Danfoss 175G5526 VLT Soft Starter MCD 500 with 37 A current rating, integrated bypass and three-phase 200-525 V AC operation for industrial motor control applications.
£1,003.32
The Danfoss 175G5526 is a compact VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 designed to deliver smooth, controlled starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. Identified by the type code MCD5-0037B-T5-G1X-20-CV2, this model features a 110-120 V AC / 220-240 V AC control supply, making it ideal for installations requiring an alternative control voltage configuration.
The MCD 500 series reduces electrical inrush current and mechanical shock during motor acceleration and deceleration, helping extend the life of motors, pumps, conveyors, compressors and other driven equipment. Adaptive Acceleration Control automatically adjusts the starting profile to suit the connected application, improving reliability while reducing maintenance costs.
With a 37 A rated operational current, a three-phase 200-525 V AC mains supply and a 110-120 V AC or 220-240 V AC control supply, the Danfoss 175G5526 is suitable for industrial pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and general process machinery. Its integrated bypass contactor reduces heat generation and improves operating efficiency once the motor reaches full speed.
The Danfoss MCD 500 gradually controls the voltage supplied to the motor during acceleration and deceleration. This reduces starting current, torque shock and mechanical wear, helping improve equipment reliability while extending the service life of motors and connected machinery.
Integrated protection functions monitor overload, phase imbalance, phase loss, excessive start time and motor temperature, helping maximise system uptime across industrial automation applications.
