Energy-efficient drive solutions

WEG introduced its latest energy-efficient drive solution, the W22X explosion-proof motor, which is available in IEC 800 frame size and has efficiency of up to 97.4%.

Designed for medium- and high-voltage applications, the W22X 800 can be used wherever high reliability and robustness are needed in addition to explosion protection. With power ratings up to 5.6MW and operating voltages up to 11kV, the W22X 800 motors extend WEG's W22X motor series in the upper power range. Like the low-voltage W22X motor series, they are available in efficiency ratings up to IE4.

WEG's latest generation of explosion-proof low-voltage induction motors in the W22X series have rated power from 3 to 1,000kW. The W22X 800 is suited for applications in both gas and dust atmospheres.

ATEX-compliant geared motors can combine W22X motors with gear units from WEG's subsidiary Watt Drive, as well as high-performance variable speed drives, all designed to help process managers increase operational efficiencies.
