Schneider Electric Unveils Innovative MV Drives in Japan

Schneider Electric, a leader in energy management and automation, is set to launch its cutting-edge Medium Voltage (MV) drive systems, the ATV6000 and ATV6100 series, in the Japanese market on October 27, 2025. These new products are designed to provide effective control for high voltage motors in industries, offering both energy efficiency and customizable options tailored to various operational needs.

Features and Specifications

The MV drives are suitable for voltage ranges between 2.4kV and 13.8kV and power capacities from 150kW to 20,000kW. This adaptability allows for a broad spectrum of applications within factories and plants, particularly in managing high-voltage and large fans, pumps, and compressors. The ATV6000 model features a service-oriented approach to digitalization, aimed at modern industrial demands, while the compact design of the ATV6100 model ensures compatibility even in limited spaces.

Key Benefits

• - Enhanced Energy Efficiency: The integrated MV drive system uses a multipulse transformer and low voltage inverter cascades, significantly suppressing harmonics (THDi <3%) to enhance power quality, thereby reducing operational expenditure (OPEX).
• - Versatile Customization: Schneider’s MV drives can be tailored to meet specific user requirements, including different input/output voltages and extensive redundancy configurations using N+1 designs.
• - Predictive Maintenance: Both series are compatible with EcoStruxure™ Asset Advisor for Drive & Rotating Equipment, enabling predictive maintenance which further assures operational reliability.
