Danfoss VLT Soft Starter MCD 500 MCD50068BT7G1X

Why Choose the Danfoss 175G5552 VLT Soft Starter MCD 500?

The Danfoss 175G5552 is an ultra heavy-duty VLT Soft Starter MCD 500 designed to provide controlled starting and stopping of extremely large three-phase AC motors in demanding industrial and process applications. As part of the advanced Danfoss MCD 500 soft starter series, it delivers intelligent motor control, reduced mechanical stress and comprehensive protection for high-power motor-driven systems.

The MCD 500 range uses advanced digital soft start technology with current feedback and Adaptive Acceleration Control (AAC) to automatically select and optimise motor acceleration and stopping profiles. This helps reduce electrical inrush current, minimise mechanical shock and improve equipment reliability.

With a rated current of 1600 A, a 200–525 V AC three-phase supply and a robust IP00 G5 enclosure design, the Danfoss 175G5552 is designed for the largest industrial motor applications requiring reliable soft starting performance. The unit supports 110–120 V AC and 220–240 V AC control voltage options for flexible control panel integration.
