Danfoss 175G5559 VLT Soft Starter MCD 500 with 215 A current rating, integrated bypass and three-phase 380-690 V AC operation for industrial motor control applications.
The Danfoss 175G5559 is a powerful and intelligent VLT Soft Starter MCD 500 designed to provide smooth and controlled starting and stopping of three-phase AC motors in demanding industrial applications. As part of the advanced Danfoss MCD 500 soft starter series, it delivers reliable motor control, reduced mechanical stress and comprehensive protection features for industrial machinery and automation systems.
The MCD 500 range uses advanced digital soft start technology with current feedback and Adaptive Acceleration Control (AAC) to automatically optimise motor acceleration and stopping profiles. These intelligent features help reduce electrical inrush current, minimise mechanical shock and improve the operational reliability of motor-driven equipment.
With a rated current of 215 A, a 380–690 V AC three-phase supply and an IP00 G2 enclosure design, the Danfoss 175G5559 is suitable for industrial motors requiring dependable soft starting performance. The unit includes an integrated bypass contactor and supports 24 V AC/V DC control voltage for flexible electrical panel integration.
Soft starters such as the Danfoss MCD 500 control motor voltage during startup, reducing high inrush currents and limiting mechanical stress on motors and connected equipment. This enables machinery to accelerate smoothly while improving operational reliability and reducing maintenance requirements.
The Danfoss MCD 500 series provides intelligent motor protection, flexible programming and advanced starting algorithms. These features make the 175G5559 suitable for conveyors, pumps, compressors, fans and industrial automation equipment requiring dependable motor control.
