CASE STUDY: AC RETROFIT
BEFORE: The original DC motor
AFTER: The new AC motor
A Yorkshire-based building products manufacturer turned to Westin Drives for a solution when it experienced problems with an obsolete haul-off unit. The old DC drive and motor were becoming unreliable and expensive to maintain, so an AC retrofit was requested. A WEG modular motor with force vent kit and a LENZE i550 inverter, which we stock, were selected for the job.
​As the gearbox showed no signs of failing, this remained. The new motor and inverter were installed, wired and commissioned in about six hours and new electrical drawings were provided. The customer was so impressed that a second machine was retrofitted a month or so later.
