Description
WEG marine electric motors — Germany.
Did you know
- The WEG W22 series of three-phase induction motors was introduced in stages, with the first frame sizes (225-355, up to 400 kW) demonstrated at Hanover in April 2008. This line was developed as a successor to WEG's W21 motor line, aiming to exceed its performance in efficiency and reliability.
- The W22 series represents WEG's advanced line of high-efficiency motors, positioned above the W21 series in terms of energy efficiency and technological advancements. While the W21 series focuses on standard industrial applications with IE1/IE2 efficiency, the W22 is designed for more demanding environments and offers higher efficiency classes (IE3, IE4, and even IE5 in some magnet versions).
- The WEG W22 motors are primarily chosen for their superior energy efficiency, robust construction, and optimized cooling system, which collectively lead to lower operating costs and extended motor life. They are engineered for reduced noise and vibration, making them suitable for sensitive applications, and are designed for compatibility with frequency inverters.
| Model | Efficiency Class | Construction Material | Cooling System | VFD Compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WEG W22 | IE3, IE4, IE5 (Magnet) | Cast Iron | Optimized airflow, lower operating temperatures | Standard, up to 575V without modification |
| WEG W21 | IE1, IE2, IE3 | Cast Iron / Aluminum | Standard industrial | Yes, but W22 has enhanced insulation for VFDs |
