CWIEME Berlin, one of the leading events for coil winding, transformer, electric motor, generator, and e-mobility supply chains, commenced on 14th May 2024 at Messe Berlin.

Each year, the world uses enough electricity to turn Lake Erie into a hot tub for a day, around 23,000TWh.

The deadline is fast approaching for exhibitors and buyers alike to complete their profiles on Connect @ CWIEME.

The anticipated event, CWIEME Berlin 2024, is set to commence in just under two months’ time.

  Professor Omar Hegazy, Head of Power Electronics and Electrical Machines at the MOBI Research Centre, University of Brussels (VUB), recently highlighted his team’s EV powertrain optimisation techniques at CWIEME Istanbul 2017. 

  Exhibitors of the CWIEME Chicago show have said the expansion of EV and HEV markets worldwide is a positive development for the coil winding, electric motor and transformer manufacturing industry. Breakthrough technologies and new products were also highlighted during the show.

The humble transformer is undergoing a digital evolution, having been introduced over 130 years ago, that will enable better analysis of power usage and unit lifespan. No matter how good a piece of technology is, there comes a time when it needs to evolve. The creation of the distribution transformer in the early 1880s was a technological marvel. For the first time, it allowed the high voltage flowing through the national grid to be safely a...

Manufacturers from across the transformer, electric motor, generator, automotive, energy and consumer electronics sectors will travel to CWIEME Berlin this June to source new materials and components, network, and stay abreast of all the latest industry developments. Between the 20th-22nd June, the exhibition for coil winding, electric motor and transformer manufacturing will open its doors to more than 6,500 visitors from approximately 80 c...

To promote its new soft magnetic alloy CARTECH HYPOCORE, Carpenter Technology will exhibit at CWIEME Chicago. The product exhibits excellent soft magnetic properties compared to existing commercialised grades of non-grain oriented electrical steel, allowing customers to explore new motor and generator designs that improve efficiency and reduce size.

The trend for high efficiency transformers has now spread to China, according to CEEIA, placing pressure on Chinese transformer manufacturers, as well as their electrical steel, cable and coil winding equipment suppliers to effectively balance performance with cost.

Growing demand for highly-efficient yet lightweight transformers has opened up a new application for Wickeder Westfalenstahl’s proven cold-rolled cladding. When used in the coil winding, the company’s copper-clad aluminium can dramatically reduce the weight of a transformer without compromising on performance.

High-efficiency distribution transformers with on-load tap changers can help distribution network operators and owners of commercial distribution rings to secure supply in light of increasing voltage fluctuations from renewable energy generation. The growing popularity of wind and solar power is fundamentally changing the way distribution networks operate. Many traditional energy consumers – from businesses to homeowners – have now al...

ArcelorMittal has been known as a company that goes the extra mile regarding technical support for more than a decade but recent years have seen the electrical steel supplier accompany its customers even longer in the development of new electrical machines. The company is acting increasingly in a consultancy capacity to help customers improve the accuracy of their calculations and modelling and, therefore, reduce the number of prototypes required...

Safety test provider Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is launching a shorter 50-day electrical insulation system test programme for electric motors at the forthcoming CWIEME Berlin exhibition. This service responds to global demand from manufacturers for help getting products to market quicker without compromising on safety.

As the world braces for ever more stringent regulations aimed at curbing carbon emissions, a winding technology promises to both increase motor efficiency and its power factor while using a surprisingly cost-effective method. Motor manufacturers are in a race to switch to more energy-efficient technologies to help countries reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as part of a global strategy to combat climate change. 

Transformer energy performance standards being introduced all around the world are spurring transformer manufacturers, as well as their electrical steel, cable and coil winding equipment suppliers, to rethink materials, designs and manufacturing methods in a bid to balance performance with cost.

On the 10-12th May CWIEME Berlin – the longest running exhibition of its kind – will celebrate its 21st anniversary over six halls at the Messe Berlin in Germany. As registration opens for 2016, organisers i2i Events Group are expecting another strong year for attendance from electrical product design, manufacturing, quality assurance, R&D and procurement professionals.

Coil winding breakthroughs will help make electric cars cheaper to build, more efficient to operate and even better for the environment, says Konstantinos Laskaris, Chief Motor Designer, Tesla. As the market for plug-in electric cars expands globally, even as petrol prices remain low, increasing vehicle efficiency continues to be the top priority for manufacturers. Recent developments in regenerative braking, which captures a car’s kinetic ...

Following the success of its shows in Berlin, Chicago and Shanghai, the CWIEME brand is now adding a new exhibition to its portfolio. CWIEME Istanbul, held 18th to 20th November 2015, will be the only event dedicated to coil winding, electric motor and transformer manufacturing technologies in this growing region.

  Speaking ahead of his forthcoming CWIEME Chicago seminar, Mahesh Sampat, Founder of EMS Consulting, reveals the main technical and market impacts of the impending U.S. Department of Energy efficiency regulations for distribution transformers.
