Danfoss 175G5575 VLT Soft Starter MCD 500 with 72 A current rating, integrated bypass and three-phase 380-690 V AC operation for industrial motor control applications.
The Danfoss 175G5575 is an advanced VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 designed for reliable and controlled starting and stopping of three-phase motors in industrial automation, machinery and heavy-duty applications. As part of the Danfoss MCD 500 soft starter family, it provides intelligent motor control solutions that help reduce mechanical stress, limit starting current and improve system performance.
This digital soft starter combines advanced control technology with integrated motor protection features to deliver smooth acceleration and deceleration of industrial motors. The MCD 500 series uses Adaptive Acceleration Control (AAC) to automatically optimise motor starting and stopping profiles, helping improve operational efficiency and equipment reliability.
With a rated current of 68 A and support for three-phase 380–690 V AC supplies, the Danfoss 175G5575 is suitable for a wide range of industrial motor applications including pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors and processing equipment. Its compact IP20 enclosure and internal bypass contactor make it ideal for panel-mounted installations where space and efficiency are important.
Soft starters such as the Danfoss VLT® MCD 500 control the voltage supplied to electric motors during startup and shutdown. This reduces mechanical shock, minimises electrical stress and helps extend the service life of motors and connected machinery.
The MCD 500 range is designed for demanding industrial environments where reliable motor operation and advanced protection are required. With intelligent control functions, flexible configuration and integrated monitoring capabilities, the 175G5575 provides dependable motor management for modern automation systems.
