Why Choose the Danfoss VLT MCD 201 Compact Soft Starter?

The Danfoss VLT® MCD 201 (SKU: 175G5190) is a compact and highly reliable soft starter designed to provide smooth starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors. As part of the trusted Danfoss VLT MCD 200 series, it reduces mechanical wear, limits inrush current and extends the service life of motors and driven equipment. Featuring an integrated bypass contactor, the MCD 201 delivers efficient operation with reduced heat generation after motor start-up.

Designed for machine builders, panel manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers, the MCD 201 combines advanced motor protection with a compact enclosure. The integrated bypass contactor eliminates the need for an external bypass in many applications, helping reduce installation costs while saving valuable control panel space.

With a 48 A rated operational current, support for three-phase 200-575 V AC motors and a maximum motor power of 22 kW, the Danfoss MCD 201 is ideal for pumps, compressors, conveyors, fans and general industrial machinery requiring dependable soft motor starting.
