PowerFlex 7000 Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Drive

Overview

PowerFlex 7000 Medium Voltage (MV) Drives

PowerFlex 7000 medium voltage drives feature advanced power semiconductor technology and a straightforward design with a low component count. This helps increase reliability plus, reduce downtime, maintenance and spare parts costs. 

Delivers nearly perfect output current and voltage waveforms, allowing use of standard motors

Offers Direct-to-Drive  technology, AFE rectifier and 18-pulse rectifier configurations

PowerCage™ inverter and rectifier modules allow SGCT replacement in under 10 minutes

Supports motor cable length up to 30 km (18 mi)

Synchronous transfer system architecture allows one VFD to control multiple motors

Provides power regeneration capabilities without additional hardware. Puts energy back to the utility grid. Regenerative braking eliminates the need for braking resistors.

EtherNet/IP networking communications provide full integration with Logix control platform

Simplify Configuration and Programming with PowerFlex MV Drives

Easy configuration, integration and visualization in the Studio 5000 design environment. The Logix control platform simplifies parameter and tag programming and reduces development time. 

Leverage Connected Components Workbench software for full device profile support, making it easier to configure, program and visualize

More comprehensive and faster troubleshooting with the Forensic Data Recorder

Air-cooled Medium Voltage VFD

150…6000 kW (200…8000 Hp)

Rugged, minimum component count, optimum reliability

Extended Power VFD Configurations

Up to 25,350 kW (34,000 Hp)

Add up to four drive modules in one system—until the drive power matches the application requirements

Suitable for hot back-up applications with control redundancy

Liquid-cooled MV VFD

2240…6340 kW (3000…8500 Hp) 

Drastically reduces control room air conditioning costs, removing 90% of the heat via a heat exchanger

Supports higher elevations and ambient temperatures than air-cooled drives

Liquid-cooled MV VFD for Marine

600…22,370 kW (800…30,000 Hp) 

Liquid-cooled VFDs use Direct-to-Drive technology

Predictive Anytics & Adaptive Control

Discover the features and benefits of PowerFlex medium voltage AC drives. The VDF family is engineered for all-purpose industrial fan, pump and compressor applications up to 120 Hz. Plus, for special purpose mixer, conveyor, marine, crane and hoist applications.

Enhance Functional and Personnel Safety with PowerFlex MV Drives

Our approach to safety improves the operation of your equipment and helps increase safety and productivity. PowerFlex 7000 medium voltage drives offer two options to enhance safety: Safe Torque Off control and ArcShield arc-resistant enclosures. 

Safe Torque Off removes power from the motor without removing power to the VFD, enabling a faster system restart after a safe state is reached. 

Ideal for industrial applications, such as material-handling conveyors and grinding mills

Designed in the drive control, without requiring additional electromechanical components

Achieves requirements for SIL 3, PLe, CAT 3 per IEC 61508 and ISO 13849-1

TÜV Certified

ArcShield technology helps reduce arc flash hazards, personnel and equipment safety risks, and downtime. The PowerFlex 7000 is a 50 kA-rated arc-resistant medium voltage VFD with full  power regeneration capabilities. Plus, it's certified to meet global arc flash resistance standards with Type 2B protection.

Meets heavy industry needs and configurations, 2.4…4.16 kV, rated up to 430 A for synchronous or induction motors

Designed to redirect arc flash energy out the top of the enclosure, away from personnel

Type 2B protection helps improve personnel protection in front, at side or behind enclosure. Type 2B protection is maintained when the low voltage control door is open for maintenance

Patented ventilation technology helps prevent arc flash energy from escaping through air intake and exhaust vents

Four-quadrant operation delivers efficient energy management

ArcShield Technology Improves Personnel and Process Safety

Reduce risk throughout your operations. PowerFlex 7000 medium voltage VFD technologies increase protection of personnel and equipment, reducing the risk of workplace dangers.

PowerFlex 7000 drives offer drive configurations and control options such as Active Front End with Direct-to-Drive technology and high-performance torque control. Plus, with the Safe Torque Off control and ArcShield™ arc-resistant enclosure options, the drive delivers higher performance and enhanced safety for your critical assets.
