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.

M2L MV VFD Offers Maximum Availability and Minimized Downtime
/in Motor Control Insights /by System AdministratorBenshaw’s M2L Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Drive is engineered for the utmost availability, which is why drive downtime is minimized in case of a failed power cell. The modular design of the inverter allows the operator to follow a few simple steps to replace a failed power cell with a spare power cell and have it back up and running quickly.
