Danfoss 175G5511 VLT Soft Starter MCD50216BT5G2X00CV1 soft starter for controlled starting and stopping of industrial three-phase motors with 216 A operational current.
The Danfoss 175G5511 is a high-capacity VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 designed to provide intelligent starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors in demanding industrial applications. With the type code MCD5-0215B-T5-G2X-00-CV1, this advanced digital soft starter delivers precise motor control, integrated bypass technology and comprehensive protection for reliable long-term operation.
The MCD 500 series is engineered to reduce electrical inrush current and mechanical shock during motor start-up and stopping. Its Adaptive Acceleration Control automatically optimises acceleration and deceleration profiles to suit the connected load, helping to extend equipment life while reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
With a 215 A rated operational current, a three-phase 200-525 V AC mains supply and a 24 V AC/DC control supply, the Danfoss 175G5511 is ideal for heavy-duty industrial motors used in pumps, conveyors, compressors, fans, crushers and process machinery. The integrated bypass contactor improves efficiency by reducing heat generation once the motor reaches full operating speed.
The Danfoss MCD 500 soft starter gradually increases and decreases motor voltage during starting and stopping. This significantly reduces inrush current, mechanical shock and torque peaks, helping to protect motors, gearboxes, pumps, conveyors and driven equipment from premature wear.
Its intelligent protection functions monitor overload, phase loss, current imbalance, excessive start time, motor temperature and supply conditions to maximise equipment uptime and ensure dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.
