SEW‑EURODRIVE MC07B0011-5A3-4-00 – Compact 400 V Class Frequency Inverter for General-Purpose Motor Control

The SEW MOVITRAC B series is a safe bet when you want straightforward speed control with reliable torque at low speeds. The model MC07B0011-5A3-4-00 sits in the 400–500 V three‑phase range and, based on SEW’s code, typically pairs with 1.1 kW motors at 400 V. From my experience, it’s a neat fit for conveyors, small pumps, and indexing stations where you need stable performance, easy wiring, and minimal commissioning time.

Our Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Delivery: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

You might notice that lead times on this series are generally stable; we stage common ratings to keep projects moving. If your build window is tight, we can usually line up a suitable substitute within the same family.

Key Features

• 400–500 V three‑phase input (code 5A3): Designed for industrial mains; good margin for 50/60 Hz grids.
• 1.1 kW motor class (code 0011): Typically matched to 1.1 kW/400 V induction motors; a sweet spot for light conveyors and pumps.
• V/f and sensorless vector control: Stable speed/torque without encoders; simple to tune in most cases.
• Built‑in I/O for quick automation: Usual set includes multiple digital inputs, an analog input, and a relay output for run/alarms.
• RS‑485 (MOVILINK): Convenient parameter access and diagnostics; easy to drop into existing SEW environments.
• Compact IP20 booksize housing: Saves panel space; side-by-side mounting typically supported with adequate ventilation.
• Safe, pragmatic commissioning: Clear parameter structure; works well even if you just need basic speed control from terminals.

Technical Specifications

Related or Supporting Products

• SEW MC07B0008-5A3-4-00: Similar drive in the 0.75 kW class; often chosen for lighter conveyors.
• SEW MC07B0015-5A3-4-00: Steps up to ~1.5 kW; good when you need extra headroom on start-up torque.
• SEW DBG60B keypad: Plug-in operator panel for local parameter entry and diagnostics; very handy during commissioning.
• SEW braking resistors (BW series): For faster deceleration in high-inertia loads; sized to the inverter’s power class.
• Input line reactors / EMC filters: Used to improve mains quality and reduce conducted emissions where required.
• Successor platform options (MOVITRAC advanced): For new designs needing more comms or safety features, while keeping a compact footprint.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet standards: Mount in an IP54+ enclosure for industrial environments; keep vertical airflow paths unobstructed.
• Ventilation: Provide adequate clearance on top/bottom; in many cases, forced ventilation is recommended above 40 °C ambient.
• Wiring: Use shielded motor cables for longer runs; separate control wiring from power; bond shields at the drive end.
• EMC & grounding: Short PE connection, wide copper straps work best; add EMC filters if site compliance demands it.
• Commissioning tips: Enter motor nameplate data, run an auto-tune if available, verify rotation, and check accel/decel ramps under load.
• Routine maintenance: Quarterly dust cleaning, tighten terminals, review fault history; update firmware when applicable through approved SEW tools.
• Spares strategy: Keep a matching keypad and a pre-saved parameter set; it seems to cut swap time drastically during an unplanned stop.

Quality & Certifications

• Certifications: CE marking; UL/cUL listing and RoHS compliance are typically available for MOVITRAC B series.
• Manufacturer standards: Designed for industrial duty with tested thermal and EMC performance.
• Warranty: 365 days (our supply guarantee); extended coverage available on request.
