SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX60A0054-5A3-4-00 | 5.5kW Inverter Drive

SEW-Eurodrive MOVIDRIVE MDX60A0054-5A3-4-00 — 5.5kW output, 3-phase 380-500V AC, integrated brake chopper & PID, IP20, forced-air cooling.

Overview

The SEW-Eurodrive MOVIDRIVE MDX60A0054-5A3-4-00 delivers 5.5kW (7.5HP) of rated output power, built for demanding motor control applications that need more than basic speed regulation. It accepts a 3-phase 380–500VAC input and outputs a frequency range of 0–500Hz, with a rated output current of approximately 12.5A — solid capacity for mid-to-heavier industrial loads.

Control-wise, it offers both VFC and CFC modes, letting you choose between general-purpose open-loop control and more precise closed-loop performance depending on what the application calls for. It also comes with an integrated brake chopper and PID controller built in — useful additions that mean you’re not sourcing separate hardware for braking or process control loops. The drive is expandable with optional communication modules, so it can grow into more networked automation setups as needed.

Housed in an IP20 enclosure with temperature-controlled forced ventilation, the unit measures roughly 336 x 130 x 325mm and weighs about 6.6kg — a manageable size for standard control cabinet installation. It’s rated for 0°C to +50°C operation and carries CE, UL, and CSA certifications, covering deployment across multiple regulatory regions.
