Product Description:

The 136G7356 is a soft-starter module produced by Danfoss for the MCD Soft Starters series in the VLT portfolio. It reduces inrush current and mechanical shock by ramping motor voltage during startup. That operating profile makes it suitable for three-phase motors used on conveyors, pumps, and compressors.

An integrated bypass contactor closes after ramp-up, which cuts continuous semiconductor losses and lowers heat inside the assembly. This also improves efficiency once the motor reaches full speed and reduces cabinet heating during steady operation. Control logic uses a 24 VAC/VDC supply, so the unit can be tied to common auxiliary power in industrial panels. The power stage is rated for 20 A, giving the soft starter capacity for small to medium motor loads under normal operating conditions.

An IP20 enclosure provides finger-safe protection, although the unit still belongs inside a suitable cabinet. The main terminals accept 380–690 V AC, which supports common international line voltages in process and manufacturing plants. That range supports both 400 V and 575 V systems without derating. The compact housing uses Frame size 1, allowing the controller to fit control panels where available space is limited.

A shipping weight of 4.8 kg eases handling during panel work and reduces strain when positioning the unit. Internal construction occupies 17.589 L, leaving room for adjacent protection and control components in crowded enclosures. Wake Industrial can arrange same-day shipping, keeps quotations valid for 30 days, and provides the chat tool available on the website for questions about type codes or fault indications.
