The Altistart 48 soft start offers advanced electronic soft start, soft stop performance through the exclusive torque control system (TCS). By controlling motor torque, the Altistart 48 soft start provides enhanced control for a wide variety of applications versus traditional voltage ramp or current limit soft starters. TCS optimizes ramp control during soft starting and stopping, minimizes motor temperature during acceleration and requires minimal adjustment for most applications. With TCS, unscheduled downtime is reduced and motor and machine life extended. Additional advanced features of the Altistart 48 soft start, including PTC probe motor protection, POWERSUITE™ software and ModBus® protocol, meet the high demands of automated facilities for advanced motor protection and communication capabilities. The compact Altistart 48 accommodates ranges for low powered (2 to 1200 hp) and low voltage (208 to 575 VAC) motors.
