Product catalog summary
Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Drive Overview
Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Drives (MV VFDs) are designed to enhance efficiency, control accuracy, and operational flexibility in industrial applications. They offer significant cost savings compared to fixed-speed operations and low voltage drives, making them suitable for both standalone and complex system solutions.
Key Features of MV6 VFD
The MV6 series by GE is characterized by high power density, robustness, fault tolerance, and superior power quality. It employs GE's patented multi-level nested neutral-point-pilot (NPP) technology, supporting voltage ranges from 2.3 kV to 6.9 kV and power from 350kW to 10 MW. The drive can be configured in various ways, including diode front end (DFE) and active front end (AFE) configurations, and is certified to multiple international standards.
Innovative Technology
The MV6 utilizes GE's nested NPP technology, which provides a common DC link for improved power density and easier grounding. This technology is scalable and adaptable to different configurations and voltage levels.
System Integration and Safety
The MV6 design emphasizes safety with arc-resistant features and a user-friendly interface. It integrates easily with prefabricated e-Houses and offers remote monitoring through Visor Connect, ensuring real-time support and reduced downtime.
Versatile Configurations
The MV6 offers configurations like DFE with a 36-pulse transformer for high power quality and AFE for four-quadrant operations. The transformerless AFE option provides the highest power density and efficiency, reducing footprint and HVAC requirements.
Customer Benefits
Benefits include quick installation, high availability, and low lifecycle costs. The MV6's modular design and high efficiency reduce maintenance needs and operational costs. It supports features like auto-restart and independent acceleration/deceleration ramps.
Drive Options and Specifications
The MV6 series offers various models with different power ratings and configurations to suit diverse applications. Options include input/output disconnect switches, sine filters, and redundancy features.
Conclusion
The MV6 Medium Voltage Drive by GE is a versatile, efficient, and reliable solution for various industrial applications, offering significant operational and cost benefits.
Specifications
The VFDs are available with output power ranging from 160 kW to 3150 kW, with options up to 6500 kW. They support output voltages of 2.3, 3.3, 4.16, 6, 6.6, and 6.9 kV, and output frequencies from 0 to 75 Hz. Input voltages vary between DFE and AFE models, with input frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The drives offer high efficiency (96.5% for DFE and 97.5% for AFE) and comply with IEEE 519 standards for input harmonics.
Control and Protection
The VFDs feature advanced control modes, including V/Hz and vector control, with both sensor and sensor-less options. They provide robust protective functions against overcurrent, overvoltage, and other faults. Communication interfaces include Modbus and TCP, with optional fieldbus protocols.
Environment and Standards
The drives are housed in IP31 enclosures, suitable for ambient temperatures up to 40º C and elevations up to 1,000 m. They meet various international standards, including IEC, UL, and CSA.
Service and Support
GE offers comprehensive global support with 24/7 availability, rapid mobilization of engineers, and a range of services including maintenance, training, and system upgrades. The Visor Connect system provides remote diagnostic support via secure satellite communications.
Contact Information
The document lists contact details for GE's main offices worldwide, ensuring easy access to support and services.
