Electric Power & Propulsion Solutions

The PWM MV7000 Converter and Induction Motor Solution

Converteam has adopted the press-pack IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) technology for the new MV7000 medium voltage PWM converters. Combined with induction motors, these converters significantly enhance electric propulsion performances. There is no need for harmonic filtering and a powerful encoderless controller further optimizes the total power & propulsion plant design.

High Torque Density Induction Motor

• Simpler design (squirrel cage rotor) and robust technology (no brushes, no rotor windings, no field exciter)
• Provides direct-drive gearless propulsion
• Fully suited to Marine applications (large air gap, high efficiency)

Press-Pack IGBT Technology

• Excellent overall efficiency
• Robustness and compactness: large voltage & current ratings limit the number of components
