Korea has introduced a mandatory Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS) scheme for low voltage motors. The MEPS scheme applies to 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-pole motors in the 0.75-200 kW range, up to 600V 60Hz. The following types of motors are excluded: hazardous area, TEAO and TENV, smoke extraction, marine and 2-speed motors, and motors with sleeve or thrust bearings. TEAO = Totally Enclosed Air Over, rated TENV = Totally Enclosed Not Ventilated In order to answer the necessities of our customers in South Korea, WEG have been developing the exclusive line W21 KS according to MEPS. The result is a extraordinary line where you can find the flexibility and quality of WEG (recognized internationally) and respecting the Korean regulations. Further these qualities, the Korean market will have the benefits of production in our factory in China, improving the speed and quality of our treatment for customers in Asia.
