications. The ATS48 controller can be
adjusted to provide Class 2, 10A, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 thermal overload
protection, as necessary. Class 2 protection is available for applications
such as submersible pumps, where very tight control of motor temperature
is required. Class 30 protection is available for applications such as high
inertia loading, where a longer than normal starting time is required to
accelerate the load to full speed. In addition, the internal overload protection
may be disabled if motor protection is provided externally.
The various thermal overload protection classes are defined to meet the
standards of IEC 60947-4-2 for starting from both cold and hot states. A
cold state is defined as the stabilized motor thermal state when the motor is
off. Figure 20 shows the approximate trip times for starting from a cold state.

Motor Thermal Protection with PTC thermistor probes integrated in the motor to measure the motor
PTC Thermistor Probes temperature can be connected to the control card terminals. This analog
value is managed by the controller.
The PTC probe thermal overshoot value can be processed and used in two
ways:
• To stop the machine in the event of a detected thermal trip condition, if
the signal is active.
• To activate an alarm if the signal is active. This alarm can be displayed
in a controller status word (serial link) or on a configurable logic output.
NOTE: PTC probe protection does not deactivate the motor thermal
protection provided by the calculation. Both types of protection can operate
in parallel.
Preventive Maintenance The following steps should be done at regular intervals:

1. Check the condition and tightness of the connections.
2. Make sure ventilation is effective and the temperature around the
controller remains at an acceptable level.
3. Remove any dust and debris from the controller, if necessary.

Type of stop d-b-F -F-

Three types of stop are possible:
• -d-: Soft stopping by control of motor torque. The soft starter applies torque to the
;I= motor in order to decelerate progressively on the ramp, avoiding a rapid stop. This
type of stop reduces the risk of water hammer on a pump.
• -b-: INTELE braking stop: The soft starter generates braking torque in the motor
which will slow the motor down if there is considerable inertia. (See page 38.)
• -F-: Freewheel stop: The soft starter applies no torque to the motor.

Input pages 57 and 58) or any other condition requiring a run command reset (LIr,
see pages 57 and 58), then for the motor to restart, the following conditions
must be met:
• The soft starter must send a pulse on logic input LI.
• In 2-wire control, the run command must be maintained on the RUN
input.
• In 3-wire control, a new run command (rising edge) must be initiated on
the RUN input.
See Table 2 on page 9 for wiring the logic inputs.
Troubleshooting Procedure When troubleshooting the soft starter, discuss the symptoms of the reported
problem with the operating personnel. Ask the operator to describe the
problem and to identify when and where it first occurred. Then directly
observe the controller and process. Copy the Troubleshooting Sheet on
page 74 and use it to record the controller, motor, and peripheral equipment
nameplate data.

Appendix A—Recommended Wiring Diagrams
Figures 33–35 (pages 80–82) illustrate circuit diagrams for typical non-
reversing and reversing applications in 2-wire and 3-wire control. The
recommended circuit diagrams include SCR fault isolation for optimal
protection of the motor, driven machinery, and operating personnel.
Table 30: Description of Logic for Recommended Wiring Diagrams
Item Name Description

The isolation contactor logic closes IC1 upon a start command and opens IC1 after the stop is complete. The RCR
IC1 (or RFR and RRR for reversing) are timed contacts that must have a time delay greater than the deceleration ramp
Isolation Contactor (Fwd) time or the INTELE braking time. When a coast stop is selected, the time delay must be set for a time that will allow
IC1A complete decay of the motor residual voltage. The isolation contactor opens immediately upon a detected fault. The
pilot relay (IC1A) is required when the IC1 contactor coil exceeds the relay rating.
IC2 Used for reversing applications only, the IC2 must be mechanically interlocked to IC1. A reversing contactor may be
Isolation Contactor (Rev) used for the combination of IC1 and IC2. In general, the operation of IC2 is identical to IC1. The pilot relay (IC1A) is
IC2A required when the IC1 contactor coil exceeds the relay rating.
The shorting contactor is used to reduce the heat dissipated by the controller when the motor is operating at full
speed and voltage. The controller provides proper sequencing of this contactor by the “end-start-up” relay. When the
SC Shorting Contactor and start is completed, the shorting contactor will be commanded to close. The controller will continue to monitor the
SCA Pilot Relay motor thermal state and provide motor overload protection. Upon a stop command, the SC contactor will open,
transferring the motor current to the SCRs to allow for controlled deceleration if desired. The pilot relay (SCA) is
required when the SC contactor coil exceeds the relay rating.
Transient suppression of all relay and contactor coils (except ST) is recommended to minimize the possibility of
TS Transient Suppressors
electrical interference with the controller electronics and to increase relay contact life.
Used in all non-reversing logic (optional in shunt trip) for proper sequencing of contactor logic. When energized,
RCR initiates the start sequence. When de-energized, stopping is initiated. Operator controls can be either on/off
RCR Run Command Relay selector switch, HOA selector switch or start/stop push buttons. RCR remains energized during a fault condition.
Once the fault condition has been cleared, RCR must be de-energized by a “stop” command then re-energized to
restart the controller.
Used for reversing applications only, this coil duplicates the functionality of RCR for the forward direction and is
RFR Run Forward Relay
interlocked with the RFR relay.
Used for reversing applications only, this coil duplicates the functionality of RCR for the reverse direction and is
RRR Run Reverse Relay
interlocked with the RRR relay.
This coil is attached to the shunt trip coil on the disconnect and will energize 2 seconds after a controller detected
ST Shunt Trip Coil fault by the TR timer contact. The time delay is to prevent nuisance tripping of the circuit breaker during controller
power-up or during line undervoltage conditions.
TR Trip Relay Used in shunt trip circuit breaker logic only; coil energized upon a controller detected fault.
Used with logic diagrams that use an isolation contactor. The fault relay is energized during normal operation and
FR Fault Relay deenergizes if the controller detected fault contacts open or if the motor thermal switch (if supplied) opens. FR also
provides additional contacts for the controller detected fault output.
To select control operators (push buttons, pilot lamps, and selector

switches), control power transformers, and wire management devices
(control and power terminal strips, wire terminations) indicated on the
recommended wiring diagram configurations, refer to the latest editions of
Schneider Electric’s full line product catalogs.

(1) Motor full load currents through 500 hp @ 460/575 V, 250 hp @ 230 V, and 200 hp @ 208 V are taken from the National Electric Code (NFPA 70-2002, Table 430.150). Above these ratings,
motor full load currents are calculated based upon 1.2 A/hp for 460 V and 2.4 A/hp for 230 V. Motors listed are for standard duty applications. For severe duty applications, select the next
larger soft start size.
(2) The ambient temperature indicated in the table represents the temperature of the air surrounding the ATS48 soft start. Any additional temperature factors associated with the enclosure
system or actual installation ambient temperature must be considered when determining the actual rated current (ICL) of the soft start. For operating ambient above 40 °C (104 °F) without
a shorting/bypass contactor and 50 °C (122 °F) with a shorting/bypass contactor but not exceeding 60 °C (140 °F) , the rated current (ICL) of the soft start must be de-rated by 2% per °C.

1 All coils are selected for 120 V, 60 Hz operation. Refer to the Digest for additional coil voltages or auxiliary contact configurations. One block may be added to each
contactor.
2
Power terminals are not included with LC1-F contactors. Refer to the latest editions of Schneider Electric’s full line product catalogs for additional ordering
information.
3
The use of transient suppressors across all contactor coils is recommended. Refer to the latest editions of Schneider Electric’s full line product catalogs for selection
of transient suppressors.
4 Recommended contactors are sized for a utilization category AC1 rating and must not make or break motor current. Sequencing of these contactors must be as
shown on the recommended wiring diagrams in Appendix A. See pages 80 to 82.
5
According to the National Electrical Code, branch circuit overcurrent protection must be provided for each controller. Short circuit protective devices recommended
in this table are within NEC requirements for Type 1 coordination.
6
Reversing contactors for C11 through M12 controllers must be assembled from components. Parts quantities for a basic contactor assembly, minus the power
connection links and terminals, are indicated before each part number. Refer to the latest editions of Schneider Electric’s full line product catalogs for power
connector link and terminal kits. Reversing contactor interlock units used for the C79 through M12 controllers are designed for vertical interlocking of the individual
contactors. Horizontally interlocked contactors are used for D17 through C59 controllers.

The molded case switches and circuit breakers selected require the addition of operator mechanisms to allow operation from the exterior of an enclosure. Refer to
the latest editions of Schneider Electric’s full line product catalogs for operator mechanism information. When using a shunt trip relay for SCR fault isolation, order
a disconnect switch with suffix -1021 for addition of shunt trip coil.

The D-Line contactor is available as a reversing configuration. For these applications, change the IC1 part number prefix from LC1- to LC2- to order the IC1 and
IC2 combination complete with mechanical interlocks.
10 Devices rated above 660 A have not been coordinated with circuit breakers. You must use a Class L fuse for overcurrent protection with ATS48 controller models
C79, M10, and M12.
