A broad range of solutions that harness the latest technology

With over a century of recognized excellence in electrical systems and power electronics, Converteam group is a world leading engineering company in power conversion.
The new Converteam range of high performance medium voltage drives, the MV7000, brings innovation to the field of large drives technology. It gives an effective answer to the increasing demand for outstanding performance, excellent reliability and improved compactness. Using proven technology from Converteams extensive range of drives, the MV7000 converters offer compact and efficient design and they perfectly match the more dynamic and high performance demands: general industrial applications: fans, compressors, pumps, mixers, extruders, wind turbines, wind tunnels, mine winders, conveyors, test benches high speed drives for oil and gas: high speed compressors drives for metals industry: hot rolling and cold rolling mills drives for marine, naval and offshore applications. The MV7000 drives are designed to meet your expectations in terms of: performance with high efficiency up to 99% reliability with press-pack IGBT technology, fuseless protection and low component count compactness, modularity and front access low operating costs. In addition, the MV7000 offers you additional benefits such as: quality of supply to the driven motor (high-grade torque, no machine derating, low noise and vibration level) minimum network interference (low harmonics, high power factor) ease of use (advanced control features, function block diagram, operating panel, remote PC) ease of maintenance (self monitoring system, all front access, modular construction).

A complete range of high performance drives

MV7000 drives cover the medium and high power range up to 33MW with motor voltages from 3.3 to 6.6kV. The drives are water cooled PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) voltage source inverters. They can feed both induction and synchronous machines with high performance vector control, across all speed ranges from low speed marine propulsion drives to high speed compressor drives without a gearbox. The MV7000 drive is modular and features different options, such as regenerative front ends, dynamic braking choppers, connection to a common DC bus, so that the drive can be configured to suit virtually all applications.

Higher efficiency and compatibility with all motors The inverter features the Press-Pack IGBT power semiconductors, which enhance the power capabilities of the MV7000 in the larger sizes. For the higher power range these devices give considerably increased power, less losses and improved reliability due to lower component count and rugged design. As a result, the MV7000 is at the top level for reliability, efficiency and power density. The PWM 3-level NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) inverter provides excellent output waveform, and subsequently very low current THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). This results in negligible derating of the driven machine and negligible amplitude of torque pulsations at the shaft, a huge benefit for critical process applications. The drive can supply either new machines with standard insulation or machines in retrofit applications. The PWM control strategy used by the MV7000 means high quality performance, with adjustable PWM patterns and frequency at every operating point, providing a wide range of flexibility for: low switching losses low motor THD operating at very low frequency, with full torque operation at high frequency, up to 300Hz.

The MV7000 features as standard a 12-pulse (or 24pulse) diode front end, fed by a 2 (or 4) phase-shifted secondary winding transformer. The harmonics injected into the network are very low. The drive complies with international standards for voltage and current harmonic distortion, without any harmonic filters or var-compensation equipment. The drive continues to operate in the event of voltage dips without tripping (ride-through). When required, electrical braking is available with an optional dynamic braking chopper connected to a resistor. Energy optimization For reversing applications with frequent braking, a PWM active front end enables regeneration of the energy to the network. Additionally, the active front end gives unity power factor and a sinusoidal input with negligible harmonics. For multiple drive applications with both motoring and regenerating drives (typically tension reels in the metals industry), a common DC link fed by a single active front end is perfectly suited for reducing overall equipment cost and footprint. Soft start-up without grid disturbance (Patent in progress) The MV7000 provides low inrush current when energizing the drive. Pre-magnetizing of the input transformer is achieved by means of auxiliary transformer. Closing of main circuit breaker is completed without incoming bus disturbance.

Low parts count The MV7000 requires only twelve PPIs (Press-Pack IGBT) per drive up to 8.4MW (@ 3300V), compared to other drives that require 18 to 36 power switches. Low component count with high quality devices provides the MV7000 with an inherently more reliable design. Press-Pack IGBT (PPI) In 2003, Converteam introduced the PPI in medium voltage drives for their higher power ranges. In addition to improved compactness and robustness, such devices offer: capability to limit any over-currents with safe turn-off under all operating and failure conditions case rupture free and arc ignition free due to pressed contacts and no wire bondings N+1 series redundancy: operation with redundant level off is allowed thanks to secured continuous conduction of the PPI in failure mode long life expectancy even under load cycling high capability at low motor frequency operation. Phase Power Stack (PPS) The PPS is the main modular block that allows us to build the 3-level NPC inverter. Each PPS includes 4 PPIs and 2 NPC diodes. Each PPI is mounted in a withdrawable power pack. The PPS integrated technology allows fuseless and snubberless design.

Megamodule The assembly of 3 PPSs composes the Megamodule that provides all the functions of the inverter. This standard building block with integrated technology allows modular arrangements of the MV7000 range such as: parallel connection for high power ratings connection to a common DC link for multiple motors active front end configuration single phase inverters for dedicated applications. Based on the success of the PPI and PPS, Converteam developed Megamodules with higher voltage ratings. 6.6kV is achieved simply by connecting 2 PPIs in series (Patent in progress). Higher voltages can be reached by connecting more PPIs in series (on request).

Valuable space savings

Cooling unit Converteam has been continuously improving water cooling technology since deionized water cooling was introduced in 1975: all metal pipes & valves in contact with deionized water are stainless steel deionized water to fresh water heat exchanger is a high pressure stainless steel plate design close monitoring of the water conductivity, pressure, flow and leakage is provided deionized water is distributed to PPS with high pressure, non conductive hoses.

High grade control

The drive controller is a state-of-the-art Power Electronics Controller (PEC) featuring an Encoderless Vector Control (EVC). For dedicated drives, like drives for process industries, a vector control with an encoder is also available. Outstanding benefits high level performance dynamic control high reliability dedicated software for parameter setting, editing, archiving (using a remote PC) fieldbus for connection to automation systems Functional Block Diagram (FBD) for motor control and application software drive protection settings and monitoring full control of drive input transformer and motor auxiliaries. Adaptability The PEC is a VME bus controller using the most advanced processor technologies and is adaptable, enabling it to cover a wide range of drive applications and configuration options. Ease of operation Local set-up and monitoring can be achieved with the Drive Data Manager (DDM). This redefines the keypad concept with menu navigation, on-line help and diagnosis, upload/download of parameter settings, quick start and instrumentation facilities all wrapped up in an ergonomic design with a large display. The DDM is mounted on the control cubicle door.
