SEW MCV41A0040-5A3-4-00

Product Introduction:
The MCV41A0040-5A3-4-00 is a compact drive inverter from SEW-EURODRIVE’s MOVIDRIVE compact series, supporting field-oriented control of asynchronous motors. The “MCV” designation confirms VFC and CFC dual-mode capability. The “41A” identifies the platform with PROFIBUS-DP. The “0040” denotes a recommended motor power of 4.0 kW. The “5A3” indicates three-phase AC 380–500V supply with Class A filter. The “4” indicates four-quadrant operation with brake chopper. The “00” suffix is the standard version. This unit belongs to the Size 1 form factor, representing the upper end of the Size 1 power range.
