The increasing reliance of South African businesses on generator sets to mitigate power disruptions highlights a crucial need for proper selection based on specific operational demands.

In a country where most electric motors are not energy efficient, the announcement by South Africa’s government of its plans to introduce Minimum Energy Performance Standards is not a day too soon.

With the continued energy problems being experienced in South Africa, motors and drives are set to play an ever more crucial role in industry’s energy solution strategy. WEG Africa has the knowledge and expertise, and the technology solutions to assist operations in reducing their operating costs and increasing their productivity, while guarding their energy security.

A large complete substation E-house locally manufactured by WEG Africa will help power Sasol’s Upstream PSA project currently under construction in the Inhambane Province of southern Mozambique.

As part of its drive to expand the WEG footprint in East African markets, WEG is taking significant steps to increase its presence in Uganda by partnering with the company Petrok as its value added reseller.

The strengthened presence of WEG in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), through its strategic alliance with ts value-added reseller (VAR) Panaco, has proved to be highly successful.

Variable speed drives (VSDs) are generally considered as vital contributors to energy efficiency, but they also have features that can reduce the operational disruptions caused by loadshedding.

Whether companies need power to survive loadshedding or to raise their production output, the trend is for their power generating systems to get bigger.

Classified as hazardous areas, offshore oil rigs require that any equipment installed on them is certified accordingly – including electric motors to drive critical gas compressors. WEG electric motors ...
