A Decentralized solution brings independence for all applications. The MW500 covers power levels from 1.1 to 7.5 kW (1.5 to 10 HP).

Versatile: The MW500 is an inverter with IP66 rating and special mounting characteristics for environments that require high degree of protection. It offers VVW vector or V/F scalar control and can be vertically mounted in electrical panels or mounting surface.

Characteristics

  • Single phase power supply (200-240 V) or three-phase power supply (380-480 V);
  • Rated current: up to 16 A (10 cv);
  • VVW vector or V/F scalar control;
  • SoftPLC – adds the functionalities of a PLC to the MW500;
  • Economy of space and electrical installation;
  • Low harmonic distortion – compliance with IEC 61000-3-12 standard;
  • Aluminum frame;
  • NEMA 4X/IP66 protection degree;
  • It can be coupled to the WEG W22 motor line, or mounted in electric panels or surfaces;
  • Dedicated potentiometer for speed reference;
  • Dedicated PTC;
  • Operating temperature: 0º to 40ºC;
  • Switch-disconnector (optional);
  • Operation indicator LED;
  • Compatible with the main accessories of the CFW500 family;
