Why Choose the Danfoss VLT MCD 201 Compact Soft Starter?
The Danfoss VLT® MCD 201 (SKU: 175G5188) is a compact and highly reliable soft starter designed to provide smooth starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors. As part of the trusted Danfoss VLT MCD 200 series, it reduces mechanical wear, limits inrush current and helps extend the service life of motors and driven equipment. Featuring an integrated bypass contactor, the MCD 201 delivers high efficiency with minimal heat generation during normal operation.
Designed for machine builders, panel manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers, the MCD 201 combines advanced motor protection with a compact A-frame enclosure. The integrated bypass contactor reduces power dissipation after start-up, allowing smaller control panels and eliminating the need for additional external bypass equipment.
With a 34 A current rating, support for three-phase 200-575 V AC motors and a maximum motor power of 15 kW, the Danfoss MCD 201 is ideal for pumps, compressors, conveyors, fans and general industrial machinery requiring reliable soft motor starting.
