Description

1. General Description

MCF41A0015-5A3-4-00 is a compact three-phase inverter belonging to SEW-EURODRIVE MOVIDRIVE compact series. It is rated at 1.5 kW (2 HP) and designed for standard three-phase asynchronous motors. This unit adopts sensorless vector control, comes with onboard PROFIBUS-DP interface and integrated Class A EMC filter, and supports 4-quadrant operation with built-in brake chopper.

2. Model Code Explanation

MCF stands for MOVIDRIVE compact series with sensorless vector control and no encoder function. 41 indicates the drive is equipped with integrated PROFIBUS-DP communication. A refers to the product series version. 0015 represents the rated motor power of 1.5 kW. 5 means the rated input voltage is 3-phase 380–500 V AC. A denotes the built-in Class A EMC filter. 3 stands for three-phase power input. 4 means 4-quadrant operation and integrated brake chopper. 00 is the standard configuration without STO safety function and expansion slots.

3. Electrical Specifications

The input voltage ranges from 380 V AC to 500 V AC with a tolerance of ±10%, and the applicable input frequency is 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The rated input current is 3.6 A.
The rated output power is 1.5 kW (2 HP) with apparent power of 2.8 kVA and rated output current of 4.0 A. The output voltage can be adjusted from 0 V AC to 480 V AC, and the output frequency range is 0 Hz to 600 Hz. For overload performance, the drive can run continuously at 125% rated current, and sustain 150% rated current for 60 seconds.
Available control modes include V/f control and sensorless vector control (VFC), which delivers stable high torque output at low speed.

4. Communication and EMC

This inverter is fitted with onboard PROFIBUS-DP for industrial bus communication. It also has an integrated Class A EMC filter to suppress electromagnetic interference and meet relevant EMC requirements.

5. Mechanical and Environmental Data

The protection class is IP20, and the product is only suitable for installation inside control cabinets. It adopts forced air cooling mode. The overall dimensions are 70 mm × 185 mm × 165 mm, and the net weight is approximately 1.4 kg.
The allowable operating ambient temperature is from -10 °C to +50 °C. Power derating is required when the ambient temperature exceeds 50 °C. For installation altitude, derate the power by 1% per 100 meters above 1000 meters, and the maximum applicable altitude is 2000 meters. This product complies with CE, UL, cUL and RoHS certifications.

6. I/O Terminals and Protection Functions

The device is equipped with 6 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 relay output and 1 analog input supporting 0–10 V signal or 4–20 mA signal. It is compatible with TF, PTC and TH motor temperature sensors for motor temperature monitoring.
Built-in comprehensive protection functions cover overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, over temperature, motor overload, short circuit and earth fault protection to ensure safe and stable operation.

7. Key Features

It features compact structure to save cabinet installation space. The integrated brake chopper enables reliable 4-quadrant operation to handle regenerative and inertial loads. The onboard PROFIBUS-DP realizes convenient connection with PLC and other automation devices. The built-in Class A EMC filter eliminates the need for extra external filter components. Sensorless vector control ensures excellent low-speed torque performance. Multiple protection functions effectively prevent equipment damage caused by abnormal operating conditions.

8. Application Scope

This inverter is widely applied to drive 1.5 kW three-phase asynchronous motors. Typical applications include small conveyors, fans, water pumps, packaging machinery and other general industrial automation equipment that require PROFIBUS communication and strong electromagnetic interference suppression capability.
