MVH2 Series Medium Voltage Full Featured Drives
2.3 - 4.16kV up to 205A (1500HP)
Full-Size Drive Performance, Small Footprint Design
Benshaw MVH2 Series Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Drives utilize H-Bridge multi-level and overlapping wave technology for low harmonic content and a nearly perfect sine wave output. Full-size performance … in a compact design!
The latest in phase-locked loop technology is used to adjust drive output … providing an ideal solution for soft start, speed control, energy savings and intelligent control of any MV induction or synchronous motor. Offering the performance of a full-size standard drive in a small footprint layout, MVH2 Series drives are ideal for retrofit projects or any installation with space constraints.
