The Danfoss 175G5218, also identified as MCD202090T4CV3, is a heavy-duty soft starter from the Danfoss VLT® MCD 202 series. Designed for the controlled starting and stopping of large three-phase induction motors, it reduces electrical inrush current and mechanical stress, helping to maximise equipment reliability while extending the service life of motors and driven machinery.
The VLT® MCD 202 series incorporates an integrated bypass contactor together with advanced motor protection features, eliminating the need for an external bypass contactor while reducing heat generation and improving operating efficiency. Its robust C-frame construction is ideally suited to demanding industrial environments where dependable motor control is essential.
With a 90 kW motor rating, 170 A operational current and compatibility with three-phase 200-440 V AC supplies, the Danfoss 175G5218 provides reliable motor starting for pumps, compressors, conveyors, crushers, fans and heavy industrial process equipment.
Soft starters gradually increase the voltage supplied to an electric motor during start-up, reducing current surges and minimising mechanical shock. This controlled acceleration protects motors, gearboxes, couplings and driven equipment while improving operational reliability and reducing maintenance requirements.
The Danfoss VLT® MCD 202 range combines compact installation, integrated motor protection and dependable performance, making it ideal for industrial automation systems requiring efficient and reliable motor starting.
