Product Description:
The 132H2235 is a three-phase soft starter produced by Danfoss in the MCD Soft Starters series. Installed between the line supply and an induction motor, it limits inrush current and mechanical stress during ramp-up and ramp-down. By modulating line voltage through its thyristor stack, the unit enables smoother acceleration and deceleration, which can reduce wear on gearboxes, belts, and other driven loads in industrial equipment. That controlled starting method is useful on conveyors, pumps, compressors, and similar machines that benefit from reduced shock at startup and shutdown.
Its maximum continuous motor current is 343 A, so it can serve medium-power motor circuits without requiring oversizing for normal operation. Control electronics accept 24 VAC/VDC, allowing the starter to interface with common control circuits and PLC outputs. This is a non-bypassed model, so the thyristors remain in the current path during the full run period instead of switching to an internal bypass contactor. When connected to a 480 V line, it supports up to 200 hp under heavy-duty starting conditions. Power conductors enter from the bottom and terminate on copper busbars, and the specified tightening torque is 66 Nm. The unit uses frame size 2, which helps keep panel layout consistent with other starters of similar capacity.
The housing is 216 mm wide and 180 mm high, allowing the soft starter to fit in compact control cabinets when proper spacing is provided. An IP00 enclosure means the unit must be installed inside a protected panel, while the open design supports heat dissipation during repeated starts. At 480 V on a normal-duty cycle, the starter supports motors up to 250 hp. Bottom-entry busbars help keep cable routing direct and reduce unnecessary conductor bends inside the enclosure. The compact proportions leave room for cable ducts, protective devices, and ventilation space in the same panel section.
