FAQs
Yes. The motor operates at input voltage 500 V, 50 Hz with a 4-pole configuration and a Y connection. It uses IMB35/IM2001 mounting and has a cast-iron frame, making it straightforward to integrate into existing 500 V power architectures and standard industrial drives.
The motor is rated IE5 efficiency, with Full Load performance around 94% and across partial-load levels (75% and 50%) near 94%. This translates to substantial energy savings in steady and transient operating conditions, reducing operating costs in continuous processes.
SynRM technology excels in applications requiring precise torque and high efficiency, such as conveyors, packaging lines, pumps, and fans. The 11 kW, 4-pole configuration supports reliable starts and smooth speed control across varying loads, improving process stability and throughput.
The motor features IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, with IMB35/IM2001 mounting for rugged environments. It also aligns with ABB EcoSolutions and provides an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for synchronous reluctance motors, helping with sustainability reporting and regulatory compliance.
Plan for IMB35/IM2001 mounting compatibility and a D-end top terminal box. The frame is 160 mm with a 681 mm net depth and 170 kg gross weight, plus a 160 frame size and 6309-2Z/C3 bearings. Ensure space for wiring, a 500 V supply, and proper cooling at up to 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude.
