Highlights at WEG’s booth will include new soft starters, medium-voltage variable speed drives (VSDs) and compact circuit breakers.

WEG’s new SSW900 compact soft starters are devices with integrated PLCs that provide fully programmable algorithms for regulating induction motors. They feature an integrated bypass contactor for longer service life, optimal space utilisation and lower heat dissipation in the switchgear cabinet.

Also on show are the new MVW3000 VSDs, designed to meet a growing demand for medium-voltage devices in Europe. They are built with multilevel technology and cascaded H bridges (CHB) to enable users to achieve medium-voltage levels simply by using standard cost-effective low-voltage components (diodes, IGBTs and plastic film capacitors).

WEG is also expanding its DWB series of compact moulded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) with three additional case sizes for output currents from 800 A to 1,600 A. 

WEG will be at Stand 250, Hall 3, at SPS IPC Drives 2016.
