Product Description:

The 132H2263 soft starter from Danfoss belongs to the MCD Soft Starters series. It is designed for induction motors up to 150 HP on three-phase mains and delivers controlled voltage ramps that reduce electrical and mechanical stress during startup. In automated plants, the unit sits between motor disconnects and overload relays to provide solid-state acceleration and deceleration that can help extend equipment life.

Its control circuitry requires 120 VAC, allowing direct connection to common panel transformers. The power section is fitted with an internal bypass contactor, so the main thyristors are shunted after ramp-up to reduce heat and continuous losses. The device carries a continuous current rating of 180 A, and its mains terminals accept 480 V AC three-phase input. It is also part of the VLT Soft Starter MCD group, which supports coordination with related Danfoss drive-system accessories.

A NEMA 12 classification gives the starter dust-tight construction with oil-resistant gasketing for most indoor industrial locations. The unit uses an enclosed housing that shields live parts and helps protect internal components in industrial settings during operation. Shipping mass is 104 kg, while installed mass is 84 kg, so lifting plans and structural support should be considered carefully. Internal volume leaves space for cooling paths and safe electrical clearance inside the cabinet.

Wake Industrial stocks this starter and backs each purchase with a 1-year warranty. Same-day shipping is available for orders placed before the daily cutoff. For planning purposes, quotations remain valid for 30 days after they are issued to customers.
