Product Description:
The 132H8444 is a soft starter from Danfoss for the MCD Soft Starters series. It reduces inrush current during motor ramp-up and ramp-down by controlling applied voltage instead of allowing a full across-the-line start. That approach helps limit mechanical shock in conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors, and automation equipment driven by large AC motors, especially where smoother starts reduce belt slip, pipe hammer, and coupling wear.
An internal bypass contactor transfers running current away from the thyristors after acceleration, lowering internal heat in operation. Control circuits operate from 120 VAC, allowing direct connection to panel transformers. The power section is rated for 361 A across each phase. That current capacity supports motors up to 300 HP with reduced-current starting. It also reduces thermal stress on the semiconductors after the motor reaches speed.
The enclosure carries a NEMA 3R rating, so the unit can be used outdoors where falling rain or light splashing may occur. It accepts 480 VAC incoming mains and switches three-phase power for standard motor service. A standard duty cycle makes it suitable for normal starting loads rather than severe high-inertia conditions. The fully enclosed cabinet also helps reduce airborne debris exposure.
Wake Industrial stocks this soft starter and offers same-day shipping on qualifying orders for urgent production recovery needs. Each purchase includes a 1-year warranty.
