Danfoss VLT Soft Starter MCD 500 MCD50131BT5G2X

Why Choose the Danfoss 175G5533 Soft Starter?

The Danfoss 175G5533 is a powerful VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 engineered to provide smooth, controlled starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. Identified by the type code MCD5-0131B-T5-G2X-00-CV2, this model features a 110-120 V AC / 220-240 V AC control supply, making it ideal for installations requiring an alternative control voltage configuration.

The MCD 500 series reduces electrical inrush current and mechanical stress during motor acceleration and deceleration. Adaptive Acceleration Control automatically adjusts the motor starting profile to suit the connected application, helping extend the service life of motors, pumps, compressors, conveyors and other driven equipment while reducing maintenance requirements.

With a 131 A rated operational current, a three-phase 200-525 V AC mains supply and a 110-120 V AC or 220-240 V AC control supply, the Danfoss 175G5533 is ideally suited to industrial pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and process machinery. Its integrated bypass contactor improves efficiency by reducing heat generation once the motor reaches full operating speed.
