A variable frequency drive is an electronic device that allows you to start, stop, and control the speed of a three phase motor. It is also a motor starter as it is equipped with overload protection. Read more »
What is the difference between a 'new surplus' motor and a 'factory new' motor?
Our New Surplus electric motors and drives are new and unused overstock or discontinued items offered at lower prices and come with our 90-day warranty.
Factory New products are competitively priced and come with a manufacturers warranty.
Variable frequency drives (VFDs or inverters) now play an important part in major industry.
Within the last 10 years they have been perfected to control and vary the speed of 3 phase electric motors. They serve many purposes, besides speed control. Homeowners and hobbyist alike, who have lathes or milling machines with a 3 phase motor, usually don't have 3 phase power to operate. These VFDs (instead of using a rotary phase converter) can now be used to convert single phase power to 3 phase power. Read more »
Electric Motors
: Severe Duty and General Purpose: High Efficiency & NEMA Premium
: W22 Super Premium
Catalog Number: 12518EG3G444T-W22
WEG id: 11792521
Description
High performance with maximum energy efficiency is the goal of the W22 electric motor. High efficiency and Low cost of Ownership throughout the entire motor lifetime have been the basis for the W22 development. A design created to maximize performance and energy savings.
New Cooling System
Designed to provide optimized air flow through all motor frames keeping low operational temperatures and assuring reliability and extended lifetime. The aerodynamic design of the fan cover optimizes effective airflow, thus minimizing losses due to the recirculation of air between fan and fan cover. The fan was designed to provide strength and reduced noise level. Motor terminal box and eyebolts are positioned on larger frames to allow better airflow. The new W22 cooling system also contributes to:
Cooler bearing temperature extending relubrication intervals
Lower Noise Level fulfilling the most demanding Health & Safety regulations
Lower Overall Operational Temperature resulting in longer life
Terminal box
Large internal space making connections more accessible to the user resulting in an easier cable handling and connection
Terminal box can be mounted on top, left or right site of the motor using the same frame on the 447T and larger motors. Top mounting is optional on smaller frames
Exclusive bearing sealing system
Extends motor lifetime when operating in aggressive environments by protecting the motor against water and dust guaranteeing proper degree of protection
Frame
Motor feet are solid providing a highly resistant structure against vibration. The frame design has points that can be used as provisions for vibration sensors as a standard feature. Benefits from the new frame design:
Motor temperature reduction
Eyebolts positioned for easy handling in the application
Provision for vibration sensors - frame and endshields with provisions 90° displaced according to maintenance technical recommendations. Easier and more reliable vibration analysis
Solid feet - Enhanced reliability when operating on high vibration applications and also provide easier alignment on installation
