The latest versions of the CFW-09 vector drive are housed in IP56 stainless-steel enclosures for use in highly aggressive environments where absolute protection of electronic equipment is essential. Typical applications include drive systems in chemical/petrochemical industries as well as food processing and preparation operations where washdowns are frequent and corrosive chemicals may be present. The stainless steel Shark unit is designed for applications up to 7.5kW and is integral to a two part package supplied by WEG, including IP56 motors, which can be supplied with special paint or epoxy finishes if required.
Complying with a host of international standards, including UL-50, UL-508C, IEC146, EN61800-3, EN61010-1 and EN50178, the Shark employs WEG’s unique Vectrue technology, which provides the user with the benefits of software selectable V/F, sensorless vector, closed loop vector operation in a single product.
