Quality Industrial Products
WEG Alternators are now available in the UK, and they stand out due to their unique features. The WEG G Plus and AG Line of products come with an IPMG auxiliary winding and a permanent magnet exciter stator as standard, which clearly sets WEG apart from the competition. Currently, WEG ranks as the number one supplier of alternators in Brazil, and they are expanding their market presence globally.
Additionally, WEG designs and manufactures synchronous alternators that offer low, medium, and high-voltage units. These units feature multiple poles and power ratings ranging from 10 kVA to 50 MVA. Consequently, WEG alternators find application in a wide range of industries, from standard industrial uses to complex oil and gas operations, as well as in multi-megawatt hydro and gas turbine power plants.

Versatility
Furthermore, WEG alternators are manufactured with various mountings and coupling types, allowing the same alternator to operate at different three-phase and single-phase voltage levels. Importantly, the standard line does not require a PMG auxiliary coil, enhancing its usability.
Moreover, the 2/3 winding pitch reduces voltage harmonic distortion in applications with non-linear loads. The encapsulated voltage regulator withstands high vibration levels and harsh environmental conditions, making it suitable for demanding applications. Finally, the permanent magnets on the exciter stator ensure reliable startup without requiring an external power supply, even after long periods of inactivity.
In summary, WEG Alternators offer a robust solution for a variety of industrial applications, backed by advanced technology and a commitment to quality.
