Product description
Within the MOVIDRIVE compact range, SEW-Eurodrive MCF40A0015-5A3-4-00 identifies a field-oriented drive inverter for asynchronous motors. The MCF version operates without an encoder in VFC operating modes; MCF40A denotes the version without fieldbus. As a standard version, it also carries the suffix 4-00. The corresponding SEW part number is 826 738 3. Size 1 is supplied with three-phase AC 380 to 500 V and 50 to 60 Hz. At 400 V, the rated output current is 4 A and the apparent output power is 2.8 kVA. A recommended motor power of 1.5 kW is specified for constant load; for variable torque load or constant load without overload, 2.2 kW is stated. The continuous output current at 125 % of rated current is 5 A, based on 400 V and a 4 kHz PWM frequency. Settings of 4, 8, 12 or 16 kHz are available. The integrated four-quadrant operation uses a brake chopper; the minimum permissible braking resistor is 68 Ω. Degree of protection IP20, forced cooling and a temperature-controlled fan are relevant for mechanical assignment. At rated power, maximum power loss is 85 W and the cooling-air requirement is 40 m³/h. The speed range extends from -5500 to +5500 min⁻¹ with a resolution of 0.2 min⁻¹; no restrictions apply up to an installation altitude of 1000 m. The enclosure measures 105 × 315 × 155 mm and weighs 2.8 kg. The complete identifier distinguishes this version from MCF41A with PROFIBUS-DP and from the higher-power versions 0022, 0030 and 0040. Version, supply class, current data and complete type number remain jointly decisive for technical selection.

What applies if an item develops a defect within 14 days?
For the condition categories “Used, removed from an installation” and “New, old stock”, the contractual 14-day right of return in the event of a defect applies. The defect must occur within 14 calendar days after delivery and be reported in text form within the same period.
In particular, the REHA tamper-evident seal must remain fully intact and our RMA approval is required before return. In an accepted case, we decide between replacement and refund. Details in Section 11 of the Terms.
Which shipping methods and delivery times are available?
The shipping method, shipping cost and estimated delivery time are confirmed for the specific order. Depending on the item, destination and urgency, we can check parcel, express or freight shipping as well as collection.
A delivery date is binding only if we expressly confirm it as binding.
Which payment terms apply?
The payment terms stated in the checkout or order confirmation apply. Depending on the order and customer, payment is made in advance or against invoice.
International deliveries and deliveries to new customers are generally made against advance payment unless we expressly confirm another payment arrangement.
Can I return an item ordered incorrectly or found incompatible?
No. There is no general B2B right of return, exchange, cancellation or withdrawal. Incorrect or duplicate orders and a lack of suitability or compatibility with the customer’s installation are not covered by the contractual 14-day right of return in the event of a defect. Details in Section 12 of the Terms.
Can I request individual pricing for several items?
You may request an individual quotation for several items or larger quantities. We then check availability and pricing for the specific requirement; there is no entitlement to a quantity discount. Open the quick enquiry.
Do you also purchase industrial spare parts?
Yes. You can offer us automation and drive components for purchase. Please provide complete type numbers, quantities, condition details and photographs where possible.
After review, we will tell you whether a purchase is possible and on which terms. Learn more about selling industrial stock.
