SEW‑EURODRIVE MC07B0005-5A3-4-00 – Compact MOVITRAC B Inverter for 3‑Phase 400–500 V Motors
The SEW MC07B0005-5A3-4-00 is a MOVITRAC B series frequency inverter designed for small to mid‑size three‑phase motors on 380–500 V grids. From my experience, this frame size is a go‑to choice for compact conveyors, small packaging stations, and light duty pumps where you want reliable V/f control, quick commissioning, and a clean IP20 panel‑mount footprint.
One thing I appreciate is how the -5A3 variant typically includes EMC suppression suitable for industrial environments, and in many cases an integrated brake chopper—handy when you’ve got start/stop cycles or need quicker deceleration.

Key Features
- 3‑phase 380–500 V operation – Suited for standard 50/60 Hz industrial mains, stable performance on typical 400 V plants.
- V/f control with slip compensation – Straightforward speed control for conveyors, fans, and pumps; smooth ramping and decent torque at low speeds.
- Integrated EMC measures (variant -5A3) – Helps meet industrial EMC requirements in most cases without bulky external filters.
- Braking capability – On this size, a built‑in brake chopper is commonly available; pair with a resistor for faster stops when the load calls for it.
- Practical I/O set – Multiple 24 VDC digital inputs, a relay output, and analog I/O make it easy to tie into PLCs or stand‑alone controls.
- RS‑485 based interface – Simple serial integration (SEW’s standard) for parameter access and basic diagnostics; useful during commissioning.
- Panel‑mount IP20 housing – Compact frame size that drops cleanly into standard enclosures; wiring is accessible and service‑friendly.
- Quick commissioning – Typical SEW parameter structure; you can be up and running in minutes with a hand-held keypad or PC tool.

Real‑world note: a packaging OEM told us the MC07B0005 version “dropped into a tight cabinet, took the conveyor from 30 to 60 Hz with clean ramping, and we didn’t need an external brake unit for the stop we wanted.” Your mileage can vary, but that lines up with what we usually see on light conveyor duty.

Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet requirements – IP20 panel mount in a ventilated enclosure. Keep adequate top/bottom clearances for airflow; avoid heat sources nearby.
- Wiring – Use shielded motor cables where EMC standards apply; bond shields 360° at entry. Separate control and power wiring to reduce noise.
- Protection & grounding – Proper PE grounding and upstream protection (fuses or breakers) per SEW recommendations; add a line reactor if supply THD is high.
- Motor data – Enter motor nameplate values; run an auto‑tune if available for better low‑speed behavior.
- Routine checks – Inspect terminals for torque, clean dust filters/vents, and verify fans run quietly. Periodic parameter backups are a good habit.
- Firmware/parameter care – Where applicable, keep a copy of the parameter set; update tools/software as needed for service access.
Quality & Certifications
- Conformity: CE; typically cULus recognized and RoHS compliant for this series.
- Manufacturing quality: SEW‑EURODRIVE’s industrial‑grade build, suitable for continuous duty in most factory environments.
- Warranty: 365‑day warranty as part of our supply terms above.
If you’re targeting small gearmotor drives on 400 V lines and want fast commissioning with predictable behavior, the MC07B0005-5A3-4-00 seems to be a safe pick. You might notice that it strikes a nice balance between feature set and panel space—especially when you don’t need full vector control or fieldbus-heavy networking.
