Improved IP rating for WEG inverter range
~ WEG at Aqua Nederland 2022 ~
Motor and drive manufacturer, WEG will exhibit its latest range of industrial inverters at Aqua Nederland, held on March 15, 16 & 17, 2022 in Gorinchem. Demonstrating inverters from the CFW range, WEG is showcasing the latest version of the CFW500 variable speed drive at the show, which is now available with an ingress protection (IP) rating of IP66.
Aqua Nederland is the leading event for the water industry in Holland, welcoming over 370 exhibitors to demonstrate the latest technology in water treatment and management. As an intimate trade fair, the show provides a unique opportunity for those working in the industry to discover new product launches and network with other water industry professionals.
At the show, WEG will show the latest version of its well-established CFW500 frequency inverter. The CFW500 is a high-performance variable speed drive (VSD) with power ranging from 0.25 to 75, developed to control the speed and torque of three-phase induction motors. The device is now available with a higher IP rating than ever before, boasting IP66 rating as opposed to the previous IP20, meaning that it is suitable for applications where it may be subjected to direct high-pressure jets of water
Other variable speed drives from the WEG range have also been improved. The CFW700, CFW701 and CFW11 are now available with IP55 protection rating — making these devices ideal choices for applications in the water industry.
WEG has long provided solutions for the water industry, including its control gear and soft starters. Due to the demanding environments of water treatment, management and pumping, WEG is dedicated to engineering products that can adapt to the exact specifications of an application. This includes bespoke changes to the electrical and mechanical design of products.
WEG has also developed bespoke technology for drives used in pumping applications. WEG’s Pump Genius Has features that include broken pipe and leakage detection and programmable schedules with energy savings.
“WEG doesn’t simply sell motors and drives,” explained Marek Lukaszczyk, marketing manager at WEG. “Engineers at WEG work directly with customers to ensure the drives we supply are ideally suited for each application. For the water industry, this process ensures that drives are engineered to operate in the most effective and optimal manner — with an appropriate IP rating and peripheral technology to support the drive once it is in use.
“As a specialist trade fair, Aqua Nederland provides the perfect environment for WEG’s engineers to meet with potential end users and discuss their current challenges for motor and drive deployment in the water industry. The team will be available during the three day show at stand J106.”
