WEG .5018OS1ASPRBO48Z-SP is a 0.5 horsepower, 1800 RPM, single-phase open drip proof (ODP) motor. It features a 115V, 60Hz power supply, a 48Z NEMA frame, and a rolled steel construction. This general purpose motor is designed for applications requiring a cost-effective and reliable single-phase power source, such as fans, blowers, and light-duty machinery.

Solar-powered water pumping is based on PV technology that converts sunlight into electricity to pump water.

The PV panels are connected to an ADV200 SP drive, which converts the electrical energy supplied by the PV panel into mechanical energy, and this in turn is converted into hydraulic energy by the pump.

Synergies between the ADV200 SP Industrial Drives technology and the company’s Solar and Pump application know-how have allowed WEG to develop a special SW with lift controller and special function to optimize the operation of solar pump systems.

In addition the ADV200 SP is able to manage pumping systems powered by different sources: solar PV panels alone (off-grid), or both PV panels and grid supply (dual supply systems).
