8000HP Variable Frequency Drive from WEG Electric

April 2, 2010 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Atlanta, Ga. – WEG Electric announces the release of the 8000HP MVW-01 medium voltage variable frequency drive. The 8,000 horsepower VFD is the largest ever manufactured by WEG Electric and doubles the horsepower available from the MVW01 drive. The MVW-01 features 99% efficiency and a 22-year mean time between failure (MTBF), the highest available in the market.

Drive specifications include a voltage of 4160V, current of 1086A ND, 950A HD, and a frequency range from 0 to 100Hz.

The MVW-01 is ideal for high-demand applications, such as mining, cement, shipping, iron metallurgy, and petro-chemical. Technologically advanced components, such as HV-IGBTs, are incorporated into the drive for maximum reliability.
