WEG Electric Corp. (USA)’s Post

WEG is very excited to be the first motor manufacturer to offer motors that can include third party certification for Class I and Class II Division 2 hazardous environments which include shaft grounding to protect the motor and driven equipment bearings. After more than two years of effort, WEG’s complete line of cast iron motors has been evaluated to both IEEE-1349 Discharge Energy calculation and IEC 60079-0 standards. This not only ensures safe and reliable operation on VFD power, this can also eliminate the potential risks and expense of using two insulated bearings without shaft grounding. #WEG #VFD #motors #Aegis #HelwigCarbon
