SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX60A0220-503-4-00 | 22kW AC Inverter Drive

In high-demand manufacturing and logistics systems, finding a standalone drive that delivers steady power without unnecessary option-card overhead is essential for cost management. The SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX60A0220 503 4 00 is a 22kW base-version AC inverter drive engineered to provide reliable performance in standalone industrial motor installations.

Built with integrated regenerative feedback capabilities and Class C2 EMC filtering, this drive delivers exact motor control across diverse indoor panel setups.

Overview of SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX60A0220 503 4 00

The SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX60A0220 503 4 00 is an AC inverter drive that operates on a standard 3-phase 380–500V AC input (50–60Hz) with a rated input current of 41.4A. It delivers a continuous output current of 46A, making it a strong choice for 22kW motor applications.

With a physical weight of 15 kg and an IP20 rating, this unit is well-suited for indoor electrical control enclosures. For control cabinet design, it generates a documented thermal power loss of 750W at nominal power ($P_N$) and requires a forced cooling airflow rate of 180 m³/h (108 ft³/min).

As part of the MOVIDRIVE® MDX60 series, this is a non-expandable base version drive, ideal for well-defined operational tasks where option-card expansion is not required.
