Product Description:

The 132H2232 soft starter is produced by Danfoss as part of its MCD Soft Starters series. This solid-state device is installed between the line supply and an induction motor to manage voltage ramp-up and ramp-down, limiting mechanical stress and current peaks during motor starting in industrial automation systems. It achieves this by progressively increasing the motor terminal voltage, which allows smoother starts and reduces electrical disturbance on the supply network. By reducing abrupt torque changes at startup and stop, it can lessen wear on couplings, shafts, and driven equipment.

The starter operates with a control circuit requirement of 24 VAC/VDC, so its logic can be powered from common low-voltage supplies in standard control panels. Its current rating of 275 A indicates the maximum line current it can modulate during motor acceleration, matching medium-power three-phase machines. This makes it suitable where controlled inrush current is preferred over abrupt line connection. Mechanical dimensions correspond to frame size 2, giving the unit a consistent mounting footprint across the series and simplifying cabinet placement. The unit is supplied without an internal bypass contactor, so an external contactor is required when the thyristors are to be bypassed after ramp-up for continuous running. The enclosure carries an IP00 rating, which means it must be installed inside a protected cabinet.

The unit is intended for motors fed by three-phase power, so it integrates into standard industrial distribution networks. Its gross mass of 12.8 kg affects lifting and mounting requirements during cabinet assembly, especially when several devices are installed on the same back panel. Spatial planning is also influenced by a casing volume of 59.4 L, which helps when multiple starters share the same enclosure or when ventilation clearances must be arranged around neighboring equipment. The published mass and volume are useful when checking back-panel loading and available enclosure space before installation. It belongs to the VLT Soft Starter MCD product group.
