Variable Frequency Drive
WOLONGWolong WD5100 Series General-Purpose High-Voltage Variable Frequency Drive
The WD5100 series general-purpose high-voltage frequency converter adopts a unit-series multi-level AC-DC-AC high-to-high topology and is built on a two-quadrant synchronous/asynchronous motor control platform, ensuring stable and reliable performance. The product line covers 6kV (315~9000 kVA) and 10kV (280~16000 kVA) series. It features an input power factor ≥0.95, input current harmonic distortion ≤4%, and complies with IEEE519-1992 and GB/T14549-93 standards. Supporting V/F, SVC, and FVC control modes, it drives asynchronous motors, electrically excited synchronous motors, and permanent magnet synchronous motors. Overall efficiency reaches ≥96%, with an MTBF of 50000 hours. Equipped with comprehensive system protection and extensive communication interfaces, it is widely used for energy-saving applications in fans and pumps across oil, power, chemical, metallurgy, building materials, and municipal sectors, as well as process drive applications for compressors, belt conveyors, elevators, crushers, and ball mills. For international projects, the WD5100/WD5180 platform has been deployed in over 20 countries, including Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Indonesia, Mexico, India, Germany, and Pakistan, covering 65 projects. Single-unit capacities range from 200 to 6560 kW, serving diverse loads such as motors, water pumps, fans, injection pumps, compressors, ball mills, elevators, crushers, internal mixers, and presses. Engineering delivery includes GA drawings, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, logic diagrams, and cable schedules (issued approximately 2 weeks after contract signing). Services also coordinate with existing medium-voltage system protection, confirm external interface and control power requirements, define cabinet dimensions with room and HVAC specifications, provide foundation and structural drawings, supply signal exchange lists, and offer engineering software and configuration file backups (excluding core control source code). On-site operations training and system manual delivery are included.

- Convert current based on 380V
- Overwrite Selection Tiers
- Available for all series
For domestic low-voltage grid standards, 3 kW and below use Y connection, while over 3 kW uses Δ connection, suitable for most factory distribution scenarios.
- Rated current range
- Convert current based on 380V
- Overwrite Selection Tiers
- Available for all series
Rated current for this voltage condition is listed in the parameter table; verify against your site's power system during selection.
Output power, speed, efficiency, power factor, and torque for the same model remain constant regardless of voltage; only the rated current is recalculated as I = IN × 380 / U. Dual-voltage motor models (380/660V and 660/1140V) are switched via terminal block jumpers. The 1140V model is designed for high-voltage underground coal mine applications and requires verification against its explosion-proof certification scope. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are categorized by supply voltage; please specify the site's supply voltage, number of phases, and frequency when ordering.
