January 06, 2004 by Jeff Shepard

Danfoss Drives (Loves Park, IL) introduced the MCD 200 Series Soft Starters. The compact soft starters offer advanced heat dissipation, eliminating the need for extra ventilation or bypass connectors while simplifying installation and minimizing panel space requirements. The MCD 200 Series covers the 7.5kW to 110kW (10HP to 150HP) power range.

Add-on modules provide additional capabilities, including serial communication and the ability to remotely control and monitor motor performance. For basic applications, the MCD 201 model offers timing voltage ramp functionality. For more demanding applications, the advanced MCD 202 model provides current limit soft-start, timed voltage ramp down and advanced motor protection.
