Created and designed to operate as a torque limiter on starting, or as a soft start or soft stop unit for asynchronous motors. This range of soft starters enhances the starting performance of asynchronous motors by allowing them to start smoothly, gradually and in a controlled manner. They are compact and easy to install, the Altistart 01 series can be mounted side by side.

Set your wheels in motion with this soft starter from Schneider Electric. It steadily ramps up the supply voltage to an asynchronous motor until it reaches full power, preventing damage and allowing you to stay in control of your machinery. You can choose a start and stop time between 1 and 10 seconds to suit your application. Selecting the duration and initial voltage is simple, as you simply twist the dials on the front of the starter. This means it's a doddle to get conveyors, pumps and compressors up and running smoothly.

• Rear clip and mounting holes mean it fits onto a DIN rail or plate
• LEDs let you know when the power's on and your motor's at full voltage
• Integrated bypass helps it to work quietly and efficiently
• Compact dimensions of 154 (L) x 45 (W) x 131mm (D) mean it has no trouble fitting in your control cabinet

• Industrial automation
• Water treatment plants
• Sawmills
• Construction industry

As the unit works in temperatures between -10°C and +40°C without derating, you can depend on it in challenging conditions.
