Product Description:

The 136G8779 is a VLT® Soft Starter designed by Danfoss to function as a total motor starting solution. It integrates Adaptive Acceleration Control (AAC) to provide smooth, dependable transitions from idle to full speed. This helps to reduce the strain on both the motor and the driven equipment. By ensuring stable starts and stops, the starter helps to extend equipment service life, improve process reliability and reduce downtime. This makes it well-suited for applications such as pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors. This starter comes with an internal bypass contactor that automatically engages once the motor reaches full speed.

The 136G8779 starter is rated for a current of 194 A, meaning it can reliably handle motors with high electrical demand during starting and running conditions. This high current capacity makes the soft starter suitable for medium to large industrial motors, ensuring dependable performance even under heavy load applications. It is designed to deliver a rated power output of 60 to 75 horsepower when connected to a 230 VAC supply, and 125 to 150 horsepower when connected to a 480 VAC supply. This flexibility allows the starter to support a wide range of motor sizes across different voltage levels. The soft starter ensures efficient operation of larger motors while maintaining reliable performance at lower voltages for smaller installations.

The 136G8779 is built in frame size 2, providing a compact physical footprint that makes it easier to integrate into control panels. Its classification as IP00 indicates that the device is not equipped with additional protective housing against contact or environmental factors. This requires it to be installed within a suitably designed cabinet that offers the required protection. Users can design custom protection and cooling arrangements based on their specific setup, allowing versatile integration into diverse environments.
