regulations. Additionally, the personnel must be familiar
with the instructions and safety measures described in this
manual.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 contains dangerous voltages
when connected to mains voltage. Only a qualied
electrician should carry out the electrical installation.
Improper installation of the motor or the soft starter can
cause death, serious injury, or equipment failure. Follow
the guidelines in this manual and local electrical safety
codes.
Models MCD5-0360C ~ MCD5-1600C:
Treat the busbar and heat sink as live parts whenever
the unit has mains voltage connected (including when
the soft starter is tripped or waiting for a command).

WARNING

PROPER GROUNDING

Disconnect the soft starter from mains voltage before
carrying out repair work.
It is the responsibility of the person installing the soft
starter to provide proper grounding and branch circuit
protection according to local electrical safety codes.
Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to the

output of the VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500. If static power
factor correction is employed, it must be connected to
the supply side of the soft starter.

WARNING

IMMEDIATE START

In auto-on mode, the motor can be controlled remotely
(via remote inputs) while the soft starter is connected to
mains.
MCD5-0021B ~ MCD5-0961B:
Transportation, mechanical shock, or rough handling
may cause the bypass contactor to latch into the On
state.

To prevent the motor from starting immediately on rst
commissioning or operation after transportation:

Always ensure that the control supply is applied

•

before the power.

Applying control supply before power ensures

•

that the contactor state is initialized.

WARNING

UNINTENDED START

When the soft starter is connected to AC mains, DC
supply, or load sharing, the motor can start at any time.
Unintended start during programming, service, or repair
work can result in death, serious injury, or property
damage. The motor can start with an external switch, a
eldbus command, an input reference signal from the
LCP or LOP, via remote operation using MCD PC
Software, or after a cleared fault condition.

To prevent unintended motor start:

Press [O]/[Reset] on the LCP before

•

programming parameters.

Disconnect the soft starter from mains.

•

Completely wire and assemble the soft starter,

•

motor, and any driven equipment before
connecting the soft starter to AC mains, DC
supply, or load sharing.

Safety

VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500

WARNING

SAFETY OF PERSONNEL

22

The soft starter is not a safety device and does not
provide electrical isolation or disconnection from the
supply.

If isolation is required, the soft starter must be

•

installed with a main contactor.

Do not rely on the start and stop functions for

•

safety of personnel. Faults occurring in the
mains supply, the motor connection, or the
electronics of the soft starter can cause
unintended motor starts or stops.

If faults occur in the electronics of the soft

•

starter, a stopped motor may start. A temporary
fault in the supply mains or loss of motor
connection can also cause a stopped motor to
start.

To provide safety of personnel and equipment, control
the isolation device through an external safety system.

NOTICE

Before changing any parameter settings, save the current
parameter to a le using MCD PC Software or the Save

User Set function.

NOTICE

Use the autostart feature with caution. Read all the notes
related to autostart before operation.

The examples and diagrams in this manual are included
solely for illustrative purposes. The information contained
in this manual is subject to change at any time and
without prior notice. Responsibility or liability is never
accepted for direct, indirect, or consequential damage
resulting from the use or application of this equipment.

VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500

4.1 Control Wiring

4.1.1 Ways to Control the Soft Starter

Control the VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 in 3 ways:

Pressing the keys on the LCP.

44

•

Via remote inputs.

•

Via a serial communication link.

•

The soft starter always responds to a local start or stop
command (via the [Hand On] and [O] keys on the LCP).
Pressing the [Auto On] key selects remote control (the soft
starter accepts commands from the remote inputs). In
remote mode, the Auto On LED is on. In hand-on mode,
the Hand On LED is on if the soft starter starts or runs. The
O LED is on if the soft starter is stopped or stops.

NOTICE

SELV oers protection by way of extra low voltage.
Protection against electric shock is ensured when the
electrical supply itself is of the SELV type and the instal­lation follows local/national regulations on SELV supplies.

NOTICE

Galvanic (ensured) isolation is obtained by fullling
requirements for higher isolation and by providing the
relevant creepages/clearance distances. These
requirements are described in the IEC 61140 standard.
The components that make up the electrical isolation
also comply with the requirements for higher isolation
and the relevant test as described in IEC 61140.

4.1.3 Remote Inputs

4.1.2 Control Terminals

Control terminations use 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG) plug-in
terminal blocks. Dierent models require control voltage to
dierent terminals:

CV1 (24 V AC/V DC): A5, A6.

•

CV2 (110–120 V AC): A5, A6.

•

CV2 (220–240 V AC): A4, A6.

•

The soft starter has 3 xed inputs for remote control.
Control these inputs by contacts rated for low voltage, low
current operation (gold ash or similar).

1 2-wire control

2 3-wire control

3 4-wire control

Illustration 4.2 2-, 3-, and 4-wire Control

Illustration 4.1 Wiring to Control Terminals

The reset input can be normally open or normally closed.

NOTICE

Do not short terminals 05 and 06 without using a
thermistor.

To select the conguration, use parameter 3-8 Remote Reset
Logic.

WARNING

All control terminals and relay terminals comply with SELV
(safety extra low voltage). This protection does not apply
to grounded delta leg above 400 V.

To maintain SELV, all connections made to the control
terminals must be PELV (for example thermistor must be
reinforced/double insulated from motor).

16 Danfoss A/S © 03/2018 All rights reserved. MG17K802

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not apply voltage to the control input terminals.
These terminals are active 24 V DC inputs and must be
controlled with potential-free contacts.

Segregate cables to the control inputs from

VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500

4.3.1 Testing the Installation

4.3.2.2 Non-bypassed

The VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 can be connected to a
small motor for testing. During this test, the control input
and relay output protection settings can be tested. This
test mode is not suitable for testing soft starting or soft
stopping performance.

44

The minimum FLC of the test motor is 2% of the minimum
FLC of the soft starter (see chapter 4.5 Minimum and
Maximum Current Settings).

NOTICE

When testing the soft starter with a small motor, set
parameter 1-1 Motor FLC to the minimum allowable
value.
Models which are internally bypassed do not require an
external bypass contactor.

4.3.2.3 Externally Bypassed

Non-bypassed models have dedicated bypass terminals,
which allow the soft starter to continue providing
protection and monitoring functions even when bypassed
via an external contactor. Connect the bypass contactor to
the bypass terminals and control it by a programmable
output congured to Run (see parameters 4-1 to 4-9).

4.3.3 Inside Delta Installation

NOTICE

When connecting the VLT® Soft Starter MCD 500 in
inside delta conguration, always install a main
contactor or shunt trip circuit breaker.

NOTICE

When connecting in inside delta, enter the motor full
load current (FLC) in parameter 1-1 Motor FLC. The MCD
500 automatically calculates inside delta currents based
on this data. Parameter 15-7 Motor Connection is set to
Auto detect as default and can be set to force the soft
starter in inside delta or in-line.
