Product Description:
The 132H2243 is a soft starter manufactured by Danfoss within the MCD Soft Starters series. Installed between the line supply and a three-phase induction motor, it controls voltage ramps to limit mechanical stress and reduce inrush current during startup. This approach helps reduce belt shock, pressure surges, and sudden torque transfer during motor acceleration. Its control interface allows direct connection to PLC outputs, making the unit suitable for automated pump, fan, and compressor panels.
The power stage is rated for a continuous motor line current of 448 A, giving the starter capacity to energize medium-power motors without exceeding semiconductor limits. Its SCR stack tolerates impulse overvoltages up to 6 kV, while the control board requires only 24 V DC, 8 mA to enable soft-start functions. The enclosure carries an IP00 rating, so it must be installed in a protected cabinet. For applications assessed under NEMA tables, the heavy-duty current capability is 335 A, supporting repeatable starts in high-inertia machinery. Soft-start control can also reduce line disturbances during startup and limit abrupt load changes on connected equipment. Because the unit does not include an internal bypass contactor, an external contactor can be used when continuous full-speed operation is expected to reduce thermal loading.
Mechanical integration follows frame size 2, and the line lugs are tightened to 66 Nm to maintain low-resistance joints. The starter’s insulation system is qualified for networks up to 690 V AC, so it can be wired to 400 V or 575 V three-phase power without modification. Under normal-duty NEMA service, the permissible line current is 354 A, a figure used for enclosure heat calculations after acceleration. A changeover relay rated at 10 A at 250 V AC provides status signaling to control circuits, and a 0–20 mA analog output can drive loads down to 600 Ω for remote monitoring of motor conditions. These signals can be used by supervisory controls for run status and trend monitoring.
