Advanced Motor Starting for Heavy Industrial Loads

Soft starters reduce the high inrush current and mechanical shock associated with direct-on-line motor starting. By gradually increasing motor voltage during startup and reducing it during stopping, the Danfoss MCD201-110-T6-CV3 helps extend motor life, reduce wear on mechanical components and improve overall system reliability. Integrated bypass technology also improves energy efficiency by minimising internal heat losses during normal operation.

The Danfoss 175G5197 is designed for demanding industrial environments where reliable heavy-duty motor starting is essential. Its robust design and integrated protection functions make it suitable for OEM machinery, industrial pumping systems, compressors and material handling equipment.

Typical Applications

• Industrial pumps and water treatment systems.
• Large compressors and HVAC equipment.
• Heavy-duty conveyors and material handling systems.
• Industrial fans and ventilation systems.
• Mining, processing and manufacturing machinery.
• OEM automation and machine building applications.
