500 kW High Power Drive

315 kW to 500 kW | Up to 865 A | 380 to 480 VAC (± 10%)
with 110% Overload

You loved the smaller ones. Here's the big one.

While low power accounts for most of the growth for variable speed drives, energy-saving applications are driving growth in high power drives.

Fans, pumps, compressors and extruders are common uses of drives that increasingly need a higher power option.

Light weight, but no light weight!

Enter the new high power drive, which not only offers 500 kW of power in a single module, but at 130kg is up to 60kg lighter than competitors drives.

Its small footprint and pre-engineered accessories make it easy to install or retrofit in industry standard cubicles.

A choice of control module options

This 500 kW drive can be fitted with a Unidrive M600/ M70X or Pump Drive F600 control module and has a wide range of accessories available for easy installation.

Alternatively, the frame can be provided pre-assembled in its own industry standard cabinet, with user-selectable system components included.


This is the ready to use DFS series free standing version.
