SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Vector Control is the high-performance member of the Siemens MASTERDRIVES converter system, sitting between the Frequency Control and Motion Control variants. The units are voltage-source DC link converters with fully digital control and IGBT inverters, rated from 0.55 kW to 2300 kW on 380-480 V, 500-600 V and 660-690 V three-phase supplies.
Four housing designs are offered: Compact PLUS from 0.55 kW to 18.5 kW, compact units, IP00 chassis units and ready-to-connect 6SE71 cabinet units. The standard software provides V/f control and field-oriented vector control, which runs without an encoder over a 1:10 speed range.
Compact PLUS converters have an integrated brake chopper and can feed further Compact PLUS inverters from their DC link, while compact and chassis converters take a separate braking unit on DC terminals C and D. The UL and CSA approvals do not extend to the 660-690 V AC or 890-930 V DC ratings.
Field-oriented vector control with a 2.5 kHz current control frequency
Runs without a speed encoder over a 1:10 speed range
Speed control and torque control available when an encoder is fitted
V/f frequency control with or without speed feedback, plus a textile variant
Load class II overload, 1.36 x rated current for 60 s or 1.6 x for 30 s
Compact PLUS, compact, chassis and 6SE71 cabinet housings, 0.55 kW to 2300 kW

This table covers the Compact PLUS range only. Siemens also builds MASTERDRIVES VC as compact and chassis units from 2.2 kW upwards and as ready-to-connect 6SE71 cabinet units, on 380-480 V, 500-600 V and 660-690 V supplies. On a Vector Control order number the control-version digit is 6, as in 6SE7031-0EE60. Weights above are those printed in the 2001 Compact PLUS Product Overview; the 2003/2004 catalogue prints slightly different figures for the same order numbers. Please contact us with the order number from your rating plate and we will confirm support for your unit.
