Benshaw’s state-of-the-art M2L (Modular Multi-Level) Medium Voltage Drive family differs radically from other multi-level systems in the market today. The drive consists of three independent components: A standard multi-pulse phase-shifting transformer, a standard multi-pulse diode-based rectifier, and a modular power-cell-based multi-level inverter. This modular system arrangement creates tremendous installation flexibility, greatly reduces arc flash energy and substantially improves reliability.
