WEG MVW01
Variable Speed Drive (VSD)

Efficient, Reliable, Safe Motor Control

for a Wide Range of Industrial Applications
WEG introduces second generation of Medium Voltage Variable Speed Drives MVW01 G2.
Second Generation MVW01 delivers higher power output and higher reliability on existing footprint.
Higher performance is achieved by the use of latest HV IGBTs with larger safe operating area and
higher short circuit capability.

Friendly operator interface, identical to that of Low Voltage VSD product line, presents familiarity and ease of use.

MVW G2 is perfectly suitable for a variety of variable speed industrial applications such as compressors, pumps, fans,
conveyors and grinding mills.

For new installations or revamps, MVW01 G2 offers robust solutions to optimize your process and save significantly on
operating costs.

Advanced thermal studies of WEG R&D team together with one of the most important
semiconductors manufacturer in the market, allowed WEG to develop the first MV VSD
with the latest generation of 6.5 kV IGBTs for general industrial purpose in the world.

Why Should I Choose HV IGBTs Instead of Other Power Devices?

JJ Natural strength against short-circuits and over-currents (other devices need extra power components)

JJ Simplified gate driver circuit (others are much more complex and need electrolytic capacitors)

JJ Simpler for parallel configuration when compared to other power component devices

JJ Module with isolated base (easy and fast servicing)

JJ Positive temperature coefficient for saturation voltages (do not need special snubber circuits)

JJ IGBTs became standard for LV drives now it is the trend in MV drives with multiple manufacturers

MVW01 Main Features

Ride Through
RT The MVW01 VSD is designed and manufactured to take intelligent remedial action to prevent transient supply
faults or overload conditions from tripping the VSD.

Flying Start
FS The MVW01 VSD is capable of restarting and taking control of a motor attached to a spinning load in the
forward or reverse direction.

Auto-Restart Capability
AR The MVW01 VSD is capable of automatically restarting in the event of a momentary loss of power, or a
clearing of a drive trip.

Ground Fault Protection

GF In the event of a ground fault, the MVW01 is capable of annunciating the ground fault condition, safely
operating and, by user selection, either trip or continue operation.

Optimal Pulse Pattern (OPP)

Optimum synchronous PWM control
minimizes voltage harmonics in the
motor circuit and provides the
capability to adjust PWM frequency to
an optimal use at every speed for
every type of application.
OPPTM
Main Benefits of WEG OPP
