Medium Voltage, Major Performance

When low voltage VFDs reach their limits, medium voltage takes over. Host Greg Weichman and guest Tim Scheidell break down what medium voltage (MV) really means and how MV VFDs differ from low voltage drives in system design, internal topology, commissioning, safety, and real-world applications.   With Tim’s experience working with large-scale drive systems, they explore multi-level architectures, power cells, harmonic performance, maintenance expectations, and the industries that depend on MV solutions. Whether you're new to medium voltage or evaluating when it makes sense to move beyond 480V systems, this episode gives you the clarity needed to understand where MV fits and why it matters.   02:23 What Counts as Medium Voltage04:15 Why Step Up to MV05:53 Design Differences Inside an MV Drive15:22 Safety, Commissioning, and Maintenance21:05 Where MV Is Used22:52 When LV Still Wins25:31 Future MV Trends   Have a topic you want us to cover?
