Description​

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.

Main Reasons to Use the MVW01​

  • Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) featuring NPC topology;
  • Latest generation of power semiconductors that allow a durable replacement market;
  • Air or water cooling system;
  • State-of-art MV-Drives Technology;
  • High reliability due to proven design and low number power components;
  • Efficiency higher than 98,5% (low losses and high power factor in all speed range);
  • Customized lineup design (integrated or external transformer, back-to-back configuration, AFE input)
  • External transformer ensure optimized project layout that allows to reduce the size of the electrical room (lower costs with civil works and with the HVAC system);
  • High robustness against short circuit and overcurrent for MV motor;
  • Choose the water-cooled version for aggressive environments with high temperatures, high concentration of contaminating particles or where air conditioning is not a viable option.

Applications​

  • Mining: Slurry pumps, conveyors, crushers and mill;
  • Cement: Kiln and baghouse fans, cooler exhaust, forced draft and induced draft fans, crushed and mills;
  • Plastic & Rubber: Banbury mixers;
  • Infrastructure: Pumps, compressors;
  • Marine: Propulsion, thrusters, off-loads pumps;
  • Sugar & Ethanol: Sugarcane mills, fans, blowers, centrifuges.

Connectivity​

The MVW3000 G4 is an IoT Ready product with MQTT protocol and other the most used network communication protocols: Modbus-RTU, Modbus-TCP, EtherNet/IP incorporated into the product from its most basic version.

Through the MQTT protocol, it is possible to access the asset management software WEG Motion Fleet Management 1) in a simplified way, developed to bring more practicality and agility in the operation, maintenance and management of equipment and assets. Based on cloud computing technology, the monitoring of multiple assets can be monitored at any time and from anywhere in the world, observing the most important aspects of cybersecurity.
