WEG motors provide an ideal solution for multi-megawatt applications as they deliver outstanding performance, reliability and safety in the most arduous of operating conditions.
The motors available and serviced at Community Motors, Inc. in New Caney, Texas are designed to be compact and robust, using precision fabricated housings and high purity copper windings. The windings are sealed using a specialist Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) system and a specially formulated WEG epoxy based resin which guarantees high quality insulation and stator protection.
Operating temperature is crucial to both the efficiency and the longevity of electric motors – high electrical efficiency relates directly to better thermal efficiency and so the WEG units already have an advantage. They also employ a combination of internal cooling circuits and high efficiency cooling fans to guarantee an optimum temperature is maintained within the motor, even under full load.
High quality commutation components and bearings combine with extremely precise balancing procedures to ensure that the motors deliver smooth, quiet running over a long operational life.
As a global manufacturer, technical support is provided by Community Motors, Inc in Texas. WEG distributors like CMI also supplement dedicated WEG LV and MV technical support teams. From an environmental perspective, WEG’s production is powered to a large extent by renewable power sources and so the carbon footprint for a WEG electric motor is typically even lower than its inherent efficiency dictates, adding further to it green credentials.
