MCV40A0015-5A3-4-0T

Overview MCV40A0015-5A3-4-0T is a compact, high‑performance MOVIDRIVE®compact variable frequency drive (VFD) manufactured by SEW‑EURODRIVE, Germany. It is designed for three‑phase asynchronous motors (with or without encoder feedback) in general automation applications, offering reliable speed control in a small footprint.

Description

Model Decoding

  • MCV: Drive for asynchronous motors (VFC/CFC control, encoder‑capable)

  • 40A: Series without integrated fieldbus (basic version, option for add‑on communication cards)

  • 0015: Rated power 1.5 kW

  • 5A3: Voltage class 3×380–500 V AC, input current 3.6 A

  • 4: Matches 400 V‑class motors

  • 0T: No brake chopper (suitable for applications without frequent regenerative braking)

Key Technical Specifications

  • Input: 3×380–500 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 3.6 A

  • Output: 2.8 kVA, 4.0 A, 1.5 kW; frequency range 0–180 Hz

  • Control Modes:

    • VFC: Volts‑per‑Hz (open‑loop, simple speed control)

    • CFC: Current‑vector (closed‑loop, with encoder for higher precision)

  • Communication: No onboard fieldbus (optional add‑on cards available)

  • Features: Integrated EMC input filter, no brake chopper, IP20 protection, 4‑quadrant operation capability

  • Dimensions: ~105 × 315 × 155 mm

  • Weight: ~3.4 kg

  • Certifications: CE, UL compliant (meets EN 61800‑3 EMC standards)

Typical Applications

  • Conveyors, belt drives, and material handling systems

  • Fans, pumps, and general‑purpose machinery

  • Simple positioning tasks with asynchronous motors (encoder‑feedback optional)

  • Cost‑effective, compact installations requiring 1.5 kW motor control

Main Advantages

  • Compact & Lightweight: Saves cabinet space; easy installation

  • Flexible Control: Supports both open‑loop (VFC) and closed‑loop (CFC) operation

  • EMC Compliance: Built‑in input filter reduces electromagnetic interference

  • Cost‑Efficient: Basic version without fieldbus lowers investment for standard tasks
