Danfoss VLT Soft Starter MCD 500 MCD50360CT5G4X

Why Choose the Danfoss 175G5513 Soft Starter?

The Danfoss 175G5513 is a high-performance VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 engineered to deliver intelligent starting and stopping of large three-phase induction motors in demanding industrial environments. Identified by the type code MCD5-0360C-T5-G4X-00-CV1, this advanced digital soft starter combines adaptive motor control, integrated bypass technology and comprehensive protection to maximise equipment reliability and operational efficiency.

Designed for heavy industrial applications, the MCD 500 series significantly reduces electrical inrush current and mechanical shock during motor acceleration and deceleration. Adaptive Acceleration Control automatically adjusts the start and stop profile to match the connected load, helping extend the service life of motors, gearboxes, pumps and driven equipment while reducing maintenance costs.

With a 360 A rated operational current, a three-phase 200-525 V AC mains supply and a 24 V AC/DC control supply, the Danfoss 175G5513 is ideal for large pumps, compressors, conveyors, crushers, fans and other heavy-duty industrial machinery. Its integrated bypass contactor improves efficiency by reducing heat generation and power losses once the motor reaches full operating speed.
