W40 - Open Induction Motors

Product catalog summary
Overview: The W40 Open Induction Motors are engineered for environments with minimal dirt and moisture. They feature a cast iron frame that enhances ventilation and heat dissipation, ensuring low vibration, high mechanical stiffness, and durability. These motors are ideal for applications such as compressors, pumps, and chillers, adhering to international efficiency standards.
Optional Features: These motors offer a range of optional features, including voltage options from 5,000 to 6,600 V, various pole configurations, different mounting options, thermal protections, and compatibility with frequency inverters for voltages above 575 V. Accessories such as space heaters, cable glands, and different bearing types are also available.
Standard Features: The motors have a rated output of 15 to 2,500 HP, with frame sizes ranging from NEMA 254T to L6808/09. They operate at frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz and voltages from 208 to 4,160 V. The insulation class is F, with a degree of protection from ODP (IP23) to WPI (IP24). They are designed for NEMA Premium Efficiency and are suitable for frequency inverter operation up to 460V.
New Frame Sizes: The introduction of frame sizes L5010, L5810, and L6808/09 significantly expands the rated output range, offering improved noise levels, mechanical stiffness, and heat dissipation. These frames support medium and high voltage ratings up to 6.6 kV.
Definite Purpose Lines: WEG offers several lines from the W40 platform, including Close-Coupled Pump Motors, Oil Well Pumping Motors, fire pump motors, and Compressor Duty Motors, each tailored to meet specific application needs.
Cost-Effectiveness: The W40 motors are cost-effective for applications not requiring high protection levels. Their open enclosure design allows for higher output levels compared to enclosed motors, with low sound pressure levels ensured by advanced simulation tools.
Electrical Data: Detailed electrical data is provided for various motor configurations, including full load torque, locked rotor current, efficiency, power factor, and sound levels, underscoring the high efficiency and performance of the W40 motors.
