Advantages of a medium voltage variable
frequency system
MV7000 — Enhanced technology
Reliability & availability
The higher reliability and lower
maintenance needs of a variable
speed drive system compared to
gearboxes and hydraulic couplings
result in lower lifecycle cost.
Saving energy, caring for
the environment
In today’s world more than ever,
energy saved is energy produced.
For a variety of loads, from water
pumps to gas compressors, variable
speed control offers the best way
to capture energy savings.
Precise power delivery
In many applications, the superiority
of electrical control simply cannot
be matched by mechanical systems.
Precise control of power means better
outcomes, from the flatness of a steel
sheet to the accuracy of offshore
Oil & Gas exploration.
