VLT Compact Starter MCD 201 and MCD 202

VLT Compact Starter MCD 201 and MCD 202

logo-danfossTwo series of soft starters that provide a total motor starting solution for motors up to 110 kW. The MCD 201 offers efficient motor-starting features, while the extended MCD 202 version provides enhanced soft-start functionality and additional motor-protection features.

The series of soft starters offer easy DIN rail mounting for sizes up to 30 kW, 2-wire or 3-wire start/stop control and excellent starting duty (4 x le for 6 seconds; heavy starting ratings at 4 x le for 20 seconds). They are compatible with grounded delta power systems.

VLT Compact Starter MCD 201 and MCD 202

Supply voltages and power range

3 x 200-575 V…7.5-110 kW (200 A)
24 V AC or DC/110-440 V AC

Features and benefits

Easy connectivity for the soft starter to EtherNet/IP-based networks, such as Rockwell PLC systemsPanel space can be saved due to the compact sizeInstallation costs are minimized and power loss eliminated thanks to the built-in bypassMore starts per hour and a higher load is possible as a result of advanced SCR Control Algorithms that balance output waveformOverall project investment is reduced due to essential motor protectionsNo external cooling or oversizing is necessary thanks to the maximum ambient temperature of 50°C without derating.

Applications

Pumps, conveyors, fans, mixers and compressors.

VLT Soft Start Controller MCD 100
logo-danfossAn extremely cost-effective and compact soft starter that provides basic soft start and stop functionality and easy DIN rail mounting. The ‘fit and forget’ semiconductor design simplifies installation and reduces required panel space, and selection can be made on the basis of the motor power. Timed voltage ramp up and down are possible. Ramp time can be individually and accurately adjusted with rotary switches from 0.4–10 seconds, and starting torque can be adjusted from 0–85% of the direct on-line torque.
