VLT® Soft Starter MCD 100, MCD 201, MCD 202, MCD 500 MAKING MODERN LIVING POSSIBLE

2 Soft starts Protect gear, goods, equipment and environment An AC motor switched directly on to the mains power supply will struggle to reach its nominal speed as quickly as possible. This draws maximum current from the power supply and accelerates the application with its maximum torque. Depending on the application, this can cause different problems. Applications like pumps, conveyers, centrifuges and bandsaws must be started slowly, and sometimes stopped slowly, to prevent mechanical shocks such as water hammer, and strains on bands, couplings and shafts. Principle of Phase Angle Control...

3 VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 AAC, the Adaptive Acceleration Control automatically employs the best starting and stopping profi le for the application. Adaptive Acceleration Control means that for each start and stop, the soft starter compares and adapts the process to the chosen profi le best suited to the application. The VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 has a four-line graphical display and a logic keypad making programming easy. Advanced setup is possible displaying operational status.
