Your benefits

Reduced energy costs
MOVIDRIVE® regenerative power supply units reduce the total energy consumption.

No heating up
Braking resistors mean that the installation environment does not heat up and that any air conditioning is no longer needed.

Reduction in required control cabinet space
Braking resistors no longer need to be installed in the control cabinet.

Energy recycling = cost savings

Is potential energy from lowering and braking movements converted into waste heat in your applications?

Put a stop to that!

Use our MOVIDRIVE® MDR regenerative power supply units to harness the regenerative energy of your drives. The MOVIDRIVE® MDR regenerative power supply unit acts as a centralized supply and regenerative power supply unit for the connected inverters.

They can be used in combination with our MOVIDRIVE® B drive inverters and MOVITRAC® B frequency inverters. Several inverters can be connected to the MOVIDRIVE® MDR in a DC link connection.

No braking resistors - no waste heat, instead braking energy is fed back into the supply system
Regenerative power supply
It works as a centralized supply and regenerative power supply unit, i.e. It works as a brake module, i.e.
  • The connected drive inverter is supplied with energy
  • Connection of several MOVIDRIVE® possible in a DC link connection
  • Energy exchange between drive axes
  • Surplus braking energy is fed back into the supply system
  • The connected drive inverter is not supplied with energy
  • Only braking energy is fed back into the supply system
  • DC link supplied via the integrated input rectifier on the drive axis
  • Cost-effective overall system: Selection of the regenerative power supply unit based on the braking energy from the application, selection of the drive inverters based on the motor load

This is particularly interesting for applications with a high energy potential during lowering and braking movements of the load cycle, such as:

  • gantry cranes
  • stacker cranes
  • lifting and lowering applications

Energy recycling in practice

Using the lifting axis as an example, the power measurement on an SRS shows the regenerative energy fed back into the supply system.
