Reliable Soft Starting for 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 136G8768 is designed for applications requiring dependable motor starting, integrated protection and easy commissioning. Its integrated bypass contactor helps improve efficiency during normal running, while the advanced control functions support smoother operation in demanding industrial environments.

Typical Applications

• Centrifugal pump control systems.
• Conveyors and material handling equipment.
• Fans, blowers and HVAC motor control panels.
• Compressors and process machinery.
• Mixers, agitators and production equipment.
• Industrial automation and motor control centres.
