INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

An MV3000e DELTA a.c. drive is used to control a motor, generator, or power conditioning application.

It uses a modular approach which allows the use of a small number of common components to create a 

large number of system variants

Advantages Of The Modular System

• The DELTA transistor and rectifier modules are of a standard mechanical design, using the 

same mounting method and dimensions;

• DELTA rectifier and transistor modules can be connected in parallel to provide a wide range of 

power levels;

• Modular construction makes maintenance and repair work simple, and enables rapid module 

replacement;

• DELTA transistor and rectifier modules can be withdrawn on a simple slide system for ease of 

assembly and maintenance.

• Ease of handling – smaller, lighter modules are assembled to form large drives.

DELTA Product Range

• Rectifier module;

• Transistor modules;

• MV3000e Controller

• SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) units;

• User I/O termination panel;

• MVM (Mains Voltage Monitor);

• DDM (Drive Data ManagerTM)– Keypad;

• Reactors and transformers;

• Installation accessories (mounting kits and control cables).

ASSOCIATED MANUALS

• T1676 – MV3000e Getting Started Manual (for rectifier fed systems);

• T1679 – MV3000e Software Manual (and Firmware Supplement T2154); 

• T2002 – MV3000e Getting Started Manual (for AEM systems).

The T1676 and T2002 manuals include commissioning and operating details for the complete MV3000e

DELTA drive.

DRIVE CONFIGURATIONS

A DELTA drive consists of two ‘bridges’ – the network bridge and the machine bridge.

Two generic configurations are available, each with a different network topology:
