Evidence boundary

PLSwiss identifies MCD3132-T5-C21-CV4 as a Danfoss MCD 3000 soft starter rated at 132 kW.

The Danfoss MCD3000 manual documents current-limit and ramp starting, torque control, soft stop, pump control, DC brake, motor protection, and RS-485 communications.

System inference: At system level, this unit is the motor-start controller between the incoming supply and the motor. This placement is an inference from the cited facts.

Unknown: installation compatibility, motor protection settings, and current commercial status require separate evidence.

System role

This section explains what the product does and where it acts in the surrounding system.

Function: Regulates motor current and torque during starting and stopping as a soft starter.
System position: Sits between the three-phase supply and the motor in the starter path.
Upstream / inputs: Receives three-phase supply and starter control commands.
Downstream / outputs: Delivers a controlled voltage and current ramp to the motor.
Limitations: Unknown: installation compatibility, motor protection settings, and current commercial status require separate evidence.
