MVW01 – Medium Voltage Drive
The MVW01 G4 (IoT Ready), WEG’s medium-voltage frequency inverter, was designed to meet the demands of electric motor control in applications with power up to 55,520 HP and voltages up to 6.9 kV. Featuring cutting-edge technology with high-voltage IGBTs, it uses NPC and HNPC topologies, along with flexible air and water cooling systems. It ensures high operational safety with protections against electrical arcs and an optional arc-resistant enclosure.
Equipped with a 10-inch touchscreen HMI interface, the MVW01 G4 offers seamless interaction for programming and real-time monitoring. Connectivity with major communication protocols, including EtherNet/IP, Profinet, Modbus-TCP, and MQTT, is supported. Additionally, it integrates directly and securely with the WEG Motion Fleet Management platform, providing intelligent asset management and predictive maintenance.
Rigorously tested in WEG laboratories and compliant with safety and efficiency standards, the MVW01 G4 ensures high reliability for critical high-power applications. A symbol of efficiency, robustness, and safety, it meets the needs of various industries, promoting energy savings, reducing operational costs, and reinforcing WEG’s commitment to sustainability.
