Compact soft starter VLT® MCD 200 series

motorsemiconductor24V DC

Compact but powerful soft starters Two series of soft starters that provide a total motor starting solution for motors up to 110 kW. The MCD 201 offers efficient motor-starting features, while the extended MCD 202 version provides enhanced soft-start functionality and additional motor-protection features. The series of soft starters offer easy DIN rail mounting for sizes up to 30 kW, 2-wire or 3-wire start/stop control and excellent starting duty (4 x le for 6 seconds; heavy starting ratings at 4 x le for 20 seconds). They are compatible with grounded delta power systems. Supply voltages and power range • 3 x 200-575 V...7.5-110 kW (200 A) • 24 V AC or DC/110-440 V AC Features and benefits • Easy connectivity for the soft starter to Ethernet/IP-based networks, such as Rockwell PLC systems • Panel space can be saved due to the compact size • Installation costs are minimized and power loss eliminated thanks to the built-in bypass • More starts per hour and a higher load is possible as a result of advanced SCR Control Algorithms that balance output waveform • Overall project investment is reduced due to essential motor protections • No external cooling or oversizing is necessary thanks to the maximum ambient temperature of 50°C without derating
