PowerFlex 6000T Medium Voltage Drive (VFD)

Overview

The Right Medium Voltage Drive for Your Facility

From industrial manufacturing plants to oil rigs in remote locations, PowerFlex VFDs are trusted for demanding applications by many of the world’s biggest companies.

And the smart PowerFlex 6000T medium voltage VFD not only helps keep production running, but the drive also helps predict downtime before it happens.

Medium Voltage Drive Benefits

PowerFlex 6000T VFDs provide precise speed, direction and torque control.  The medium voltage drive offers built-in EtherNet/IP and supports common communication protocols. Standardized VFD technology reduces complex system integration, operations and maintenance.

• Multiple control modes include flux vector control with up to 150% starting torque with an encoder and 100% without an encoder

• Reduce peak demand charges by operating near unity power factor throughout the speed range

• An integrally mounted, multi-pulse isolation transformer helps achieve low line side harmonics and high input power factor

• Multi-motor control like load sharing and sync-transfer control enables one PowerFlex MV VFD to control up to 10 motors

• The RealSine™ solution significantly reduces input harmonics. Reducing harmonic distortion helps improve system efficiency, reduce energy costs and minimize power distribution issues on the factory floor

• Providing real-time intelligence and predictive analytics, TotalFORCE technology helps reduce downtime by seeing problems before they happen
