The Danfoss VLT® MCD 100-001 (SKU: 175G4000) is a compact and highly reliable soft starter designed to provide smooth starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors. As part of the proven Danfoss VLT MCD 100 series, it helps reduce mechanical wear, minimise electrical stress and improve the operational life of motors and driven equipment.
Designed for machine builders, panel manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers, the MCD 100-001 offers adjustable ramp-up and ramp-down times together with a compact DIN rail mountable design. The unit provides simple installation, reliable operation and maintenance-free performance for a wide range of industrial applications.
With a 3 A motor current rating, support for 208-240 V AC three-phase motors and a maximum motor power of 0.75 kW (1 HP), the Danfoss MCD 100-001 is ideal for pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors and other light industrial machinery requiring controlled motor starting.
Soft starters gradually increase motor voltage during startup, reducing inrush current and limiting mechanical shock on motors, gearboxes, pumps and driven equipment. This improves equipment reliability while extending service life and reducing maintenance costs.
The Danfoss VLT MCD 100 series is widely used where simple, compact and dependable motor starting is required without the complexity of a variable speed drive.
