Product Description:
The 132H2226 belongs to the MCD Soft Starters series manufactured by Danfoss for use with induction motors in industrial automation. By adjusting the motor's voltage during ramp-up and ramp-down, this electronic starter limits mechanical stress on gearboxes, pumps, and conveyors during acceleration. It also cuts the inrush current that would otherwise load upstream switchgear and transformers during motor starting.
The unit supports motors up to 150 hp when the supply is 480 V AC. Its full-load current capacity is 275 A, and the IEC duty 3.5-15 : 50-6 rating indicates the thermal allowance for short-term starts and stops. Danfoss packages the power section in a frame size 2 housing, allowing panel builders to select matching busbar spacing and cooling clearances. Operation is limited to three-phase power; the starter synchronizes the three output SCR pairs to maintain balanced phase angles. An enclosure classification of IP00 means all live parts require installation inside a protected cabinet, so external finger or drip protection must come from the surrounding panel. No earth conductor is mandated because the design lists the ground connection as not required, simplifying field wiring in retrofit situations.
Power terminations use an M12 bolt, and the recommended tightening level is 66 Nm to keep the copper lugs from loosening under thermal cycling. There is 12.8 kg of mass in the assembly, so vertical mounting surfaces must accommodate that static load. The control scheme relies on external contactors because there is no internal bypass; once run-time current stabilizes, a separate bypass device can be energized to reduce heat in the SCR stack. The product group is VLT Soft Starter MCD, and its terminals are supplied with plain hardware; users must provide any optional protective shrouds or insulated boots required by local codes.
