Product Description:
The 132H2257 soft starter is manufactured by Danfoss for the MCD Soft Starters series and belongs to the VLT Soft Starter MCD product group. Installed between the mains supply and an AC induction motor, it ramps voltage gradually to reduce mechanical shock and limit inrush current during startup. That controlled acceleration suits conveyors, pumps, and fans that benefit from smoother starts and less disturbance on shared feeder circuits.
The power section is designed for a nominal 480 VAC three-phase supply at 50 to 60 Hz and carries a continuous motor current of 180 A. For temporary overload conditions, the control section withstands 350% for 30 s, which helps a motor break static friction without unnecessary trips. At the stated line voltage, the unit supports ratings up to 150 HP while keeping running losses low after acceleration.
Control wiring uses 120 VAC through an included transformer, so no separate external control supply is required. The enclosure meets NEMA 3R, allowing outdoor mounting where protection from falling rain is needed and conduit entries are properly sealed. An integral, shunt-rated bypass contactor reduces the need for extra components, and a limit of 4 starts per hour defines the standard-duty operating cycle. Upstream protection is satisfied with a 300 A circuit-breaker rating, and the enclosure volume is 371.082 L for panel planning.
