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 »
The WEG CFW500 Wash series is a redesign of our most successful CFW500 series product line. Engineer improvements have produced one of the most compact and full featured washdown drive in the market.
The new version with IP66/NEMA 4X protection rating increases the product robustness, ensuring protection against the ingress of dust and water jets from any direction, which allows its use and installation both indoors and outdoors. The new IP66 models of the CFW500 line have the following characteristics.
