THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE CHOICE TO

PROTECT MEDIUM-VOLTAGE MOTORS
WEG introduces the new MVW3000 Medium-Voltage Frequency Inverter. With a friendly HMI, following
the same programming concept used in the line of low-voltage inverters, the MVW3000 is perfect for a
wide range of industrial applications that require speed variation, such as compressors, pumps, fans,
conveyor belts and mills.

For new installations or retrofits, the MVW3000 is an efficient and robust solution to control the speed and streamline the
process, in addition to reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.

 www.weg.net

The MVW3000 uses the multilevel technology of source voltage inverters through the Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) topology.
The output almost sinusoidal wave forms produced by the drive allow the application with new or existing synchronous
induction motors without requiring special insulation.

Touch Keyboard
WEG team for SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is able to add special functions to the MVW3000 by means of
software applications exclusively developed for the customer’s application, without requiring external PLCs for its automation, as
the MVW3000 itself can incorporate the PLC function.

WEG touch screen HMI provides the user with full access to graphic operating data in real time, allowing the control and
monitoring of the process variables, verification of the equipment status, generation of variable graphics in local mode (installed
on the front door of the MVW3000) or in remote mode (for example: installed on a command panel).
