The invention discloses a medium-voltage frequency conversion system used for shale gas extraction. The medium-voltage frequency conversion system comprises an electric control chamber, an ABB medium-voltage frequency conversion system, a motor system, a programmable logic controller (PLC) control system, a fracturing pump, a user operating system and a remote monitoring system. The motor system comprises an alternate current frequency conversion motor, a soft starter, a sensor and a cooling system. The soft starter, the sensor and the cooling system are respectively connected with the alternate current frequency conversion motor. Voltage output of the electric control chamber is connected with the ABB medium-voltage frequency conversion system, output of the medium-voltage frequency conversion system is connected with the alternate current frequency conversion motor, the alternate current frequency conversion motor directly drives the fracturing pump, data output of the sensor is connected with the PLC control system, and the PLC control system is also respectively connected with the ABB medium-voltage frequency conversion system, the soft starter and the user operating system. According to the medium-voltage frequency conversion system, the motor directly drives the fracturing pump to replace a traditional mechanical transmission line, work efficiency of a unit is improved, the size and the weight of the unit are reduced, and manufacturing cost is reduced.
