Engineering Steel Belgium (ESB) is reported to be saving 45,000 Euros per annum on the operation of three cooling pumps on one of its electrical steel furnaces, since the installation of three WEG W22 132 kW, IE2 high efficiency motors, controlled by WEG CFW-09 variable speed drives. The WEG equipment was supplied by WEG distributor, Leclercq Energy, to Processautomation, who supplied and commissioned the complete energy saving package.

The WEG CFW-09 132kW inverter drives selected for the motor control task are matched to the W22 motors, producing the optimum operating characteristics for high efficiency operation. A key feature is the CFW09's self-tuning feature, which automatically matches the drive to the motor and load, relieving the user of the task of entering a motor map.
