DAS Company is an authorized WEG distribution partner, stocking and supplying the complete WEG electric motor and drive portfolio — W22 three-phase induction motors (IE3/IE4), W22 Magnet IE5 permanent magnet motors, CFW11 and CFW700 variable speed drives, SSW07 soft starters, ATEX explosion-proof motors and WEG motor control components — to industrial buyers, OEM machine builders and plant engineers across Europe from our Bulgaria distribution base.
WEG S.A., founded in Jaraguá do Sul, Brazil in 1961, is one of the world's largest manufacturers of electric motors, variable speed drives and industrial automation equipment — with manufacturing operations in 12 countries and products sold in over 135 countries. WEG's European motor range is fully compliant with IEC 60034-30-1 efficiency standards (IE2, IE3, IE4 and IE5) and the EU Motor Regulation 2019/1781 — which mandated IE3 efficiency as minimum for motors 0.75–1,000 kW in IE scope from July 2023. WEG's global manufacturing scale enables competitive pricing for IE3 and IE4 motors versus European domestic manufacturers — making WEG a frequent specification for motor replacement programmes and new capital equipment where energy efficiency and total cost of ownership are the primary selection criteria.
The WEG W22 three-phase induction motor is the flagship general-purpose motor range for European industrial applications — available from 0.09 kW to 1,000 kW in IEC frame sizes 56 to 450, covering B3 (foot), B5 (flange) and B35 (foot/flange) mounting configurations. The W22 platform features a JJ-frame design with optimised air-flow fins for reduced noise levels, a diagonally-split terminal box for simplified field wiring access and rotation, WSeal® sealing system (frames 225–355) preventing contaminant ingress into the motor interior, and extended lubrication intervals for reduced maintenance requirements. W22 IE3 Premium Efficiency meets the mandatory EU Motor Regulation 2019/1781 minimum efficiency requirement — direct replacement for existing IE2 motors in the same frame without mechanical modification. W22 IE4 Super Premium Efficiency exceeds IE3 by a further 15–20% energy saving at full load — providing faster capital investment payback on motors running more than 4,000 hours per year. The WISE® insulation system (Wound Insulation System for Efficiency) provides reinforced stator winding insulation specifically designed for variable frequency inverter operation — preventing partial discharge and insulation degradation from drive output dV/dt voltage peaks without requiring an external dV/dt filter.
The WEG W22 Magnet IE5 synchronous permanent magnet motor achieves efficiency levels that exceed IEC 60034-30-1 IE5 — the highest internationally defined efficiency class — through rotor permanent magnet technology that eliminates rotor copper losses entirely. In the same frame size as an equivalent IE3 induction motor, the W22 Magnet delivers higher output power, higher power factor (reducing reactive current demand) and stable efficiency from 25% to 100% load — making it significantly more efficient than induction motors at the partial-load operating points where industrial motors spend most of their service life. The W22 Magnet operates at synchronous speed with a WEG CFW variable speed drive (sensorless or encoder vector control) — enabling precise speed regulation without encoder feedback in many pump, fan and compressor applications. Compared to an IE3 motor plus drive combination, the W22 Magnet plus drive system saves an additional 10–15% energy — providing sub-3-year payback in continuous-duty applications.
The WEG CFW11 (1.1–630 kW, 220–690V three-phase) is the high-performance system drive for complex industrial applications — covering induction motor vector control (sensorless and encoder closed-loop), permanent magnet motor control (W22 Magnet IE5) and active front end (AFE) regenerative configurations. The CFW11 displaces field power factor of greater than 0.98 at rated load — reducing reactive power demand on the supply network. IP20, IP21 and IP54 enclosure ratings cover both panel-mount and standalone installation. The Plug-and-Play accessory system allows fieldbus option cards (PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, CANopen, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP), I/O expansion cards and encoder interface cards to be installed in the field without drive disassembly. The WEG CFW700 (0.75–110 kW, 200–600V) is the mid-range general-purpose drive for standard machine applications — combining CFW11 control technology in a more compact and cost-effective package for pumps, fans, conveyors and HVAC equipment. The CFW500 (0.18–15 kW) provides the compact economy drive for light machinery applications at the lowest CFW installed cost.
The WEG SSW07 soft starter (9A to 1,700A, 200–575V) provides controlled voltage ramp-up for three-phase induction motor starting — limiting inrush current to 2–4× rated current versus 6–8× for direct-on-line starting, reducing mechanical shock on pump impellers, conveyor belts and gearboxes. The SSW07 covers pump deceleration (soft-stop with adjustable deceleration ramp) to prevent water hammer pressure surges in long pipeline pump applications. Built-in motor protection functions (overload, phase failure, phase imbalance, locked rotor, undercurrent and thermistor input) eliminate the need for separate overload relay protection in most applications. The SSW07 supports serial communication via Modbus RTU as standard — with optional PROFIBUS and DeviceNet cards for fieldbus-integrated motor starter panel applications. Bypass contactor integration eliminates power losses through the thyristor stack during continuous motor run — standard configuration for all SSW07 applications where the motor runs for extended periods after starting.
WEG manufactures a comprehensive range of ATEX-certified motors for use in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 and Zone 22 explosive atmosphere applications — covering Ex d (flameproof), Ex e (increased safety) and Ex ec (increased safety) protection concepts per ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and IEC 60079 series standards. W22 ATEX motors are available in IE2 and IE3 efficiency ratings in IEC frames 63–450, covering the complete industrial motor power range for chemical, oil and gas, pharmaceutical and grain handling applications. The W22 brake motor provides integrated electromagnetic brake for fast stopping in hoisting, positioning and safety applications — with the brake mounted on the non-drive end within the standard motor frame length for compact installation. WEG crusher duty, paper mill and high-slip motors address specific industry application requirements beyond the standard W22 general-purpose platform.
The WEG motor control component range covers MPW motor protective circuit breakers (suitable for IE3 efficiency motors), CWM/CWC contactors (9–2,200A AC-3) and RW solid-state overload relays for building complete motor starter assemblies within WEG's matched motor/drive/starter ecosystem. WEG contactors and overload relays are designed to coordinate with W22 motors at their IE3 FLA values — where the higher efficiency and lower slip of IE3 motors requires recalculated overload relay settings compared to IE2 equivalents.
