SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX60A0030-5A3-4-00 | 3kW 4Q Inverter

SEW-Eurodrive MOVIDRIVE MDX60A0030-5A3-4-00 — 3kW power unit, 3-phase 380-500VAC, built-in braking chopper, Class A EMC filter, IP20.

Overview

The SEW-Eurodrive MOVIDRIVE MDX60A0030-5A3-4-00 is a 3.0kW power unit from the standard MOVIDRIVE 60A series, built for applications that need both solid drive performance and clean electromagnetic compatibility straight out of the box. Unlike models that require an external EMC filter, this unit has a Class A filter integrated, meeting EN 61800-3 and simplifying installation in noise-sensitive panel environments.

It runs on a 3-phase 380–500VAC input (drawing 6.3A) and delivers a rated output current of 7.0A at 400V, with an output capacity of 5.2kVA. A built-in braking chopper enables full 4-quadrant operation — meaning it can actively brake and dissipate energy without needing a separate external braking unit, which is a real space and cost saver on machines with frequent stop/start or overhauling loads.

Two control modes are available depending on the job: VFC (voltage/frequency control) for general-purpose use, and CFC (current flux vector control) for closed-loop applications demanding higher precision. Switching frequency is adjustable up to 16kHz, and the drive tolerates overloads of 150% for 60 seconds or 200% for 3 seconds — useful headroom for machines with variable or spiking loads.
