SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX61B0055-5A3-4-00 | 5.5kW AC Inverter Drive

SEW-Eurodrive MOVIDRIVE B MDX61B0055-5A3-4-00 inverter — 5.5kW, 3-phase 380-500V AC, 8.7kVA output, constant-load rated for industrial use.

Overview

The SEW-Eurodrive MOVIDRIVE B MDX61B0055-5A3-4-00 steps up into the mid-power range of SEW’s MOVIDRIVE B family, delivering 8.7kVA of output power and a rated output current of 12.5A on a standard 3-phase 380–500VAC supply. It’s recommended for 5.5kW motors under constant load, making it a good fit for applications that run continuously rather than in short bursts.

At 105 x 335 x 294mm and 6.6kg, it’s noticeably larger and heavier than the smaller MOVIDRIVE B models in the range (like the 0030 or 0040 variants) — which makes sense given the higher power handling. If you’re standardizing drives across a facility with mixed motor sizes, this model slots in as the step-up option once you move past the 4kW range.
