Danfoss VLT® Compact Starter MCD 202 soft starter – 45 kW, 85A, 3-phase, 200–440VAC, MCD202045T4CV3

Danfoss VLT® Compact Starter MCD 202 – is a compact three-phase motor soft starter designed to reduce starting current peaks, mechanical stress and electrical network load during motor start-up. Model MCD202045T4CV3 is designed for 45 kW motors, has a rated current of 85A, operates with a 200–440VAC supply network and can be controlled by 110/240VAC or 440VAC control voltage.

• In pump systems – water supply, circulation, drainage or industrial pumps.
• In fans and air supply systems – when starting loads need to be reduced.
• In conveyors and transport systems – for smoother start-up of mechanisms.
• In compressors – for reducing motor starting current and mechanical stress.
• In industrial equipment – production lines, technological assemblies and electrical panel systems.

For example, a 45 kW three-phase pump is started through a Danfoss MCD 202 soft starter. Instead of an abrupt start, the device gradually increases the motor voltage, reducing the starting current peak, hydraulic shock in the pipeline and mechanical load on the pump drive.

This solution is especially useful in facilities where motors are started frequently or where the electrical network is sensitive to high starting current peaks.

For electricians: a suitable solution for installing motor control panels, pump stations, ventilation units or industrial equipment when smooth starting of a three-phase motor is required.

For engineers / designers: suitable for designing electric drive systems where it is necessary to limit starting current, reduce mechanical shocks and improve motor start control.

For maintenance specialists: useful when replacing old starting solutions, reducing mechanical stress on contactors, belts, bearings, drives and pumps.

The soft starter is an industrial electric drive control component. Its selection and installation must be carried out according to the motor rated data, load type, electrical network parameters and manufacturer documentation.

• Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician or automation specialist.
• Before work, the electrical supply must be disconnected and the absence of voltage must be checked.
• Rated parameters must not be exceeded – 45 kW, 85A and the specified voltage limits.
• The control voltage must be checked – 110/240VAC or 440VAC according to the specific circuit.
• The starting mode must be evaluated – standard start, heavy-duty start, starting frequency and load type.
• Suitable protection devices must be used – fuses, circuit breakers, contactors and motor protection solutions according to the project.
• Before start-up, the motor nameplate must be checked and compatibility with the soft starter must be verified.
