Product Description:
The 132H2261 soft starter is manufactured by Danfoss as part of the MCD Soft Starters series. It is installed between the power supply and an induction motor to manage the voltage ramp during starting and stopping, minimizing mechanical stress and line disturbances in industrial automation. By reducing sudden torque changes, it can help limit belt slip, water hammer, and coupling wear during acceleration. The unit is delivered in an enclosed assembly suitable for panel or wall mounting within process equipment.
This model operates on a control circuit of 120 VAC, allowing direct interfacing with common facility control transformers. The main power terminals are rated for 65 A of continuous line current, so motors drawing up to that value can be started without exceeding the silicon controlled rectifier limits. An enclosure rating of NEMA 12 protects the electronics against dust and dripping liquids, which supports use in general factory environments. The primary supply is specified for 480 V AC three-phase networks, and the internal thyristor arrangement passes this voltage to the load after a programmed ramp. Connection is intended for systems that provide three-phase power, helping maintain balanced torque during acceleration. This arrangement allows the motor to come up to speed with less electrical and mechanical shock than across-the-line starting.
The starter is designed for motors up to 50 HP, matching the thermal capacity of its power section to typical fan, pump, and conveyor drives. Its heavy-duty rating permits repeated starts per hour without derating, which suits applications with frequent cycling. After the acceleration period, an internal bypass contactor automatically shorts the power semiconductors, reducing heat loss and improving efficiency during steady-state running. The control algorithm and protective curves correspond to the 600 range within the MCD Soft Starters series, adding programmable kick-start, phase loss detection, and adjustable current limit features. The enclosed construction maintains consistent airflow paths, so additional cabinet ventilation is not necessary. Protective functions can stop the unit when abnormal supply or motor conditions are detected.
