WEG Introduces Line of Energy Efficient Motors and Drives at Hanover Fair


ATLANTA, Georgia, April, 22, 2008 - WEG Electric Motors Corp. (www.weg.net), a leading global supplier of motors, drives, and transformers, is launching a range of new energy efficient motors and drives, including the new W22 (available for the U.S. market in 2010) at the Hanover Fair in Germany. Energy efficiency and lower lifetime costs have been developed by WEG in its new W22 platform three phase induction range. Other innovative improvements, supported by patent and registered design applications, deliver lower noise and vibration, even better reliability with a longer working life, and easier maintenance.

Improved Plug-and-Play philosophy for three-phase induction motor control is one of many important benefits of WEG's CFW-11 (available for the U.S. market August 2008) variable frequency drive (VFD). At this Hanover Fair, WEG is launching its new CFW-11M Modular Drive (available September 2008) which brings the many CFW-11 design benefits of 300kW to 2000kW range motors (380 to 690V), with added versatility for the operation of these larger motors.
