Danfoss VLT Soft Starter MCD 500 MCD50215BT5G2X
Danfoss 175G5511 VLT Soft Starter MCD50216BT5G2X00CV1 soft starter for controlled starting and stopping of industrial three-phase motors with 216 A operational current.
Why Choose the Danfoss 175G5511 Soft Starter?
The Danfoss 175G5511 is a high-capacity VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 designed to provide intelligent starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors in demanding industrial applications. With the type code MCD5-0215B-T5-G2X-00-CV1, this advanced digital soft starter delivers precise motor control, integrated bypass technology and comprehensive protection for reliable long-term operation.
The MCD 500 series is engineered to reduce electrical inrush current and mechanical shock during motor start-up and stopping. Its Adaptive Acceleration Control automatically optimises acceleration and deceleration profiles to suit the connected load, helping to extend equipment life while reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
With a 215 A rated operational current, a three-phase 200-525 V AC mains supply and a 24 V AC/DC control supply, the Danfoss 175G5511 is ideal for heavy-duty industrial motors used in pumps, conveyors, compressors, fans, crushers and process machinery. The integrated bypass contactor improves efficiency by reducing heat generation once the motor reaches full operating speed.
