CI-tronic™ Soft starters
Type MCI 12CH/15CH/25CH
The MCI CH soft starters are designed for
starting/stopping of hermetic compressors for
residential pumps, refrigeration and A/C units.
The soft start ramp-up time is fixed to ensure
lubrication and optimal start current reduction.
Features • Control voltage 208-240 V AC
• Automatic detection of missing phases
• LED Status indication
• Automatic adaptation to 50/60 Hz
• Easy and quick installation
• Built in varistor protection
• IP 20 protection
• Compact modular design
• DIN rail mountable
• Ramp-up time max 0.2 s (factory set-up)
• EN 60947-4-2
