Our PowerFlex® 6000 Medium Voltage AC Drives allow for flexibility in a variety of applications. They are suited for new and retrofit, variable torque, and constant torque applications. Some of these applications include fans, pumps and compressors that require variable speed motor control from 2.3...11 kV. These drives are available in multiple configurations based on motor voltage and regional requirements.
What's New?
Compact A-Frame VFD Nearly Doubles Input Voltage Capacity
The footprint of the new PowerFlex® 6000T A-Frame drive is nearly 50% smaller than before. And now, the input voltage capacity is nearly double.
The breakthrough PowerFlex VFD accepts up to 13.8 kV primary voltage in a footprint that is only 2310...3010 mm (7.58...9.87 feet) wide. The drive can be applied to 3…4.16 kV applications with high voltage input built in.
The high-voltage feeds can be directly connected to the drive from the main distribution line, eliminating step-down transformer or substation equipment – reducing cost. The compact design is ideal for new and retrofit applications in IEC markets where industrial space is a premium – specifically for high-voltage primary installations.
The VFD features TotalFORCE® technology. With real-time operational intelligence, this industrial control system:
- Monitors system performance
- Delivers faster commissioning with adaptive control
- Saves energy with economizer mode
- Reduces downtime and repair costs with predictive maintenance alerts
PowerFlex 6000T drives manage motor control for demanding applications in heavy industries – oil and gas refining; mining, mineral and metal processing; power generation; and water and wastewater treatment.
