Medium Voltage
Medium-voltage variable frequency drives control the speed and torque of large MV motors, cutting energy use, smoothing starts, and extending mechanical life. They are typical on pumps, fans, and compressors in process plants where matching motor speed to load yields significant energy savings.
Schneider Electric's Altivar Process MV range supports air-cooled and water-cooled drives from 0.3 MW to 30 MW, with active front-end harmonic mitigation and full IEC 61850 connectivity.

They control the speed and torque of large MV motors, cutting energy use, smoothing starts, and extending mechanical life, and are typical on pumps, fans, and compressors in process plants.
The Altivar Process MV range supports drives from 0.3 MW to 30 MW at voltage levels of 3.3 kV, 6.6 kV, and 11 kV.
An active front-end provides harmonic mitigation with harmonic compliance to IEEE 519.
Air- or water-cooled cabinets are offered, with built-in PLC, motor protection, energy reporting, and full IEC 61850 connectivity.
Typical applications include high-power pumps in oil & gas and water utilities, ID and FD fans in cement and power plants, compressors in petrochemical processes, and mill and crusher drives in mining.
By matching motor speed to the actual load on pumps, fans, and compressors instead of running at full speed, the drive avoids wasted energy, which yields significant savings in process plants.
Yes. They include built-in PLC, motor protection, and energy reporting, with full IEC 61850 connectivity and EcoStruxure Power for integration into plant control and monitoring.
Yes. We configure each drive for the motor rating, voltage level, and cooling method required, and our power engineers respond to project specs with a configured proposal.
