132H2236 Danfoss MCD Soft Starter series MCD60448CT5S2X00CV1

Why Choose the Danfoss 132H2236 VLT Soft Starter MCD 600?

The Danfoss 132H2236, also known as the MCD60448CT5S2X00CV1, is a high-performance VLT Soft Starter MCD 600 designed for controlled starting and stopping of three-phase AC motors in demanding industrial automation, process control and machinery applications. Part of the advanced Danfoss VLT MCD 600 soft starter series, it provides intelligent motor starting while helping reduce mechanical stress, electrical demand and installation complexity.

This Danfoss soft starter is supplied without an integrated bypass contactor, making it suitable for installations where an external bypass arrangement is required or specified by the panel design. Its adaptive acceleration control, current feedback and advanced motor protection functions help optimise motor ramp profiles for pumps, compressors, conveyors, fans, mixers and other fixed-speed motor systems.

With a rated current of 448 A, a three-phase 200-525 V AC supply range and 24 V AC/DC control voltage, the 132H2236 is ideal for high-power low-voltage motor starting in industrial control panels. The IP00 frame size S2 format supports protected cabinet installation in motor control centres, process automation panels and larger machinery control assemblies.

Reliable Soft Starting for High-Power Industrial Motors

Soft starters such as the Danfoss MCD 600 control the voltage applied to a motor during starting and stopping. This helps reduce inrush current, mechanical shock and wear on belts, couplings, pumps and driven equipment compared with direct-on-line starting.

The Danfoss 132H2236 is designed for applications requiring dependable high-current motor starting, advanced protection and flexible panel integration. As this model is supplied without an integrated bypass contactor, it is particularly suited to control panel designs where the bypass contactor is installed separately to meet project requirements.

Typical Applications

• Large centrifugal pump control systems.
• Heavy-duty conveyors and material handling equipment.
• Industrial fans, blowers and HVAC motor control panels.
• Compressors and process machinery.
• Mixers, agitators and production equipment.
• Industrial automation and motor control centres.
