WE4 Series Low-Voltage Three-Phase Asynchronous Motors

The WE4 series represents Wolong's next-generation low-voltage three-phase asynchronous motors designed for the high-efficiency market. Available in frame sizes 80 to 400, these motors offer rated power from 0.55 to 400 kW and support rated voltages of 380V, 400V, 660V, and 690V at frequencies of 50Hz and 60Hz. Constructed with premium-grade cold-rolled silicon steel, extended iron cores, and low-loss windings, coupled with an optimized cooling airflow design, they achieve IE4 efficiency or higher, with select models meeting IE5 standards. This helps customers reduce total cost of ownership through lower energy consumption. The compact motor design features end shields and frames made from high-strength cast iron, while the bearing system is engineered for long service life. A standard relubrication device (for larger frame sizes) ensures reliable operation even in harsh environments such as dusty or humid conditions.

Panpu SRM Switched Reluctance Drive System Case Study | Rubber & Plastic Products Factory | Energy-saving Retrofit of Injection Molding Workshop Oil Pumps with Process-Stage Speed Control

The 12 injection molding machines in the rubber and plastic products factory's injection workshop originally used an asynchronous motor + variable pump configuration, resulting in significant energy loss via overflow during the holding pressure and cooling stages. The project has now switched to Panpu SRM switch reluctance motor drive systems for the oil pumps, enabling speed-adjusted oil supply based on process stages.
