Product Description:

The 175G5300 is a soft-starter module produced by Danfoss for the MCD Soft Starters series. Installed between the mains and an induction motor, it ramps voltage smoothly to reduce mechanical stress and inrush current during startup. That behavior suits conveyors, pumps, and fans where direct-on-line starting would otherwise strain couplings, belts, or the incoming supply.

The starter can deliver a continuous motor line current of 48 A, which suits moderate load demands during acceleration. A connected motor may be rated up to 22 kW, making the unit suitable for medium-power industrial drives used on compressors, mixers, and process fans. It is designed for three-phase power and accepts 200-440 VAC on the line side for broad plant compatibility. The control circuit uses a separate 110/240 VAC supply, which helps keep logic operation stable when the motor circuit is disturbed by switching events.

During the first line cycles, the control bypass limits magnetizing surge to 10 A, helping prevent nuisance breaker trips during restarts. The assembly has a net weight of 2.2 kg, so it adds little cabinet load in compact panels or wall-mounted boxes. Its total volume is 12.896 L, which supports dense layouts and leaves room for contactors or protective devices nearby.

Wake Industrial stocks this starter and can arrange same-day shipping for urgent maintenance orders. Quotations remain valid for 30 days, which gives purchasing teams time to complete internal approval steps promptly. Ready availability helps shorten downtime during unplanned equipment outages when a failed starter must be replaced quickly.
