4 Benefits of WEG Variable Speed Drives


As an authorized WEG motors distributor and WEG variable speed drive repair specialists, Tekwell Services knows a lot about the WEG variable speed drives and how installing one within your operation will benefit you. Here are some of the specific benefits that you can expect by purchasing a WEG variable speed drive:

1 – WEG Variable Speed Drives Are Versatile

WEG variable speed drives are used by many different industries such as cement production, mining, chemicals, oil and gas, sugar production, alcohol production, metal, water and wastewater, HVAC, paper and many more. WEG variable speed drives come in a variety of sizes from “micro” variable speed drives for small machines (up to 5 HP), to industrial variable speed drives handling loads up to 2,500 HP.

They also are easy to adapt for your industry’s specific needs through numerous expansion slots that can be used to add features such as fieldbus communication modules and encoder feedback for extremely precise speed and torque control of a motor and load.

2 – Easy to Monitor

WEG variable speed drives can use the free SuperDrive G2 software to monitor and program the VFD using a personal computer. 

3 – Saves Energy

Variable speed drives save a tremendous amount of energy versus across-the-line starters on variable torque loads such as centrifugal fans and pumps.

4 – Lowers Operational Costs

Reducing the amount of energy consumed by the hardware in your plant saves you money. Because variable speed drives also provide controlled acceleration and stopping of equipment, there is less wear and tear on it which reduces the maintenance costs for it, as well as prolongs the life of it.
