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.
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.
Understanding the designation scheme helps confirm system compatibility:
MDX: MOVIDRIVE® Inverter Family
60: Basic non-expandable version (whereas the 61 series supports modular option cards)
A: Version A generation
0220: 22kW recommended motor power rating
5: 3-Phase 380–500V AC supply voltage rating
03: Integrated Class C2 EMC filter
3: 3-Phase input power
4: Four-quadrant operation with built-in brake chopper and regenerative feedback
00: Standard software variant
22kW Power Capacity: Strong output for medium-to-heavy industrial motor drives.
Four-Quadrant Operation: Integrated brake chopper supports regenerative energy handling during braking cycles.
Built-In Class C2 EMC Filter: Suppresses electrical interference without requiring additional external filters.
Clear Thermal Specifications: Documented 750W power loss and 180 m³/h airflow requirement streamline panel thermal planning.
Compact Non-Expandable Design: MDX60 base structure lowers costs for defined, standalone applications.
IP20 Protection Rating: Ideal for standard industrial panel installations.
This drive provides reliable speed regulation across multiple sectors:
Manufacturing Lines: Manages continuous industrial equipment such as mixers, heavy fans, pumps, and conveyors.
Logistics & Warehousing: Powers automated storage hoists and material handling systems.
Precision Process Control: Ideal for tension management in textiles, metal rolling, and printing processes.
Building Automation: Regulates large HVAC blowers, pumps, and lift systems.
