Product Description:
The 132H2248 soft starter is manufactured by Danfoss and belongs to the MCD Soft Starters series. This electronic control unit is inserted between the mains supply and an AC induction motor to apply a controlled voltage ramp during startup and soft stop. By limiting inrush current, it reduces mechanical shock on couplings while easing the electrical demand on feeders and transformers. The controlled ramp also helps reduce abrupt torque changes that can disturb belts, pumps, and fan systems during motor engagement. It can also reduce nuisance voltage dips during motor startup in shared power systems. Such functionality is commonly used in conveyor sections, centrifugal pumps, and HVAC fan arrays where frequent starts must occur without stressing the drive train or the facility power network.
The main power stage is rated for motor currents up to 448 A, which is the largest continuous load the silicon-controlled rectifier stack can sustain without derating. A control input of 24 VAC/VDC lets the starter accept either industrial low-voltage AC or floating DC signals from relays or PLC outputs. Hardware is packaged in Frame Size 2, which sets the mounting footprint and terminal pitch to a standardized pattern for panel layout. The open-chassis IP00 housing requires installation inside a protected enclosure. Operating on three-phase power, the unit synchronizes phase firing angles to keep torque symmetrical during acceleration. Because no internal bypass is fitted, an external run contactor must be added. A shipping mass of 16.3 kg is useful when selecting cabinet supports and lifting arrangements.
Within the cabinet, the starter occupies 59.4 L of space, which is useful when arranging ventilation ducts and adjacent control gear. After removal of packing materials, its net weight is 15.5 kg, which supports cabinet mounting and heavy-gauge conductor routing without adding unnecessary bulk. This format suits motor control sections where large cable terminations and clear airflow paths must coexist in the same enclosure. The unit is classified in the VLT Soft Starter MCD product group.
